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, Jeremy gets a little personal and shares some RAW thoughts on the past 3 years of Paper Jacket. We basically started 3 years ago (June 2016) as just John and Jeremy - conquering the world! But...as moist business owners will tell you, the romance of being an entrepreneur can ware off or die down. Life gets REALLY busy. Jeremy shares what we have learned as a business and in our personal lives what growing a brand or business is all about. If you are a new business - especially within your first 3 years - you HAVE TO listen to this. The earlier you get some perspective, the better. Biggest take -away from this: "Don't grow a job...grow a business."…

In this episode, Jeremy discusses two big things: 1) How the SEO game is the exact same strategy - just a different formula. 2) How you can never grow your business without BOTH a marketing and sales team.

From there, he shares why you should not expect the same results from marketing as you do sales - or visa versa.

"Bull crap - you DID grow your business with marketing" - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks 7:03

You know what I hate hearing? The lie of businesses and organizations saying that they grew without any marketing. Do they even know what marketing is? It’s more than advertising. It’s more than flyers, businesses cards, social media and email. It’s your logo. It’s your tagline. It’s your description. It’s ever single piece of content you’ve ever made. You may have done less than others, but you’ve always done marketing. Now ask yourself - should I be known as the company that doesn’t market? Will that actually help my grow?…

Email Marketing Strategies in 2019 - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks 15:03

Car ride thoughts - honest thoughts on email marketing. Whenever I hear about people buying list and sending out huge email blast, are usually cringe. I also tend to agree that email marketing is kinda dead. Not fully, but certainly harder than most other platforms that are out there. I ultimately believe that social media is the best place to interact with your audience. So if you use your email marketing like to use your social media, I think you could have a profitable email marketing strategy. But if you use email marketing like a constant advertisement, you’re going to lose a lot of people and hurt your brand.…
