The Pitter Patter Podcast with Eric and Jed

The Pitter Patter Podcast with Eric and Jed

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.

In this episode, Eric and Jed discuss how their personal faiths are being revisited and maturing in adulthood. With more time to wander, be hurt by the church, live your own independent life and find other outlets for purpose and community, why would one revisit their faith? What does that look or feel like? Why believe or surrender to something bigger than yourself? ----- WHAT IS THE PITTER PATTER PODCAST? Jed and Eric, co-hosts of the Pitter Patter Podcast, have been best friends for over a decade. For years, this unconventional duo - Jed, a tattooed motorcycle riding fellow & Eric, an unassuming skinny nerd - have been seemingly unable to avoid having thoughtful & often humorous conversations about life's deeper questions, society, mindset, productivity, and our generation. With them, no topic is ever off the table, and you can always depend on them to surprise you with their candor and vulnerability. Summer of 2018, Eric and Jed decided to start recording some of these conversations every week - in hopes of reaching and encouraging others curious about or struggling with the same questions!
