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.

In this episode, Lauren and Lauren discuss her entry into the sport as a curious mid-packer seeking adventure and experience, to one of the fastest women in the U.S. in the 100-mile and 24-hour formats. We discuss her experience at the 2024 Desert Solstice in detail, including the incredible women's field who pushed each other to great heights - claiming 4 of the top 5 podium spots and challenging each other down to the very last minute!

Lauren recalls that the U.S. women were so competitive that within the last hour of the race, the top 3 (including herself, Meg Eckert, and Marisa Lizak) were all on the same LAP, within 400meters of each other in the final push!
