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.

This episode we welcome the salsa-dancing Ines. Her dance moves and rhythm caught my attention but her story touched my heart. In our conversation, Ines reminisces about her NY club days that would turn into late nights with friends. I find her so special, because of her instinct to always be the first to help others, including her late son who this episode is dedicated to. She wonders why she is still here, sometimes the answer is: because.

This week’s episode is close to my heart, as we welcome John. I first met John in my building as we are neighbors and now I feel lucky to call him my friend. He often visits and brings his crossword puzzles to finish as I do my own work, his companionship means the world to me. John makes me laugh, always has a quick witted response for any moment and really loves connecting with people. John, in his own words, was a “nice specimen” which was much admired. He shares about his simple upbringing and close bond with his older brother, who he looks up to.
