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.

Games "The Field Game of Tag" and its variant Everybody's It Ro Sham Bo / Rock-Paper-Scissors Scotland Yard Mysterium Battlestar Galactica Pandemic Sushi Go The game of Poker and floppin' Chess and Perfect Information Games (Please note that chess is, indeed, the first example at the top of the page.) Space Alert Arabian Nights Space Team Three of those games were published in 2008, how strange! Mesopotamian Gaming: "Watch the world's oldest board game, the Royal Game of Ur, being played" on boingboing.net For reference, I brought up Moby Dick and Don Quixote as a joke that failed to land. Here is the history of the stranger/town dichotomy thing - it's a quote that is often misattributed. Also, we have discovered that when you google the title of literary classics, google auto-adds "movie" to the end of your query. How notable! Hero's Journey! We especially talked about the Call to Adventure, which in modern writing pedagogy is often called the Inciting Incident. Thanks!

Show Notes: Apologies that Paul is a little quiet at times, it is the consequence of our computer crashing just prior to beginning the recording.

Not Egyptian, but rather Mesopotamian! I regret the error.

Explicit content is only for very occasional, semi-accidental cursing. We thought the podcast was named something different at first, but then discovered otherwise, but the nature of the podcast means we can't re-record episodes.
