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.

The Five Elements. In this episode we discuss the relationship with the elements and humankind, where the five elements came from, and how they are applied and integrated into Chinese life. In traditional Chinese culture, the five elements, or five phases, theory outlines the relationship between the different elements in nature and the life force, or "qi," that flows through them. The five elements are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water . The five Elements theory is an ancient Chinese analogy theory, which combines philosophy, divination, fortune-telling, calendar, traditional Chinese medicine and sociology. The essence of the Five Elements theory holds that the world is composed of five basic material substances: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The development and cycle of changes within nature (eg.. seasons ) are the result of the continuous movement and interactions of these five different conditions. The concept of "five elements" first appeared in Huangdi Neijing, in which the relationship between the five elements and the human body was first proposed. The regulation of "five elements" was first observed from the movement regulation of the five planets in the Universe. Later, With the observation and study of nature by Chinese ancestors, the relationships between and within the five elements was gradually formed. In Xunzi, Mencius 孟子 was the earliest creator of The Five Elements theory. In the late Zhan Guo (Dynasty) period, Zou Yan 邹衍 was one of the main people who applied the theory of Yin-yang and the Five Elements to the calculation of national fortunes. In order to define the five elements, the author SHANG SHU. HONGFAN 尚书.洪范 specifically puts forward the names of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth ZUO ZHUAN-Cai Mo 左传蔡墨 then Proposed the theory that the existence of human life depends on the Five Elements. The Ancient Chinese holds that the nature of the universe is composed of five elements. The rise and fall of the five elements makes the universe and nature change, which not only affects the fate of people, but also tells people the law between the universe and nature.

Episode two in the second series of Pen to Sword where we interview Master Su Yin Han live from Yong Chun in Fujian province in China. We ask what has made White Crane Kung Fu so famous and why it is has gone on to influence so many other martial arts styles, such as Karate. We talk about soft and hard power, we talk about the origins of Crane system deriving from a woman's necessity to defend herself and the necessity for people to be able to copy and train it easily. Yong Chun White Crane has historical facts that can be traced all the way back to Fan Qi Niang. This documentation is unique for a classical Chinese martial art to have survived the test of time and supports the origins of the system, the names of the patterns and names of the moves. Many new styles are now looking to Yong Chun White Crane to learn more about the origins of their styles and are copying the names of their moves and linking back.

In this episode we continue the conversation with Master Su Yin Han around training of White Crane Kung Fu. Why is it harder for people in the West to learn Kung Fu? How important is it to understand the secrets of Kung Fu verses just getting on and, well, training? Master Su indicates that practitioners of white crane kung fu who have trained for some time and attained a certain level then need to take on Chinese culture, specifically Daoist philosophy including Bagua, Yin-Yang and 5 elements theory to compliment the ability to generate hard and soft power. But, before you get there and for many of us - just train, or as Master Su puts it - "Just ******* do it!!" Remember to subscribe, like and share! Pen to Sword is brought to you by Phecda.One.
