Pursue Your Passion podcast

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.

Teeg Stouffer is a storyteller and filmmaker. His business, Fascination Film Studio, tells the fascinating stories of ordinary people who shaped the world around us. But he’s a husband and father, Christ-follower, outdoorsman - and has done a lot of things in his career as he’s pursued his passion. It could be said that he’s made most of his living in media, marketing & events, but he’d say he’s a “multi-potentialite." He's been - most recently - a fishing lure salesman; he's worked for the Department of Homeland Security; he's founded a few for-profit companies and a couple of non-profit companies. He's been involved in real estate (and lost a lot of money that way) and he's been involved in famous events that people have heard of. He led the #1 retail grand opening team in the US, which had some of the biggest, splashiest grand openings in America over the past 10 years. He's been the voice of Mountain Dew and has been on staff at a church. My kind of guy!

#70 - Carlene Thissen - Woodstock and Back Again: A Musician's Tale 38:34

for 41 weeks siden38:34

38:34

Carlene Thissen is an American singer-songwriter who is the daughter of a generation with a deep desire to hand down peace and love to the "youngers": the Baby Boomers. She experienced firsthand some of the most captivating periods and moments in the realm of popular music, like Woodstock '69, when her path crossed with wonderful people to experience not only the music, awakening one morning at Woodstock to Joan Baez's voice, but the air of freedom and peace, and the feeling of having no fear of anything. After that experience, she turned into a working person and created a successful business. She stopped making music for 40 years, but deeply remembered the air of Woodstock. That changed when she got involved as a volunteer in the Immokalee Unincorporated Agricultural Community. From that catalyst event, she ended up working at the University of Florida’s research center, which inspired her to get a Master’s Degree in Latin American History, write a book based on her final thesis called “Immokalee’s Fields of Hope,” (based on the moving stories she gleaned from the Immokalee people she got to know), make a documentary based on the book, which needed music she decided to write and perform, even if she didn't know if she could. But she did. From then on, she could not stop writing songs to tell stories of people who are often overlooked, like farm workers, the homeless, and children who lost their parents. She doesn't want to leave with music sitting out there that could benefit people. Carlene's journey is not just about music, but also about the generational value music can bring, the stories that have brought her making music with roots in the first edition of Woodstock, and the work as a volunteer with immigrant communities, which also led her to advocate for compassionate immigration policy, and writing books on the stories she came across. Carlene recently shared a capella version of her beautiful new song, "Carry It On," and moved to be near Woodstock, where the energy she experienced caused her musical journey to take flight and where she will continue to perform.
