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.

Automating Quality Assurance for Customer Support - Alex Marantelos (Co-Founder, Intryc) 33:51

33:51

In this episode of Building The Future Of, I'm speaking with Alex Marantelos, co-founder and CEO of Intryc. Intryc uses AI to automate quality assurance for customer support. Consumer software companies handle millions of support tickets annually and must continuously evaluate the performance of their support agents. However, this is largely a manual process, and QA teams are often only able to review 4-5% of tickets. This creates the risk of negative interactions going unnoticed, potentially leading to churn and non-compliance. Intryc's AI can evaluate 100% of tickets and extract customer insights in real time. Intryc was founded in 2023 and is part of YC S24. Check out Intryc's website: https://intryc.com Connect with Alex: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmarantelos Timestamps: (00:00) Alex's background, his co-founders and the inspiration behind Intryc (06:01) The problem Intryc solves and how the product works (09:22) Who within a company uses their product (10:59) Their latest feature: real-time customer insights (14:17) The difference between being an employee vs. being a founder (16:07) Building the MVP quickly (17:00) The importance of testing for willingness to pay and learning to handle rejection (20:24) The quality Alex looks for in team members (22:29) The feeling of community within YC (23:58) Alex's experience and lessons learned during the accelerator (27:14) Where Alex thinks the customer support tech industry is headed (29:05) The vision for Intryc (32:20) How to learn more about Intryc and get in touch with Alex --- This show is brought to you by Fivecaster - we help B2B companies launch and grow a podcast.
