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.

In December of 1914,71 year-old decorated CivilWar Major, accomplished journalist, and famous author Ambrose Bierce wrote his Niece and his secretary to tell them he was going to Mexico to cover the Mexican insurrection led by Pancho Villa and others.He felt likely thathis fate would be probably be that of being lined up against a wall and shot- as these insurrectionists were quick-tempered killers. Not long after, Bierce disappeared completely, and years of searches have not brought any concrete evidence of what happened to him- but the legend told by those who daid they saw him or knew of him in his last days tells the story very much like the one he envisioned.

This is his story.

THE 1889 JOHNSTOWN FLOOD (PT 1) HEROES & SURVIVORS 1:16:36

On May 31st 1889 the earthen dam holding back Lake Conemaugh 15 bmiles upstream from Johnstown, PA burst duriung heavy spring rains, sending a 40 foot wave of death down a narrow river valley in which was located 80,000 persons, and finally reaching Johnstown with houses, alive and dead persons, trees, and scrap of all types, which caught on fire when it all hit the bridge at Johnstown, literally roasting many survivors alive in the conflagration. We feature survivor and author accounts in part one, and in part 2 we deal with the aftermath and investigations. This is a unique history lesson in that there had been warnings, and there had been prior floods- and no action was taken to shore up the dam which caused all the deaths.
