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.

8 Advanced Ways to Expand 25:44

25:44

Summary In this episode, David Osborne discusses advanced ways to expand a company, focusing on eight strategies: corporate owned expansion, satellite offices, joint ventures/partnerships, franchising, white labeling, mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances, and licensing. He explains the benefits and challenges of each strategy and emphasizes the importance of having a solid foundation before considering expansion. Takeaways There are multiple advanced strategies to expand a company, each with its own benefits and challenges. Before considering expansion, it is crucial to have a solid foundation in recruiting, training, systems, processes, sales, branding, and lead generation. Corporate owned expansion involves opening new offices or branches that are run by the company itself, allowing for full control over operations and brand standards. Satellite offices are additional locations that operate under the same brand but have a general manager who reports to the company's owner or CEO. Joint ventures and partnerships involve sharing resources, risks, and profits with another person or company to enter a specific market. Franchising allows for rapid expansion by granting the right to use a brand name, products, and business systems to franchisees in exchange for fees and royalties. White labeling involves partnering with another company to provide products or services under their brand name, while the company providing the service remains behind the scenes. Mergers and acquisitions involve merging with or acquiring another company to quickly scale the brand and market presence, but it requires cultural alignment and may result in limited control over operations. Strategic alliances and subbing out involve forming alliances with other businesses to co-market or co-develop products, but there is less control over the quality of the service provided. Licensing allows another company or person to use a brand name and intellectual property in exchange for a licensing fee, providing less operational involvement and lower initial costs. Each expansion strategy requires careful consideration and evaluation of the level of control, financial investment, and potential risks and rewards.
