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.

Ep. 9: Ben Unleashed 34:50

5 dagen geleden34:50

34:50

This week, I’m going solo—no guests, just me, my unfiltered thoughts, and a whole lot to say. We’re talking about the most reckless dog owners (yeah, the ones who throw their dogs in the back of trucks like cargo—what the actual hell?), the chaos of running a podcast, and my ongoing koi pond nightmare. Spoiler: it’s still leaking. I also dive into imposter syndrome, podcast stats that blew my mind, and why this show is already in the top 10% of podcasts (what?!). Plus, a PSA to stop DMing me about how your grandpa’s dog “never jumped out” of a moving truck. News flash: until they do. Hit play, leave a review (good or bad, I can take it), and let’s get into it. 👉 Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple, Spotify, YouTube—wherever you listen. It actually helps.

In this episode of It’s Ben a Week , AJ and I take you on a chaotic, scandalous, and very White Lotus-esque trip to Cabo San Lucas. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway quickly turned into a week of sex, drugs, blood, and an unexpected airport shakedown. We dive into: Getting detained at customs and scammed out of $500 over podcast equipment The steam room situation that had us questioning everyone’s vacation intentions A near-death dinner disaster featuring sparklers, broken tables, and a woman literally flying through the air Smuggling stolen restaurant decor (allegedly) and making a dramatic escape The hard truth about cruise ship tourists invading our luxury resort But that’s not all—this week also features a special interview with my mom , where we get into: What I was really like as a kid (she does not hold back) The proudest and most questionable moments of my life Her take on my chaos and whether she actually listens to the podcast The one thing I do now that still drives her insane From unexpected encounters to full-blown chaos, this episode is equal parts insane, hilarious, and a little incriminating.

In this episode of It's Ben a Week , Morgan and I share a week full of unexpected scams and everyday chaos that will have you shaking your head in disbelief.

If you enjoy raw, unfiltered storytelling about life’s everyday mishaps, this episode is a must-listen.
