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.

You come at the king, you best not miss! How could we do a Trainers podcast and not speak to the King Of Trainers? We found out that his mum was the ORIGINAL trainer connoisseur who set him on his journey, how Tennis set the pace for signature shoes in the industry long before Basketball reigned supreme, and how the king's strong opinions have often rubbed some of the community up the wrong way. Franklin Boateng, aka the King Of Trainers, is a social media expert and brand consultant with over a decade's experience in the industry. As one of the most popular Trainers content creators in the UK, he founded the 'Drop Of The Year' awards in 2014, launched footwearjobs.co.uk to help people get in to the industry and worked on the first feature length film to look at the UK Trainer community; 'Sole Seekers'. Franklin spoke to us about his humble begins in the community and how his forthcoming collab with brand Ellesse means more to him than we could know. He continues to pioneer the UK Trainer community. You can find him on Instagram and Twitter at @kingoftrainers. Be sure to follow Trainers Not Sneakers across socials on @weweartrainers…
