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.

Nike’s 2025 Super Bowl ad was all about supporting women, when they’ve loudly opposed the safety of women’s spaces and the integrity of their sports for years now. I’m calling them out.

President Trump gave his address to a joint session of Congress last night, laying out his administration’s accomplishments thus far and setting the course for the future. Meanwhile, the Democrats absolutely embarrassed themselves by acting like petulant children throughout his speech, and things certainly didn’t get any better in the leftist media afterwards.

The magazine is pedestalizing him as an inspiration for trans youth not long after his parents won an award for their trans advocacy on his behalf.
