The Icarus Complex audio drama is the story of a young black man's journey through life and [mostly] love. It is set in the 90's, so expect that sweet, sweet nostalgia of simpler times that we just had no clue were simpler but I promise if I can go back I will appreciate them more. Promise! Take me back!2022-04-141h 02You're Not Qualified - A PodcastYou're Qualified - To Be A CFO and Podcast FounderI have a little secret for you: talent, skills, and success are not defined by a college degree - they aren't even always formed by a college degree. Let that sink in. But before you throw your $100k plus degree paper out the window and scream at me, hear me out. A degree can absolutely help you. If college isn't the path for you, you can still be successful without it. Kevin Palmieri joins Courtney today on the 22nd episode of the You're Not Qualified podcast. He is co host, founder, and CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of Next Level...2022-04-0759 minYou're Not Qualified - A PodcastYou're Qualified - To Work In Artificial Intelligence Technology (Part 2)Artificial Intelligence (Ai) is making waves in the world and marine life is in a better situation because of it (not because of the 'waves' but also because of the waves, ya know?) Terrestrial life is pretty happy about it, too. Are you sitting there thinking that Ai seems like a pretty cool industry to be in but you have no business being there? Well then this is the episode for you because you're wrong.
Fact: we can't afford to filter out ideas in Ai or Conservation from people of non-traditional backgrounds. Let's talk about it.

Let's talk about it.
Join Courtney and Tanya Stere for the 20th (!!!) episode of the You're Not Qualified Podcast. Tanya does not have an AI background - she has a technical writing background and is definitely traditionally not qualified and we get deep into that. Tanya works at WildMe, an AI Tech Conservation company focused on helping those studying species' conservation work more efficiently and effectively together, and...2022-03-241h 06You're Not Qualified - A PodcastYou're Qualified - To Produce Your Own Documentary FilmDid 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...2022-03-171h 08You're Not Qualified - A PodcastYou're Qualified - To Host A Successful Feature PodcastDid 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?)

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...2022-03-031h 11You're Not Qualified - A PodcastYou're Qualified - To Be A Graphic Novelist and Climate Change EducatorHow does a polar bear become a captain?

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.

Imposter syndrome is a very real phenomenon that stops people from believing in themselves and taking action to contribute to the world in amazing ways. We all need to bring our unique interests and talents to the table to make a positive difference in the world - you don't need to be the top expert in your field and you don't need to have that perfect degree.
