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.

We’ve seen growing conversation around work culture, especially with the global shift toward a shorter workweek. Countries like the US, UK, and New Zealand have already piloted programs to explore the viability of a four-day workweek.

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Kurt Wee, CEO, Celligenics and Sriram Iyer, Founder & CEO of hrtech to find out.

US President Donald Trump ordered a pause to all military aid to Ukraine, turning up the heat on Mr Volodymyr Zelensky. This comes only days after an Oval Office blow-up with the Ukrainian President left the support of his country’s most important ally in doubt. The US is holding up all pending military assistance until Mr Trump determines Ukraine’s leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace. The administration will also review the aid to make sure it’s contributing to a solution to the conflict. How significant is this move to pause all military aid? Will the US eventually resume military aid to Ukraine, or is this a sign of a longer-term shift in policy? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with E meritus Professor Joseph A.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s meeting with US President Donald Trump ended in disaster last Friday before the world’s media at the White House over the war with Russia. The visit by Mr Zelensky was designed to help Ukraine convince the US not to side with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the invasion of Ukraine three years ago. Instead the Ukrainian leader disagreed sharply with Mr Trump and Vice-President JD Vance over the conflict. Mr Trump quickly took to Truth Social to accuse Mr Zelensky of disrespecting the United States. How does the new administration in Washington undermine Kyiv’s attempts to maintain Western support for its war effort? With the public fallout from this meeting, how might US-Ukraine relations be impacted in the future?
