The People We Meet

33:58

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.

Professor Ian Brighthope played a significant role in "The Great Debate: Port Hedland vs The Premier," an event held in Perth on November 29, 2024. This debate was centered around the controversy regarding DNA contamination in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, following a motion by the Port Hedland Town Council to suspend these vaccines due to health concerns. The debate was a response to the Western Australian Premier's dismissal of the Port Hedland motion, highlighting a clash between local governance and state policy regarding public health measures. It underscored the need for more transparent and scientifically robust discussions on vaccine safety, especially concerning long-term health effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaCc8NobSvk…

1:05:01

Unlike many who head to university straight out of high school, Catherine took a different path, living life and gaining experiences until a dream took hold at the age of 33 — the dream of becoming a teacher. She found herself standing at the front of a classroom filled with 30 eager faces. But as she navigated the ins and outs of the education system, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disillusionment. It led her to question the very core of our educational institutions. So, she began to ask herself, what is the true purpose of education? Are we genuinely preparing students for the challenges of life beyond the classroom, or have we become entangled in a system that has lost its way?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PsLRgEYf9E…

This story is about a retired man named Gerard Donohue, and his journey involving a concept known as a "writ." A writ is a formal written order or directive issued by a legal authority, such as a court or government agency.

Gerard's life story takes a unique turn with his passionate advocacy for electoral reform in Australia. Born and raised in Country Victoria, Gerard's retirement didn't mean he was done with making a difference. Inspired by the imprimatur given to him by his wife and driven by his love for his ten children and grandchildren, Gerard is on a mission to address the issues he perceives within the Australian electoral system.…
