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.

Avi and Mal talk going to a bookstore, book buying, and listen to the Tiger roar. This is the first trial of Teardown, where Avi and Mal read first lines of books and make judgement calls.
Avi and Mal return after a hiatus. They talk Tiger update, what's happened to their jobs, and more writing existential feels, now that Writetober and Nanowrimo are knocking on the door. Mal goes on an INTJ Female tirade.
The upstairs dog freaks out Tiger, who meows most way through the episode about writing, watching Easter egg and episode breakdown videos, and general catching up.
Avi and Mal are in self quarantine, so it's time for Fun With Chickpeas! Talk about why it's dangerous to make the world allow Mal to be socially distant, a Tiger Health Update, and how CoVid-19 has changed perspectives on what writing should mean, like, deep in your soul.
Avi and Mal catch up after the Oscars. Talk about Avi's parents, Mal changed primary doctor, and then it got political for longer than anyone cares. Tiger is doing well, and has some input!
Avi and Mal are back! But nothing has slowed down. Mental health catch up, grief, this cat is old, and #MakeMeMoistAgain and of course, writing blogs, scripts, books, and reading.
Avi and Mal get some Tiger attention, then Tiger sleeps. Talk ensues over exchanging gifts, new toys, media consumed, and end with talk about the Highway to Hell project. Hilarity ensues.
