In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Exploring Financial Disparities: 7 Ways Money Differs for LGBTQ Folks 39:35

25天之前39:35

39:35

Is money really different for LGBTQ+ folks? Money is distinctly different for LGBTQ individuals due to a multitude of systemic factors that influence their financial experiences and outcomes. In this episode, we elucidate seven critical ways in which the financial landscape diverges for members of the LGBTQ community compared to their heterosexual counterparts. These disparities encompass aspects such as legacy beliefs, wage gaps, and the lack of representation within financial institutions, which collectively contribute to a unique set of challenges. As we delve into this discourse, we aim to provide our listeners with not only an understanding of these differences but also actionable solutions to navigate and mitigate the financial obstacles faced by LGBTQ individuals. Ultimately, our objective is to empower our audience with knowledge that fosters financial independence and well-being. Show notes: In this episode, John and David embark on a critical exploration of the nuanced financial realities encountered by LGBTQ individuals, contrasting these experiences with those of the general population. They introduce the concept that, while a substantial portion of financial transactions may appear homogeneous, approximately 20% of financial experiences diverge markedly based on identity factors such as gender, race, and sexual orientation. The discussion is anchored by seven key insights that underscore the distinctive challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals, including the impact of legacy beliefs—internalized messages from a heteronormative society that shape financial self-perception and decision-making. The conversation is further enriched by statistical evidence illustrating wage disparities, employment challenges, and the pervasive lack of representation within financial institutions. John and David advocate for a proactive approach to financial management, proposing actionable strategies aimed at mitigating these disparities and fostering economic empowerment within the community. Ultimately, the episode serves as a clarion call for greater awareness and advocacy surrounding LGBTQ financial issues, encouraging listeners to leverage their unique experiences as a source of strength. Topics Covered: 00:00 - Addressing Misconceptions About Money and LGBTQ Communities 05:31 - Understanding Financial Differences for LGBTQ People 09:17 - The Wage Gap in the LGBTQ Community 20:18 - The Financial Struggles of LGBTQ Youth 24:31 - The Changing Landscape of LGBTQ+ Financial Services 31:45 - Financial Equality and Advocacy 33:54 - Solutions for Financial Empowerment Takeaways: The financial landscape for LGBTQ individuals is characterized by unique challenges and disparities that must be acknowledged. A significant proportion of LGBTQ people experience economic hardships, including homelessness and unemployment, at higher rates than their non-LGBTQ counterparts. Legacy beliefs and societal messages profoundly impact LGBTQ individuals' relationships with money and their financial decisions throughout their lives. The wage gap for LGBTQ individuals persists, with many earning less than their heterosexual peers in similar roles and industries.…

Financial Empowerment: Five Steps to Organize Your Finances as an LGBTQ Person | Queer Money Ep. 577 15:28

5 weeks之前15:28

15:28

How can LGBTQ+ folks get financially organized? The intricate tapestry of financial organization is unraveled in this episode, as we delve into the essential strategies that can significantly impact the financial lives of LGBTQ individuals. The conversation is anchored around five indispensable recommendations designed to foster financial security and promote a sense of agency within the community. We begin by emphasizing the critical need for an emergency savings account, advocating for a more robust financial cushion than traditional advice suggests. Given the systemic challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals—including discrimination in housing and employment—our proposal of nine to twelve months of savings is not merely prudent; it is imperative for financial resilience. Continuing our discourse, we introduce the concept of a happiness budget. This innovative approach encourages individuals to assess their spending habits critically, redirecting financial resources towards experiences and purchases that yield genuine happiness and fulfillment, rather than transient pleasures. This discussion serves to challenge conventional notions of budgeting by advocating for intentionality over mere restriction. We further investigate the alarming statistic that a significant portion of the LGBTQ community lacks access to basic banking services, underscoring the urgency of becoming financially literate and engaged with available banking resources. As we transition into the realm of retirement planning, we confront the disheartening reality that a vast majority of LGBTQ individuals are not participating in employer-sponsored retirement plans. This oversight poses a considerable risk to long-term financial health and necessitates immediate attention. Finally, we explore the multifaceted nature of insurance, emphasizing its role as a safeguard against unforeseen circumstances. By addressing these five pivotal areas, we aspire to empower our listeners to take actionable steps towards financial organization, ultimately leading to a more secure and fulfilling life. Takeaways: Building an emergency savings account is crucial for financial security, especially for LGBTQ individuals. Creating a happiness budget allows individuals to prioritize spending on meaningful experiences and values. Engaging with traditional banking services is essential for managing finances effectively and securely. Saving for retirement should begin early, even with small contributions, to ensure future stability. Purchasing appropriate insurance is vital to protect against unexpected events and to secure one's financial future.

Make Your Long-term Money Goals a Reality: 5 Essential Steps to Success | Queer Money Ep. 574 14:26

8 weeks之前14:26

14:26

How to Achieve Your Long-term Goals Achieving long-term financial goals can be challenging due to a phenomenon known as delayed reward discounting, where individuals struggle to prioritize future gains over immediate gratification. This podcast episode delves into the importance of setting clear, quantifiable Queer Money goals that resonate personally, as well as understanding the underlying motivation behind these goals. The hosts discuss the significance of taking action by establishing dedicated accounts for each goal and automating savings to streamline the process. By sharing financial aspirations with friends and family, especially within the LGBTQ community, individuals can create accountability and inspire one another. Ultimately, listeners are encouraged to focus on both the practical steps of financial planning and the psychological aspects that can lead to sustained success. The psychological phenomenon of delayed reward discounting often impedes our ability to achieve long-term goals, leading many to set the same New Year’s resolutions year after year without progress. This episode addresses this issue head-on, inviting listeners to explore the intricate relationship between our aspirations and the actions—or inactions—that follow. The hosts introduce the concept of 'Queer Money Goals,' a framework designed to help individuals articulate their financial objectives in a way that is not only measurable but also exciting and relevant to their lives. This framework encourages the identification of significant long-term goals, or 'rocks,' while also acknowledging the importance of 'pebbles' (medium-term goals) and 'sand' (short-term desires) in the overall financial landscape. Show Notes A captivating metaphor of a jar filled with rocks, pebbles, sand, and water is utilized throughout the discussion to illustrate how prioritizing major goals can create a solid foundation for achieving smaller, immediate aims. The hosts stress the necessity of understanding one's 'why' behind each goal, which serves as a key motivator during challenging times. Furthermore, they advocate for automation in financial planning, suggesting that setting up direct deposits and automated savings can streamline the process and eliminate the temptation to divert funds from important goals. This not only simplifies budgeting but also contributes to building a healthier financial future. The episode culminates in a call to action for listeners to socialize their goals, particularly within the LGBTQ community, to foster accountability and inspiration. By sharing financial aspirations with friends and family, individuals can create a supportive network that encourages progress and celebrates milestones. The hosts conclude by outlining five essential steps for effective long-term financial planning, leaving listeners with a clear roadmap to navigate their financial journeys. This episode serves as an empowering guide for anyone looking to redefine their financial future by embracing both the challenges and triumphs of goal-setting. Takeaways: Delayed reward discounting makes achieving long-term goals difficult, leading to procrastination and distraction. Success is not a one-time event but a series of small, consistent actions over time. Establish your Queer Money goals by ensuring they are quantifiable, understandable, and relevant to you. Automate your savings and bills to simplify your financial journey and reduce stress. Involve your friends and family in your financial goals to create accountability and support. Understanding your 'why' behind your goals helps maintain motivation during challenging times.
