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.

When it comes to wildlife and natural resource management, look no further than these two. When I lived with Rob my sophomore year of college, I saw firsthand just how passionate these two are about the natural world. They would spend hours learning the scientific names of plants found across the southeast, memorizing the identification features of ducks, helping with marshland restoration projects and somehow still finding the time to go hunting. On the back porch of Kyle's house, we've had so many long discussions on the why it's important to manage our natural resources and how to do so. Farming and Resource management have only become more intertwined in the last couple years, and this duo has some neat ideas on what we can do to manage both to a good level. In between classes and study breaks we found some time to sit down for the brief episode. We discuss wildlife management from a bunch of different angles. While I'm definitely interested in exploring these ideas in more detail, this is a great episode for anyone interested in conservation, wildlife and our natural resources. Enjoy.…

Breanna and I get to sit down and talk a lot less often than you'd think. As national FFA officers, we actually travel separately the vast majority of the time. For the last year, we've been traveling across the country and very rarely do our paths cross. This week we've begun the process of getting ready for the National FFA Convention and Expo. The whole team, not just Bre and I, flew in to kick this process off. We sit down today for this episode after we turned in the first drafts of our retiring addresses, session scripts and all the other responsibilities that we have at convention. On this episode, we talk about our recent travels. Bre and I both got to spend some time in Missouri, just in different parts of the start. We talk about our writing styles and how we go about writing speeches. We get sidetracked into a conversation about DNA and then go back into talks about our travels across the country. Enjoy.…
