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.

About Episode John Gilbert grew up in rural North Carolina playing sports, and dreaming of becoming a baseball player. Just like most boys, he was not afraid to jump off rocks and tow the line of safe adventures. He had no intention of turning this youthful play into a career. But when his Uncle asked him if he wanted to jump off buildings and try out some fun stunts, he said yes. Over 20 years later John has a resume that is eclectic and impressive. His talents were seen on shows like One Tree Hill, Sleepy Hollow and The Vampire Diaries to name a few. His commitment to his craft earned him a Taurus World Stunt Award nomination for Best Stunt Rigging in First Man. Post Covid, John and his family made some big decisions and he began to wonder if this industry that he loved so much was where God was calling him next. Following his faith and the desire for more he has pivoted from stunt man to businessman. Join us as we talk about his time in an industry he loved and what it was like to choose an unknown path. John emphasizes the importance of sharing personal stories. Extraordinary lives are defined by integrity and motivation. Faith can guide career decisions, even in challenging industries.

Why you started a career in one season doesn’t mean you are to stay in the same career in a different season-be open to the subtle shifts Community and support are vital in navigating career changes. Owning your creative license is crucial for authenticity. Obedience to God's calling can lead to unexpected blessings. Young dreamers should align their dreams with God's will. Rejection can be a form of divine protection.

At a young age they were shaped by their love for sports and love for God. Raised by two incredible parents who helped them to see what marriage should look like and how to love like Jesus did despite the world around them.

Not getting caught up in the end results Find a balance between family and career is important as Derek and Jacen are married and creating families The evolution of dreams and goals after college Work experience and having a strong work ethic can provide valuable skills and help in career advancement. Each of the Bros. held jobs in high school and in college. Helping them to manage time and create a deeply rooted work ethic.

Friendships that are “for you” can exist regardless of that person's beliefs. There is a richness that comes from having friends who walk with Christ.

Modeling kindness and having a compassionate approach to interactions with others can have a positive impact on relationships and personal growth. Kindness and compassion can have a profound impact on others, even in small gestures.

About Episode Angela Fernot knows more than most what it means to fight for her life. At 18 years old she was kicked out of her childhood home. Keeping herself fed and finding a place to sleep were competing with her dreams of pursuing a degree in art. Angela’s determination and grit helped her push past anyone including some family members who tried to stop her. She is still battling the nay sayers and voices in her head telling her she is not enough. Yet Angela's heart to serve others and help fight for those who (like her) needed someone to fight on their behalf is her motivation to keep fighting. Join us as we talk in detail about her childhood and what she has overcome. Be ready to feel seen by Angela and her story and to know there is someone in your life who is willing to fight for you. You just have to ask. Authenticity and quirkiness can lead to strong connections and friendships. Being an artist is not limited to selling professionally; it can also be a fulfilling hobby. Family and societal expectations can sometimes discourage pursuing a creative career, but it's important to follow your passion. Having supportive friends and role models can make a significant impact on one's journey as an artist. Challenging limiting beliefs and choosing to pursue your dreams despite doubters is crucial for personal growth. Growing up in an unstable environment can make someone resilient and resourceful. Overcoming a scarcity mindset requires deep gratitude and finding small moments of success. Making hard choices that align with one's values and lead to personal growth is essential. Stepping out of comfort zones and embracing new environments can lead to opportunities and personal transformation. Having an abundance mindset and being open to receiving can lead to growth and success. Surround yourself with people who can see beyond your limitations and believe in you. Help others who are going through similar challenges and share your own experiences. Overcome obstacles by reflecting, remaining authentic, and not letting fear run you. Celebrate the victories of others and be open to new experiences. _______________________ Check out Angela Fernot on IG and follow along on their journey! www.angelafernot.com Bespoke favorite coffee shop @bespokecoffeenc Folks Cafe @folkscafee Snowshoes Workshop @snowshoesworkshop -check them out!
