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.

I'm your host, Johnny, and with the help of Dylan Bain, we're going to debunk some budgeting myths, shed light on the emotional and psychological aspects of managing your money, and illustrate how budgeting reflects your values more than you might realize.

We delve into how to convert variable expenses into fixed ones, using practical examples from everyday life. Furthermore, we discuss the significance of financial clarity, the concept of the locus of control in budgeting, and the correlation between financial decisions and personal values. We also touch on societal and systemic issues related to budgeting, offering tips and resources to overcome these challenges. Towards the end, we navigate through the intricate connection between money and morality, and how it influences wealth accumulation. We explore the age-old debate - is it better to be broke with a good heart, or have wealth and a flawed heart? Finally, we wrap up with some valuable budgeting tips and recommend resources to help you take control of your financial future.

A Deep Dive into the Human Psyche: Creativity, Parenthood and Modern Challenges 1:49:50

1:49:50

How often do we find ourselves stuck in the rut of creative fatigue or spiralling down the procrastination vortex? In this heartfelt chat, my pal Marcus Thornton and I unravel our shared experiences, shedding light on these all-too-familiar struggles. We serve up some wisdom - and a fair few laughs - discussing everything from finding balance in life to the power of self-awareness, and navigating the tricky waters of parenthood. Being a decent human being can be a tough gig, especially when we're trying to keep up with the pace of the modern world. Marcus and I grapple with this issue head-on, pondering the role of college in personal growth, the critical role of purpose in overcoming life's hurdles, and how to manage that ever-elusive work-life balance. Marcus, twice a dad now, brings a refreshing perspective on the emotional and mental adjustments fatherhood demands, and how it shapes us, for better or worse. As we round off our chat, we venture into the social aspect of being human, with the current landscape of information and disinformation taking center stage. Marcus, with his historian's hat on, calls upon us to question information, interpret sources, and appreciate the complexities of human behavior. We wrap up with a deep dive into the power of motivation, responsible use of technology, and the delicate dance between empathy and virtues in our daily interactions. Join us for an honest, thought-provoking conversation - we've saved you a seat at the table!

What would you do if you discovered a passion for an art form that had the power to change your life? Join me, Johnny aka the Curious Ulsterman, as I sat down with Clint McInnes, a tattoo artist and repeat guest who turned a passion for drawing into a successful career by owning his own tattoo business. Clint's story serves as an inspiration for anyone exploring a new career path, especially those considering the world of tattoo artistry. He sheds light on how he took the leap to follow his passion in his mid-20s, and how trust in one's abilities is a significant factor to making that transition. Our conversation also brought to surface the importance of mentorship in the tattoo industry. Clint elaborated on how tattooing is not just an art, but a skill, emphasizing the significance of understanding safety practices such as managing bloodborne pathogens. He offered insights into the varying types of apprenticeships, from basic to intricate design learning, and the need for recognizing different art styles. Clint's invaluable advice on identifying the right mentor is a goldmine for aspiring tattoo artists, or anyone entering a new field for that matter. Clint's journey didn't stop at learning the skills. He shared his personal experience of becoming a full-time tattoo artist, and the realities that come with achieving success in this field. The notion of 'overnight success' is a myth he dispels with his advice on staying motivated and consistent. We ended our enlightening conversation discussing post-tattoo care, handling tattoo regrets, and Clint's belief in what makes the perfect tattoo. So, whether you're an aspiring tattoo artist or simply a fan of the art, this episode packed with insights from an industry pro could be the push you need to pursue your passion.

Ever find yourself wondering how major life events might alter your perception of the world? How experiencing the joy of a wedding or the birth of a child might cause a shift in your mindset? Join me and my good friend Rob Phipps as we set off to explore these intriguing questions. With his personal anecdotes about migrating across the United States, embracing fatherhood, and navigating other profound life transitions, Rob helps us shed light on the notion of paradigm shifts. Throughout our dynamic discussion, we touch on the psychological aspects of these shifts, the complex relationship we have with nostalgia, and the mind's capacity to filter information. Rob offers invaluable insights into the importance of staying present during life-altering events and the role that mentors can play in guiding us through these shifts. We further delve into how breathing techniques can anchor us during uneasy moments and the role of mobile apps like the Breathe app in cultivating mindfulness. As our conversation carries on, we discuss the power of recognizing and cherishing small, often overlooked, paradigm shifts that have significantly impacted Rob’s life. We also ponder upon how cultivating gratitude for our accomplishments can help navigate these shifts and share practical steps to manage this transformation. As we conclude, we touch upon the benefits of meditation and body awareness in preparing for paradigm shifts. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and tools for navigating life’s most transformative moments.

We express our gratitude for the dedicated family of listeners we've built along the way and share our dreams for the future. Our merriment gives way to a more profound musings. You know how life has a knack of tossing curveballs, or as we like to call them, 'surreal moments'? We ponder over these, the ambushes life often springs on us, and the importance of having the right tools in your arsenal. Drawing parallels from history, we delve into Roman Army's ambush and defeat at Teutoburg Forest, a stark reminder that life's obstacles are as old as time itself. We also touch upon grief and bereavement with a hint of bringing in a psychology expert for further discussions on the topic. As we toast to our 50th episode, we contemplate the narratives of our forebears, their survival stories and the role these play in our contemporary struggles. In a world where the media often holds the reins of perspective, we voice our intent to counter this narrative through our podcast. Looking ahead, we're all set to tackle some hard-hitting topics and break down stigmas, all while continuing to connect with you, our listeners.

Ever feel the urge to unplug and escape into the wilderness? Imagine sitting by a campfire, completely disconnected from the rush of modern life, and feeling a sense of peace emanating from your very core. This week, we're thrilled to have John Boe, the bushcraft expert from Wildway Bushcraft, joining us. John passionately shares his wisdom about embracing the wild and the manifold benefits it offers - physically, emotionally, and mentally. John helps us distinguish between bushcraft and survival, highlighting the skills and knowledge needed to truly relish the natural world. We talk about the courage it takes to be still and alone with our thoughts, and why it's crucial to live life on our own terms rather than chasing societal expectations. Whether you're nestled in the heart of the city or living on the edge of a forest, John shares insightful tips on how you can get started with bushcraft, opening a gateway to a life more attuned with nature. As we wrap up, we delve into the importance of interacting and protecting our environment. We share actionable steps to conserve natural beauty, from volunteering for local conservation initiatives to simple walks in nature. We also take a moment to express our deep gratitude to you, our amazing listeners. We hope you find this episode as enlightening as we did, and that it inspires you to step outside, appreciate the beauty of the wild, and discover the joy of bushcraft.
