The Pope, The Bears, and The Business of Chicago Development
Meredith O'Connor has helped presidents, pro sports teams and the private sector start their next chapter, as vice chairman of international site selection and economic incentive services for JLL -- working with more Fortune 1000 companies than any other commercial real estate firm. On behalf of some of the world's largest corporations and global organizations, Meredith has found creative solutions and cost efficiencies for clients like Toyota, Bank of America, United Airlines, the Barack Obama Foundation and the Chicago Bears. This week, in conversation with Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga, Meredith shares why all the incentives in the world can't make a bad location good, and how she responded when Pope Leo himself asked her where the Chicago Bears are headed.

A Front Row Seat to History with Rob Johnson
As one of the most trusted faces in Chicago television for more than two decades, Rob Johnson has conducted thousands of interviews, learning what separates messages that inspire action from those that fall flat. Now, he's helping business leaders apply those same lessons. As the author of Overcommunicate: A Guide for Business Executives and Aspiring Leaders (https://www.amazon.com/Overcommunicate-Business-Executives-Aspiring-Leaders/dp/B0GWQ9XJNP/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2B2BZ2VW81JJK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I6kAlxBWaXM48tvrMKbzYL6JEmw0enBDpwGzlM-7ZFbGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.OdEAHTLKQ0U-iPQMkRs9fkNUJkQK0GDUuE1ZAEZWFHI&dib_tag=se&keywords=overcommunicate&qid=1785772805&sprefix=overcommunicat%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-1), he argues that the best CEOs don't just communicate—they ensure they're understood. Today, in conversation with Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga, we'll explore Rob's broadcast career, and how experience in the newsroom translates directly to the boardroom.
