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.

Conversations: Manzanar Fishing Club 44:00

acum 5 years44:00

44:00

Many of us understand the sense of freedom provided by fishing. But, many of us will never understand how powerful that sense of freedom was for some. Daniel talks to filmmaker Cory Shiozaki about the dark chapter of concentration camps in the US, which incarcerated over a hundred thousand American citizens. One such concentration camp was Manzanar, in the Eastern Sierra. At Manzanar, some internees risked their lives to sneak out and go fishing, possibly tenkara, in the Eastern Sierra to get some respite, and a sense of freedom and dignity not allowed to them otherwise. Fishing always brings with it a glimmer of hope. But, it can also provide a sense of freedom, and dignity, as the story behind the Manzanar Fishing Club shows us. Listen to their conversation to learn more about how human rights and fishing come together. Learn more at https://www.tenkarausa.com/myportfolio/manzanar-fishing-club/…

Tenkara in Salt? A Conversation with Henry Barber + The River Network 1:37:09

Tenkara is a mountain stream method of fly-fishing, that uses a tenkara rod, line and fly. But, the tenkara rod is also a tool that people all over the world are now using in their own unique way, such as in salt water. To learn more about how people are using tenkara rods, Daniel visited the coast of Maine to fish with Henry Barber, a renowned rock climber who has been using Tenkara USA rods for catching striped bass on the surf, in coastal rivers and from rocks on the coast. After a couple of days of fishing, they sat down by a fire and discussed the experience. And, in the second part of the episode Daniel has a conversation with Nicole Silk, president of the River Network, to learn more about what this cool non-profit has been doing to help protect and restore our rivers.

Short Cast: Garbage 12:41

12:41

As fly anglers we are failing at caring for our environment. Although fly-fishing is supposed to bring us closer to our environment and open our eyes to our impacts on it, we continue consuming a mind-boggling amount of plastic and taking actions that are not aligned with our conservation ethos. 80,000 tonnes of plastic are estimated to have gathered at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (the largest, but 1 of 5 areas in the planet's oceans where most garbage accumulates), source: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-43490235 This plastic all starts somewhere, and we need to drastically reduce our consumption of it. In this episode we'd like to make a plea for the community of fly-anglers to be more conscious about our impact on the environment. There are some super simple and immediate steps everyone can take that will help: - Use reusable water bottles! Whether at events or fishing outings, have large jugs of water and refill your bottle/cup. The "convenience" of disposable water bottles isn't worth it. - Choose reusable or at least compostable/ paper products rather than plastic/styofoam for your events and trips. - Don't leave your car idling because you need a few extra minutes of air conditioning or to charge your phone (I have seen both of these) - Don't use the straw your server left on the table! Trust me, your cup won't kill you.... This list is just a few things we could start doing immediately...they won't really inconvenience you much and are easy to do. I'd love it if you shared your thoughts with people organizing events that you know, your fishing guide, or just be aware of your own habits. We can all do much better!…

What is Tenkara? Part 2 33:11

acum 7 years33:11

33:11

While the question of what really is tenkara probably was never debated in Japan, it has been a heated discussion topic in online communities. The simple definition of tenkara is pretty straight forward: a rod, line and fly. But, things start getting more complicated when adaptations get introduced to this ages old method of fly-fishing with a rich history. You see, tenkara is its own method of fishing. And, while anyone can use a tenkara rod in the way they choose, I believe it may be good to understand where tenkara came from and how it is practiced by the Japanese anglers that have kept the method alive. Why? Because that's the best way to keep fly-fishing simple. Listen to the episode for some thoughts by Daniel on what is tenkara and whether it really matters to know.

As more people take up fly-fishing through tenkara it is important that we follow some best-practices when catching and releasing fish. In this Short Cast episode Daniel discusses some simple best-practices we need to keep in mind when releasing fish to ensure they live a healthy life after being released. Best practices: 1) Bring fish in quickly 2) Minimize handling of fish (using barbless hooks and a net help tremendously) 3) Wet your hand before touching a fish 4) Keep it wet and in the water as much as possible (please do not place a fish on dry ground for photos) 5) Do not squeeze fish when handling it 6) Release a fish with it facing the current and letting it go under its own power when it is ready.
