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.

#401: Evo 2025 Lineup, Evo Awards, and Mai & Conan 1:13:56

1:13:56

Looks like taking that week off worked out for us. We talk about the Evo 2025 lineup, even though it was leaked ahead of time. They still managed a few surprises for us, though. We also discuss the Evo Awards categories and nominations. We appreciate the effort, but we feel like there are some missed opportunities there. We then head into discussing the DLC characters incoming soon (or later in the case of Venom for Guilty Gear Strive). We got a much better look at Mai for Street Fighter 6, and finally got a look at Conan gameplay for MK1. To wrap things up, we get a little too hyped over the Virtua Fighter 6 tech demo.

Bonus Round: Fighting Games vs Filmmaking 1:12:38

1:12:38

Adapting fighting games into movies and TV can be a tricky balance. Too much fan service alienates new viewers, while oversimplification risks losing the core audience. With examples like Mortal Kombat proving it can be done right, and upcoming adaptations like Guilty Gear Dual Rulers sparking debate, it’s clear that storytelling in this space demands a nuanced approach. Aaron David Harris, award-winning filmmaker and creator of the "Tales of Fist and Fireballs" podcast joins us in this episode. Aaron shares how his love for fighting games inspired his career, and how simplicity and storytelling balance can bring these adaptations to life.
