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.

Multiplying Kindness - Is that possible? If so, how?
The answer is a resounding yes and it happens every time we give kindness away. In fact, that is the only way it multiplies!
In this Dr. Elia Gourgouris interviews his co-host Randy McNeely who shares, in a raw, authentic way his personal story of rising above and overcoming personal adversity and how it drove him to become, The Kindness Giver, or, Captain Kindman as some are now calling him.
How did that happen?
Listen to find out about how Randy's kindness hero mother, and his not so kind, yet service oriented father, helped him learn how and what you can do to multiply kindness in your own life.
Take a listen. You'll be glad you did.

How did that happen? Listen to find out about how Randy's kindness hero mother, and his not so kind, yet service oriented father, helped him learn how and what you can do to multiply kindness in your own life.
