LikedIn 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.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast , the brilliant businesspeople and billionaires that are currently running the country are driving the economy off a cliff; as Donald Trump’s approval ratings slide into net-negative territory at record speed, are we great again yet? Then our neighbors to the north get rightfully pissed at American voters for putting this madman back in the Oval Office -- this time with his North American imperial ambitions! We attempt to gently and politely remind them that more people voted for someone else than voted for Donald Trump. Sorry! Then, Denver’s Mayor, Mike Johnston , goes to Washington DC, and it goes a lot better than it could have, unless you’re a Republican ad maker. And finally we check in with a few of Colorado’s Republican Members of Congress to see how they’re handling the whole governing thing. Spoiler alert: Not well! But first, Dr. Sarah Wilson Sokhey of the University of Colorado joins us to talk Ukraine, Russia, and whether we’ve ever seen a President of the United States or an entire political party parrot the propaganda of a foreign adversary.…

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast , with less than two months to go until the biggest election of our lives, Kamalamentum is still picking up speed...or is it? The media, and apparently a decently large slice of the American electorate, are grading Donald Trump on a rollercoaster sized curve; we ask, 'Why the hell are they doing that?' Then, our newest segment, "Game of Groans," is back to try and figure out who the hell is actually running the Colorado GOP and (spoiler alert) we still don’t actually know. Republican Politicians? Fox News Anchors? Extremely online right wing trolls? Venezuelan Gangs? Who has really taken over an Aurora Apartment Complex and why the hell don’t we actually know the answer at this point? And we wrap up with some reporting on our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado, who is the clear personification of why competitive congressional districts are very good things to have. BUT FIRST, you know him as Colorado’s Senior United States Senator because he is Colorado’s Senior United States Senator! Michael Bennet is back on the pod to talk 2024, the child tax credit, and JD Vance.…

We break down the politics and a little bit of the policy from this very special session that was called to avoid an absolute fiscal calamity because of something like three schmucks and a checkbook. Also, one of the undisputed champions of legislative nuttery goes totally off the rails as one Republican Politician uses her social media account to go after one of her own kids’ teachers - yikes. Then we catch up on the VERY LONG list of ballot measures Colorado voters will be weighing in on in just a few weeks here; and we discuss a friend of the show’s courageous public struggle with mental health. But first we check in on the Two Colorado Republican Parties that apparently currently exist and we’ll let you know if white or black smoke appears from somewhere in Greenwood Village.…

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast , at least one of us is coming to you live-ish from Chicago where Democrats are producing a convention full of joy, hope, optimism, and more than a few Colorado cameos to counter the GOP convention that was about…hell, who knows? We've got plenty of non-DNC stuff to discuss, including new fundraising numbers for the Colorado Dems and GOP...and hoo boy can you just see the difference in enthusiasm right there. Congressperson Lauren Boebert is in her full "Nuh-uh" mode; and we check in with a VERY WEIRD GUY running for the state legislature who claims that he has “studied women” and is therefore more qualified than his Democratic incumbent opponent...who is an actual woman with a literal degree in Women’s Studies.…

Send us a message! Really! This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast , just when you thought this election couldn’t possibly get any more insaner, Donald Trump survived an actual assassination attempt; if you’re just waking up from a coma, yes, he’s about to officially be renominated as the GOP presidential candidate. We check in on the RNC convention in Milwaukee Wisconsin where Trump picked J.D. Vance, a dude barely one year older than Ian, to be his Vice Presidential running mate for a "Double MAGA"ticket. With pressure still sort of building on President Biden to step aside and let someone else take his spot at the top of the Democratic ticket, we check in on Colorado’s delegation to see how Democrats are handling this moment. Next we look across the aisle at our friends in the Colorado GOP, who, despite it all, continue to beclown themselves in front of Colorado, the country, and the entire universe. Oh! And their candidate in the only remotely competitive pickup district for them this year, Gabe-ish Evans, is surrounded by liars and hypocrites.…

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast , the Colorado Republican Party continues it’s absolutely undefeated effort to ensure permanent electoral dominance by the Colorado Democratic Party, this time by saying every single Coloradan should pull their kids out of public schools; we report on how that’s going for them. Democrat of the Decade, Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams, is also doing his part by draining the money from the party he runs for his own personal political gain! Also, we check in with our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado; our first (but not only!) most competitive election; and a primary debate in Ken Buck’s old district. ALSO, Donald J Trump is a convicted felon!!! In case you haven’t heard, the 45th president of the United States of America was convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for paying hush money to a porn star to try and keep an affair he had secret during the 2016 election. Of course, Republicans are demanding his resignation from the presidential nomination and will be replacing him with someone who didn’t do all of that...just kidding!…
