On a December night in 1978, Courtney Lund O'Neil's mother, teenaged Kim Byers, saw her friend Rob Piest alive for the last time. At the end of his shift at the pharmacy where they both worked, fifteen-year-old Rob went outside to speak to a contractor named John Wayne Gacy about a possible job.That night Rob became Gacy's final victim; his body was later found in the Des Plaines River. Kim's testimony, along with a receipt belonging to her found in Gacy's house, proving that Rob had been there, would be pivotal in convicting the serial killer who assaulted and killed over thirty young men and boys.Though she grew up far from Des Plaines, Courtney has lived in the shadow of that nightmare, keenly aware of its impact on her mother. In search of deeper understanding and closure, Courtney and Kim travel back to Illinois. Postmortem transforms their personal journey into a powerful exploration of the ever-widening ripples generated by Gacy's crimes. From the 1970s to the present day, his shadow extends beyond the victims' families and friends—it encompasses the Des Plaines neighborhood forever marked by his horrific murders, generations of the victims' families and friends, those who helped arrest and convict him, fandom communities, and many others.Layered and thought-provoking, Postmortem is a complex story of loss and violence, grief and guilt, and the legacy that remains long after a killer is caught.

Hello leader, welcome back to the Fierce Factor Podcast! I'm elated to have you join me from my gorgeous hotel room in Laguna Beach, CA. I've taken a few days to soak in the ocean's serenity and strategize for the second half of 2024. This mid-year pause is crucial for reflecting on our achievements, reevaluating priorities, and honing in on our future objectives. In this episode, I dive into the essential practice of recalibrating and strategic planning. We'll discuss my insights on evaluating new business growth, reinvesting in clients, and refining team productivity. I'll also share my personal journey of architecting my next hire's role and revisiting my success blueprint to ensure I'm focusing on what truly matters. Plus, if you missed last week's announcements, we have exciting opportunities lined up: Join our free strategic planning masterclass, “The Second Half,” on June 14. Attend my dinner presentation, “From Business Owner to Visionary Leader,” in Des Plaines, IL, on June 20. Contact your Revision rep for tickets. Grab your free copy of my new ebook, “The Diary of a Female Entrepreneur” Today's episode addresses a topic close to my heart: overcoming the fear of others' opinions. Inspired by recent client conversations and my own reflections, I'll explore how this fear impacts our creativity and growth, and share practical steps to break free from it. We'll uncover the truths behind why we care about others' opinions, how this worry can stagnate our success, and the empowering realization that not caring can actually make people care more about what we have to say. Keep striving, keep growing, and most importantly, keep being unapologetically you. Thank you for tuning in, and I'll chat with you at the same place, same time next week!

On December 11th, 1978, a 15-year-old boy disappeared after finishing work at a drugstore in Des Plaines, Illinois. Law enforcement was soon on the case and two days later, a search warrant was executed at a family home in the suburbs. But what investigators uncover in the coming weeks and months is beyond their wildest and most grotesque nightmares, as the public is left aghast when one of the country's most infamous and prolific serial killers is exposed. Someone who killed not just Robert Jerome Piest, but at least 32 other boys and young men. Including 18-year-old Matthew Bowman, the uncle of Megan, one of two First Degree sources interviewed for these episodes. In part 2, a new voice joins the conversation in the form of attorney and author Karen Conti, who represented Gacy in his final death penalty appeal and wrote a book about her experience.

Dean's Chat Co-hosts, Dr. Jeffrey Jensen and Dr. Johanna Richey are joined by Dr. Jeffrey Baker, DPM, a podiatric physician and surgeon at the Weil Foot & Ankle Institute practicing in Lincoln Park, Chicago area. Dr. Baker graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts in 1992 with his degree in Athletic Training and Cardiovascular Health and Exercise. Dr. Baker completed his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine at Kent State University- Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine and went on to do his 3-year surgical residency at St. Mary Hospital in Hoboken, New Jersey. He completed a 1-year Fellowship in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery at The Weil Foot and Ankle Institute in Des Plaines, Illinois.  During high school and college, he was a varsity soccer player and still enjoys playing with his German team! Tune in to hear his perspective on sports medicine and why Fellowship was important to him. Dr. Baker is current faculty for the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center Podiatric surgical residency program in Chicago, IL and the Regional Chief Medical Officer with Balance Health. Join us, as we discuss “all things podiatric medicine”, including discussions on student etiquette, awkward interactions or conflicts on externships, various business structures podiatrists can consider, as well as involvement with professional organizations such as the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Dr. Baker shares insights about his background in athletic training and podiatric medicine, including his educational journey and experience in surgical residency and fellowship programs. Tune in to learn more about Dr. Baker's expertise in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery at the Weil Foot and Ankle Institute in Lincoln Park, Chicago area. One of the key points discussed in the podcast episode is the trend toward more specialized fellowships in podiatry. Dr. Jeff Baker highlighted the importance of fellowships in providing opportunities for subspecialization within the field of podiatry. He mentioned that fellowships are a way to further specialize and gain additional training in specific areas of interest, such as research, reconstructive surgery, sports medicine, limb lengthening, and deformity correction. Dr. Baker shared his personal experience of completing a fellowship in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery at the Weill Foot and Ankle Institute. He emphasized how his fellowship training allowed him to subspecialize in deformity correction and limb lengthening, which has become his area of expertise. This specialized training has enabled him to provide specialized care to patients requiring these specific treatments. Furthermore, Dr. Baker discussed the benefits of fellowships in podiatry, such as providing opportunities for in-depth training, exposure to advanced techniques, and access to specialized resources. He also mentioned that fellowships offer a pathway for podiatrists to enhance their skills, knowledge, and expertise in a particular area of interest, ultimately leading to better patient care outcomes. Overall, the podcast episode highlighted the growing trend towards more specialized fellowships in podiatry, offering podiatrists the opportunity to subspecialize and excel in specific areas within the field. This trend reflects the evolving nature of podiatric medicine and the importance of continuous learning and specialization to meet the diverse needs of patients. Dr. Jeff Baker also discusses the trend of podiatrists joining supergroups, highlighting the advantages of this practice. One significant benefit is the increased opportunities for insurance contracts. By being part of a larger group, podiatrists can negotiate better terms with insurance companies, allowing them to expand their patient base and increase revenue. Supergroups offer better marketing capabilities. By pooling resources and expertise, podiatrists in a supergroup can implement more effective marketing strategies to attract patients. This can lead to increased visibility in the community, higher patient volume, and ultimately, better financial stability for the practice. Dr. Jensen, Dr. Richey, and Dr. Baker highlight how The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) plays a significant role in supporting students. ACFAS offers various opportunities and support for students, including funding for research projects and involvement in regional activities. Student members of ACFAS have the chance to receive financial support for their research endeavors. The regions within ACFAS provide financial assistance to students whose manuscripts or posters are accepted for presentation at the annual scientific conference.  Additionally, ACFAS encourages student engagement by providing opportunities to participate in regional activities. Students can benefit from networking with professionals in the field, gaining insights into the inner workings of the organization, and expanding their knowledge and skills. The involvement in regional activities allows students to interact with experienced foot and ankle surgeons, fostering mentorship opportunities and professional growth. https://explorepodmed.org/ Dean's Chat Website Dean's Chat Episodes Dean's Chat Blog Why Podiatric Medicine?  Become a Podiatric Physician https://lelandjaffedpm.com https://higherlearninghub.com

Let's ask the question: Are the Cubs truly investing in 2024? Why can't you develop players AND spend money simultaneously, especially given the state of the NL Central and big market resources? We breakdown the mindset of Jed Hoyer, Craig Counsell's strengths possibly being a crutch, and more. Plus: Pat Hughes tops the Chicago media power rankings.

Every year on the evening of Dec. 11, hundreds of thousands of Catholics and other pilgrims walk to Des Plaines to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12. People from all over travel by car, horseback or foot to visit the shrine, which holds the only authorized replica of the painting from the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Host Jacoby Cochran talks to Father Esequiel Sanchez to learn more about the significance of the shrine and to Cynthia Alanis, whose family has led a pilgrimage to the northwest suburb from Ravenswood for over 20 years.  Did you hear?

This week, Gov. JB Pritzker paused and then officially shut down construction of a tent camp for new arrivals in Brighton Park citing environmental concerns. City Hall must now propose a new location to house thousands of migrants. Both offices blamed the other with the Johnson administration blaming unclear state environmental standards and Pritzker's office arguing city officials failed to engage the state's environmental protection agency. South Side Weekly's Chima "Naira" Ikoro and the Tribune's Jake Sheridan are here to talk about the fallout. Plus, we discuss Mayor Brandon Johnson's plan to reopen two city-run mental health clinics and preview next week's pilgrimage to the Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine in Des Plaines.  We've also got great weekend events for you including: SSW Community Hoops, Love & Nappyness Concert, and Pocket Con Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
