QUALIFIED: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work with Shari Dunn | 284 33:58

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.

A Thing or Two with Claire and Erica

시리즈 홈•Feed

Hosts Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo, who you might know as the co-founders of the website Of a Kind (RIP!) or the co-authors of the book Work Wife, are all about discovery and enthusiasm. We've heard this weekly podcast described as a 'unique mix of urgent discussions of non-urgent things and thoughtful discussions of important, and often otherwise ignored, things,' and we're very much on board with that take.

First things first: You won’t get sick from touching a bag of S’noods ! We’re also coming at you with custard oatmeal, holiday mash-ups, and the many sides of the TikTok creator fund. We have a lot of thoughts about S’noods , their origins, and the sweet kugel flavor . Custard oatmeal is the new breakfast of champs around here. Erica’s recipe is from Life Around the Table , but there are a lot of fancier versions still . The Minnesota Zoo and Anchorage Bird Rescue also got in on the fun of ex-centric V-day fundraising. A follow-up on produce drawer cold remedies, @dr.beachgem10 has thoughts. We found some comfort in Sarah Eckel’s "How I’m Staying Sane" installment of her Substack It’s Not Us .

We have some denim thoughts we can’t bottle up anymore! Also: cookies, curse words, and no-polish confidence. Here we go. Irene from the Real World made a great TikTok about sitting jeans vs. standing jeans. Shoutout to The Consistency Project for helping us find vintage denim that fits and Jane on Jeans for endless intel—the place for denim discourse. The limited-edition Tate's White Chocolate Raspberry cookies ? So good! These little wooden mushroom nutcrackers + shelled walnuts = a nice pre-dinner snack-slash-activity.

Coming to you live from the couch! We have a batch of miscellaneous updates for you, from Julius and Tree Paine fanfic to food trends, cute and otherwise. Cutie news! Hello Kitty + Miffy statues have shown up at 17 State St. in NYC, and we’re excited to see these two powerhouses partner in this way. We are captivated by the very elaborate Fluffy Algodón Cotton Candy Art and floof cotton candy cakes . Also! Rebecca Jennings’s story on “pick me” foods for Vox is an incredibly interesting piece about how food trends change, and it brought some great memes to our attention. Speaking of meme accounts: We suggest taking a peek at Assistants vs. Agents on Instagram and their Hollywood Agent Awards specifically. What celeb content are you fanfic-ing?

Call it a classic grab bag from this time last year! Please note that we are still in the market for your Notes App intel… Gained some wisdom from @OlsenOracle , a perfect fan account (that is maybe even Olsen approved ???). We’re having a Marcella Hazan moment, thanks to, as Food & Wine put it her “radical simplicity.” Some recipes we’ve been cooking: THE tomato, onion, and butter sauce , grilled fish romagna style , pesto , rice and smothered cabbage soup , and chimney sweep’s gelato . Speaking of cooking, we must discuss this Julia Child gas stove story by Rebecca Leber for Vox , which pairs well with “How the Fossil Fuel Industry Convinced Americans to Love Gas Stoves,” which she wrote for Mother Jones. Your Notes Apping!! See: this packing-list revelation from@rileejsmith (um, the template ). We also love this TikTok from @kiramackenz . What weird things are you up to in the Notes App?

In a rerun of an *absolute hit* episode from last holiday season, we’re talkin’ Thingies with Alison Roman, the woman behind a SLEW of recipes we cook all the dang time. We know you know her, but JIC, she’s the author of NYT bestselling—and gifty!—cookbooks Sweet Enough, Nothing Fancy , and Dining In , she doles out the most delightful kitchen content in A Newsletter and on her Home Movies YouTube channel, and she delivers guidance of all kinds on her Solicited Advice podcast. In essence: She’s full of thoughts, and we want them all. First things first, what we would bring to a pilot kid-gift swap (thx, Leslie!): Spirograph , Yellow Owl Workshop DIY Pin & Flair Kit , Bastien Contraire Stencil Kit , Majo Ideas Art Pack , and Pop Tubes . Alison’s tabletop Thingies include beeswax candles (try Greentree Home Candle —maybe in the sangria color?!), candle holders *in general* (e.g., this Sophie Lou Jacobson one ), and interesting serving platters including Bordallo Pinheiro's . For the bod, she loves using Laneige’s lip mask as lip balm, and Davines’s Vegetarian Miracle Mask for her hair. On the food front, how about chopped fermented chilies—use them to make her Brothy Chickpeas with Calabrian Chili (and/or these chickpeas )—and, for dessert, Kolsvart gummies .
