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.

I met John Crouch when I decide to train BJJ and walked into the MMA Lab in Glendale, AZ and have been training with him, and his team, ever since that day. Coach Crouch is a great guy with a wonderful heart for his gym members and his fighters and I feel so fortunate I get to learn from him and get to know him better.

I met Andy 12 years ago when he was hired to take over Grand Canyon University Baseball. I was fortunate enough to broadcast many GCU games and have great conversations with Andy over the years; he taught me so much about the game I love and I appreciate him immensely. It was bittersweet that Andy took the USC job in the summer of 2022 -- sweet because, as you will here in the podcast, it is something Andy wanted to do and is excited about and I always wish the best for him...bitter because I will miss our pre-game chats! Andy is one of my favorite human beings and I hope you enjoy this PotterCast as much as I did! (Kuddos to GCU for acted quickly and signing, Gregg Wallis, who I have been fortunate to work with and learn from over the years, as well. Gregg is PotterCast E2 and I engocourage you to listen!)…
