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.

Wild Rivers Discovery Trail (Oregon) 53:25

منذ 30 weeks53:25

53:25

Join us as we chat with Christian Fick about his time exploring southwestern Oregon. The Wild Rivers Discovery Trail is a 225 mile overland route in southern Oregon was developed by Overland Trail Guides. While most Oregonians head inland in search of views, this section of western Oregon features those vistas seldom seen in this part of the state. The region of southwestern Oregon got its name due to the numerous Wild and Scenic Rivers along this stretch of coastline. This section of coast is part of the Klamath-Siskyou ecoregion, that's home to the largest concentration of Wild and Scenic rivers in the lower 48. Prior to the establishment of commercial fishing, the salmon and steelhead runs along this section of coast were said to rival those in Alaska. The Flat Tops Adventure Trail The 225 mile long Wild Rivers Discovery Trail travels from the Oregon-California border, hugging the coastal mountain ranges as it heads northward to its terminus in Port Orford. The track crosses through the watersheds of more than half a dozen rivers, with fantastic riverside and creekside camping opportunities. For those looking to extend the adventure, one can easily connect the Wild Rivers track with the Steelhead Adventure Route (Smith River NRA / Northern CA) and the Siskiyou Crest Adventure Trail, that sits on the eastern side of the Rogue River-Siskiyou NF.

Originally, a favorite among the van life and outdoor recreationalist community (surfers, rock climbers, etc), more and more folks are using their Sprinter 4x4s to explore the dirt roads of the backcountry.

The Flat Tops Adventure Trail is a 298 mile overland route in northern Colorado that was developed by Overland Trail Guides. While lesser known than the San Juan Mountains to the south, the Flat Tops certainly aren't lacking in impressiveness or grandeur. The area gets its name from a series of table-top mountains that dominate the region. These unique geological formations were created by ancient volcanic activity and erosion over millions of years.

If you live in the American West, there's a good chance you've either been to Baja, or it's on your overlanding To Do list. And take it from us, every overlander should visit Baja at least once in their life! But being in a foreign country, there are a few things you'll need to prepare for when crossing the border into Baja. We talk with Kiley Johnson about some of his recent experiences exploring Baja. The first was with a guided tour lead by Pacific Overlander, where the group traveled from Tecate at the US-Mexico border down to the quaint seaside town of Loreto in Baja Sur. The second trip Kiley and crew went without a guide, and explored the mountains and Baja's east coast along the Sea of Cortez.

We chat with Jeff Thiel from Washington state about his experiences exploring the Olympic Peninsula this past summer. We'd shared a route still under development called the Olympic Traverse, and Jeff agreed he'd provide us with some boots-on-the-ground intel, recognizing that the route hadn't been fully researched and developed at the time. We're happy to say that Jeff's feedback has been a godsend and it's motivated us to finish up the route guide before winter rolls around. The Olympic Traverse is a 600+ mile loop through the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest that visits some of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular scenery.

The California Crest Trail 26:25

Episode Notes The California Crest Trail is poised to become the grand daddy of overland routes in California. Once fully developed, the route will span approximately 1,500 miles, with over 1,000 miles of dirt backroads and traversing a wide variety of ecosystems from the high desert to the lush evergreen forests near Mt Shasta. Largely built along the backbone of the California Backcountry Discovery Trails, OTG has been persistently extending this network of routes by developing the Shasta-Trinity and Tahoe BDTs in 2020. In 2021, OTG looks to develop the route even further south and east to create the California Crest Trail. Once all is said and done, the route traverses through the basin ranges and high desert, central and northern Sierra, southern Cascade Ranges, the Klamath Mountains, and the Coastal Mountains of Northern California.

The 138 mile long Mojave Road is one of the most iconic overland routes in California. And while it's not the longest, most technical or arduous track, the stark beauty of the Mojave desert, quirky attractions, and rich pioneer history makes this route the perfect weekend get away. And because it's relatively mild on the technical rating scale, it's a great route for beginners to try their hand at overlanding and off road exploration. We chat with John Liotti from Northern California about his experiences on the old Mojave Road and why he keeps heading back to the deserts of the American Southwest. In fact, you may recognize the voice or name, which is because we had John on a previous episode to discuss the Kofa Pioneer trail.
