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.

Driving hundreds of miles as a Road Warrior in the early 1900s meant eating nearly all meals in a roadside diner. Minimum state and federal food safety regulations weren’t really enforced at the time. As a result, travelers took a gamble when stopping to get something to eat at a flashing neon sign. So, around 1935, our mystery guest started keeping a daily log. Whenever he stopped in a restaurant during his travels, he would jot down notes about the taste and quality of the food. Interesting to note while enjoying good eating he never really learned how to cook while collecting profits from tasty morsels that we still enjoy eating today.

Send us a text Dr. John Pemberton invented this syrup in 1886 as a remedy for headaches. He sold it a few years later to Atlanta pharmacist Asa Candler.

Send us a text The 1890s bicycle craze in America was especially popular with women enjoying a new freedom they didn’t have before such as unchaperoned travel. The popularity of cycling caused a moral panic. According to late 19th century medical journals, doctors quickly diagnosed a new malady called ‘Bicycle Face’. This illness was discribed as 'leaving women with flushed faces, bulging eyes, clenched jaws, and overall expressions of weariness'. In time, with the advent of the automobile in the 1900s, the public health fear of ‘Bicycle Face’ was replaced by ‘Horseless Carriage Face’.…
