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.

142: Beyond the Surface: Exploring the Deeper Layers of Human Behavior with Jahmaal Marshall 55:36

55:36

In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, Ted sits down with Jahmaal Marshall, a counselor and podcaster, for a deep and honest conversation about personal growth, burnout, and the power of community. Jahmaal opens up about his journey into podcasting and the lessons he’s learned along the way, emphasizing the importance of stepping into discomfort and building strong support systems. They dive into managing energy, taking time to reflect, and auditing different areas of life to keep growing. Jahmaal also breaks down common self-sabotaging habits, helping listeners understand their deeper reasons. The conversation touches on the transition from a reactive, boyish mindset to a more intentional and strategic way of living. They talk about the real (often unglamorous) work required for long-term success—like facing fears, pushing through resistance, and making tough but necessary changes. Jahmaal also shares insights on avoiding burnout and the wisdom we can learn from nature about time and transformation. Takeaways Embrace discomfort to foster personal growth. Community support is crucial for accountability. Burnout can be managed through energy awareness. Pausing allows for reflection and better decision-making. Auditing your life helps identify areas for improvement. Self-sabotage often stems from deep-rooted beliefs. Understanding your 'why' is key to sustainable change. Small tweaks can lead to significant improvements. Time management is essential for productivity. Healing past traumas is necessary for future success. Monetary success does not equate to spiritual or emotional well-being. Investing time in personal growth can prevent future setbacks. Resistance is a natural part of making significant changes. Vulnerability is essential for true healing and growth. Transitioning from a boy to a man involves strategic thinking. Recognizing patterns in behavior is crucial for change. Course corrections are necessary for achieving goals. Sustainable change often requires unsexy work. Nature teaches us valuable lessons about time and letting go. Healing oneself can prevent others from suffering from your past actions.

They discuss the competitive edge gained from sobriety, the root causes of alcohol dependency, and how to navigate social and business situations without alcohol. The conversation emphasizes taking responsibility for one's health and making intentional lifestyle changes.

The conversation concludes with reflections on kindness and the fragility of life, encouraging listeners to be mindful of their choices and the effects of alcohol on their health.
