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.

On The Process, we work through the experiences we're having on the journey to our best lives. Each episode we dig into a different topic - love, sex, money, life changes - with a mission to uncover the things that threaten to diminish our joy, and to discover the things that will help us magnify it. From time to time, we conduct interviews with people (other makers and creators) whose work and lives inspire us to reflect on radical - more sustainable - ways of being in the world. We want to know about your process. We want to talk with people who are forging their own path, making their own way, and living in their own dream. If you'd like to be a guest on the process, send us an email at asktheprocess@gmail.com.

This week on The Process, we dig deep into authenticity, unpacking the dangers of its absence and the power of its presence. We explore how we were taught (read: trained) to minimize our truths, and how we might begin to unlearn those lessons. We get clear on what authenticity means to us, and how it demands that we investigate our own needs and desires such that we can share them with others. The road to authenticity isn’t an easy one, but the journey is (of course) worth it. Give it a listen and let us know what you think.
