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.

Are you capable of earning more than you do?

A lot of brilliant women fall into the trap of doing their best work for someone else. Because the idea of going out on our own or trying something new is just too risky.

But if you’re listening to this show because you’re in the habit of using alcohol to cope with your stress, you already know that you’ve got some untapped potential.

What if the problems you're trying to fix or figure out–a lack of willpower, energy and motivation, would instantly disappear if you didn’t feel undervalued and overqualified?

Today I’m talking with Kay Allison, a 65 year old entrepreneur and coach who has mastered the art of monetizing creativity. Kay increased her own income by 600 percent when she finally decided to fully commit to her own personal growth, and now helps clients turn their ideas into marketable and profitable products.

This episode is an inspiring look at how success isn’t actually any harder or more complicated than staying small if you’re willing to adopt a million-dollar mindset.
