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.

This week, we sit down with Drew Hancock to discuss his film 'Companion'. Hancock elaborates on the challenges of balancing visually striking sci-fi elements with grounded, relatable themes of relationships. He emphasizes the importance of shooting the movie more like a relationship drama rather than a typical sci-fi film, comparing it to works like 'Marriage Story' instead of 'Minority Report'. The film centers around Iris, a woman escaping a toxic relationship and discovering self-empowerment, portrayed metaphorically through her interactions with AI. Hancock also shares insights into key moments in the film, particularly a pivotal breakup scene that highlights character transformations. The episode wraps up with Hancock's recommendations for a double feature, including 'Lars and the Real Girl' and 'Upgrade'.
