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.

Ep. 56 Uplift Kids with Drew Hansen 30:42

Koseli is lucky enough to share her long-distance Q&A with Drew Hansen from Uplift Kids. After subscribing to Uplift Kids for only 4 months, Koseli is obsessed and asks Drew her burning questions about Uplift Kids and learns so much more than she expected, including the term "spiritual parenting". This episode is for anyone interested in raising children with a greater understanding of world religions, open-mindedness, inner-knowing, and personal spirituality. What is Uplift Kids? "Uplift is a curriculum for families that combines the best of the ancient wisdom traditions (with their attention on the transcendent and ultimate purpose) and modern science (with its focus on rigorously testing falsifiable claims)." It's online, available worldwide. It's $100 for annual membership i.e. access to all the online lessons that include quotes, stories, videos, activities, and lesson prompts around topics ranging from honesty and virtue to family history and inner peace to activism and sexuality and consent. It's designed for kids 4-17 but we adapt and include our 3-year-old, too.
