You're Not Qualified - A Podcast

Did you know that Germany is reinstating citizenship for descendants of those impacted by the holocaust? Jeff Nosanov is making a film about it, Article 116 - Beyond Citizenship.

Of course, there are no amends that can be made to make up for the atrocities of that time period. However, the nation is expressing regret in the way they can and we talk all about it in this interview. Join Courtney and Jeff as they talk about parallels between WWII and the current war in Ukraine, making a documentary with literally no experience, and ways we can all get closer to our ancestry. Also maybe not ever having children because then I can't be number one anymore (I'm selfish it's okay). This is a must-listen episode.

Let's go make that film.

Did you know that penguins sweat? I didn't either until I listened to The Sweaty Penguin, a feature PBS Podcast, where Ethan Brown talks all about why penguins are sweaty. (Disclaimer: penguins aren't actually sweaty it is a play on the impacts of climate change, but I think you probably got that, eh?)

Join Courtney and Ethan as they chat all things podcasting, climate change, and believing in yourself and what you bring to the table so much that you go after your dreams full steam ahead (but make that steam from renewable energy sources, please and thank you). If you want to start your own podcast and have a great idea, this is the episode for you!

A stack of cash and an entrepreneur walk into a bar...

There's many different avenues that bad joke can go - though, let's control the narrative.

Money is a difficult topic, and it can be difficult to get right. You deserve to feel and be wealthy, and not just monetarily. With chasing dreams and going after your goals (you know, the ones you aren't traditionally qualified for) often comes money - and that money could trigger guilt. Don't let it control you. Let's tackle all things money together, with Paje Rey, who is on a mission to shift the culture one home at a time by ending unnecessary pain and baggage related to money.

Let's get rich.

How does a polar bear become a captain? Well, I am not sure but Alan Hesse, creator of the "The Adventures Of Captain Polo" graphic novel series could tell us. Join Courtney as she chats with Alan - they cover investing in yourself as an entrepreneur and mistakes to avoid when just starting out, trusting in yourself to pursue what you believe is right, polar bear adventures in Brazil, and the importance of polling experts (plus so much more). Graphic novels are an amazing way to teach children (and adults) about climate change - even if you aren't a climate change expert. Let's talk about it.

The world of job applications and selling yourself is changing. You no longer need 10 years of doing exactly one thing in order to receive an excellent job opportunity, or personally grow to the next level. Transferrable skills transend roles and industries - if you are only "qualified" for two bullet points in a job description, transferable skills and storytelling can get you in front of a hiring manager. Listen to discover how.

Join Courtney and Asha, author of "Skills: The Common Denominator", as they talk about having huge goals and understanding how to achieve them through skills, selling yourself to hiring managers, networking like a boss, and robots that deliver pizza.

That anxiety monster that shows up sometimes - maybe you named him Bill? - is there for a reason and should be welcomed, rather than shunned. I know, what?! I mean it.

In this incredible episode, Courtney chats with Caren Bright, founder, entrepreneur, former executive director, and current trauma coach for high-performing women. They talk about quieting the messages of doubt around you, using your intelligence and certifications to get to the next level, stepping into your purpose in the world, overcoming poverty and trauma, and being kind to your anxiety monster. This episode is really very incredible and I hope it serves you.

Every limiting belief is bound to trauma; let's overcome.

Join Courtney as she chats with Dylan Atkinson about training rescue dogs so that they have a much better chance of finding their forever homes, Pokemon trading card vending machines, NFTs for good, his life goal of saving 1000 dogs and how you can help, and opinions about off-leash dogs.

What do we all have in common as humans? We need to drink water to survive. Did you know that plastic water bottle pollution is a big problem? You probably do. And we aren't powerless in the solutions.

Join Courtney as she chats with the founder and inventor of HydroFlask, Travis Rosbach. They talk about creating and building a product brand with no MBA (or any degree, for that matter); the need for more inclusion and less gatekeeping in the outdoors; capitalism, its prominence, and how that fits into environmentalism; and of course drag queens. This is a fun and serious episode all wrapped into one. Grab a beer from your reusable growler and join us!
