There was a big shakeup in the Chicago Public Schools earlier this year: Barbara Byrd Bennett was replaced as CEO amid an investigation into a no-bid contract given to her former employer…and Mayor Emanuel replaced a series of board members. One of those board members joins us today to talk about his tenure, and his suggestions for current and future leadership at the district. We’ve been hearing a lot about the Chinese economy and what it means for global financial markets, but what could it mean for home prices here in Chicago? Crain’s Chicago Business real estate reporter Dennis Rodkin is in to talk about it. And…are you happy with your body? Most people say they aren’t. Later on in the show we sit down with Danielle Pinnock. She turned a study about body image into a one-woman show.
