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.

Into the flood again...
On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided.com) and the Man in the Moving Box, Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) tried to figure out what teams could make the College Football Playoff for the first time in their history this season.
While teams like Florida, Illinois, Iowa State, Miami and South Carolina were easy choices, rounding out the top 10 was easier said than done.
From there, the guys listened to what Steve Sarkisian and Kenny Dillingham had to say entering spring practice.
Sarkisian has no interest in going to the NFL just yet, while Dillingham would prefer for the Sun Devils to be a little more Clemson.
To end the show, the guys made no excuses and got right down to the point with some Just Like Novocaine featuring some Alice in Chains.
Hopefully your eyes won't burn with stinging sweat after this episode!
