Description

Segment 1: Tom Gimbel, job expert and founder of LaSalle Network, joins John to talk about people discounting the value of relationships, and why authentic relationships are best built in-person rather than Zoom.





Segment 2: Philippe Weiss, President, Seyfarth at Work, joins John to talk about what executives need to know about effectively responding to a critical organizational crisis.





Segment 3: Tom Fortino, Founder and Principal, Alpha Wealth Group and host of “The Alpha Wealth Hour” on WGN Radio, joins John Williams to talk about how September is typically a weak month for stocks, the strong market performance in August, what has been holding the market up, what we can expect from this Friday’s labor report, and if he thinks the Fed will cut rates later this month.





Segment 4: Keenan Thanprathit, Marketing Manager, Mendocino Farms, joins John Williams to talk about the Chicago launch (and first Midwest location) of Mendocino Farms, a new fast-casual restaurant opening in River North. Keenan explains what’s on the menu and how they separate themselves from other fast-casual restaurants.
