PE GUY turned a Snapchat filter into millions of views and a seven-figure business. Host Devin Mathews (a real PE guy) conducts due diligence on Johnny Hilbrant Partridge's background, business model, and the wealthy towns he's taking on next. We sat down with Johnny in PE GUY's natural habitat -- a Winnetka, IL pool house to figure out how a goofy internet character became an oddly accurate and honest mirror of the private equity industry. Johnny grew up in Winnetka and now lives in Wellesley (two classic PE Guy towns). He went to New Trier (the affluent North Shore high school that inspired "Breakfast Club"), played water polo at the University of Denver, worked for the Ellen Degeneres Show, and the PE-backed Barry's, and Soul Cycle before creating the viral character. What started out as an Instagram reel to make his friends laugh is now generating millions of views from more than 500,000 followers. We go deep into the PE GUY universe. Catchphrases like "decent," "substantial," "due to my role," plus his three kids named Tarantino, Montauk, and EBITDA. Not to mention Wifey and Nanny's #1, #2, and #3. We also break down Johnny's revenue streams: Cameo, brand deals, appearances, and PE GUY swag. Then Johnny puts Devin under the microscope and asks, "Can private equity ever be stopped?"

For this final installment of interviews from Winnetka Music Festival, I spoke to Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist Vivian McConnell just after her set at this amazing local festival which took place June 19-20 on Chicago's North Shore.Vivian's solo project, V.V. Lightbody, is best known for its “flute-forward” lush compositions, and also known for her work synth pop project Valebol with noted Chicago drummer Daniel Villareal. Vivian is involved in numerous collaborations and lends her talents to a broad list of indie bands including Finom, Whitney, Fruit Bats, Elizabeth Moen and Rose Hotel, among others. V.V. Lightbody's third album is due for release in the Fall.In this fun convo between friends, Vivian shares with me her current evolution and mindset, and we discuss the importance of community in music, how her own DIY ethos has evolved, and the factors that have guided her in the growth of her now 10-year career. Vivian is thoughtful, grounded and super talented — and she holds a unique space in the firmament of Chicago indie artists.

This week's guest is Val Haller, Founder and Co-producer of Winnetka Music Festival, a local Chicago music fest celebrating its 10th Anniversary. The festival takes place this week, June 19-20 and features a stellar lineup with headliners Father John Misty, Trombone Shorty, Grace Potter and Futurebirds among other fantastic acts. Throughout her career in music, Val has embodied a vibrant can-do spirit. She founded Val's List in 2007 which seeks to connect “busy adults” with new music from emerging artists. It uncovered a wonderful niche of music lovers who were looking for something new— and it was a massive success! She then morphed her passion into Living Room shows, which then ultimately became one of the most successful local Chicago festivals when she founded Winnetka Music Festival in 2017. Now partnered with Space Evanston, Val continues to foster emerging young artists and to that end, Val has founded the Just Listen Foundation to lend financial support to young touring artists.Val's passion, enthusiasm, drive and commitment is truly inspiring.

Skip the banter: 00:05:44Long before the shooting in Winnetka, there were police calls, medical notes, and repeated concerns from people who felt something was wrong. Each response addressed the immediate problem, but none seemed to connect the larger pattern that was forming. Allison walks through the documentation step by step, highlighting the detail that makes the timeline feel harder to dismiss.Support us and become a Patron!

So many women in perimenopause find themselves asking the same confusing question: Should I stay on birth control, switch to menopause hormone therapy, try both, or do nothing at all? And why does it feel like everyone has a different answer?In this episode, we unpack why perimenopause can feel like a medical gray zone. Symptoms can be intense and unpredictable, hormone testing isn't always clear, and many women are told they're “too young” or “just stressed.” Add in social media opinions, antidepressants being prescribed first, and inconsistent medical guidance, and no wonder women feel lost.We break down the real science behind:• Birth control vs. Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT)• How doctors decide what to recommend• Whether you can transition directly from the pill to MHT• What realistic symptom relief looks like• How long adjustments actually take• What to do if spotting or symptoms continueWe also address the biggest myths, like:• “You can't be in perimenopause if you're on the pill.”• “You have to wait until your period stops to use hormones.”Plus, we shine a light on women who are often left out of the conversation:• Those with severe PMS or PMDD• Women in early menopause• Women after hysterectomy• Women wondering about testosterone, libido, brain fog & moodThis episode is about clarity, options, and informed choice. Perimenopause is not a failure of your body, and confusion around hormones is NOT your fault. You deserve education, thoughtful support, and individualized care, not guesswork or fear-based advice.If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. This conversation will help you understand what's really happening in your body and how to approach hormone decisions with confidence.Find Dr. Sarah here:Website: https://www.lumaniwellness.com/IG: drsarah_menopausemdStay connected to JFW:Watch on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jillfooswellness/videosFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillfooswellness/Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillfooswellnessGrab discounts on my favorite biohacking products: https://www.jillfooswellness.com/health-productsEnjoy 20% savings and free shipping at Fullscript for your favorite supplements by leading brands:https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/jillfooswellnessSubscribe to the JFW newsletter at www.jillfooswellness.com and receive your FREE Guide on How To Create Your Menopause Health Equation Ebook.

On September 8, 1860, the sidewheel steamer Lady Elgin collided with the schooner Augusta off Winnetka, Illinois, sending more than 300 passengers into the frigid waters of Lake Michigan. While the disaster became one of the deadliest shipwrecks in Great Lakes history, much of the blame focused on the Augusta.Branded reckless, cursed, and unlucky, the schooner soon earned a reputation as a pariah of the inland seas.This episode of End of the Road in Michigan traces the tangled story of the Augusta—its role in the tragedy, the bitter legal battles that followed, and the dark superstitions that dogged the vessel until its end. Was the Augusta truly cursed, or simply a scapegoat in the wake of unimaginable loss?

More from Winnetka, Illinois native Bill Hulseman, talking about his essay collection titled "six to carry the casket and one to say the mass: reflections on life, identity, and moving forward." Hulseman grew up in a Roman Catholic family where he was the youngest of ten children (and the youngest of seven sons). In this second interview, we talk about his dad's love of poetry, his mom's struggles with alcohol, and some of Hulseman's most important life experiences, including singing in the Boston Gay Men's Chorus.

I speak with Bill Hulseman, author of a collection of personal essays titled "six to carry the casket and one to say the mass: reflections on life, identity and moving forward." Hulseman grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Winnetka, Illinois- and eventually went into Catholic education as his profession - but did so as someone who happened to be gay. The essays gathered together in this book explore many facets of his childhood, his relationship to his parents, siblings and school mates, his evolving relationship to his religion and the Roman Catholic church, and the ways in which various facets of pop culture (e.g. television shows like 'Designing Women' or singers like Madonna) helped him develop a clearer sense of his own identity and his place in the world. And yes .... we also give the author a chance to explain the title of his book.

Lauded by KEEN ON favorites like Dave Eggers & Dale Maharidge, J. Malcolm Garcia might be the Studs Terkel of contemporary American literature. Having worked as a social worker with San Francisco's homeless community for 14 years, he then became an acclaimed journalist and winner of the Studs Terkel prize for writing about the American working classes. And now Garcia is publishing his first fiction, Out of the Rain, a novel about the people in a San Francisco homeless shelter. Garcia brings the wisdom of an experienced social worker and the eye of an prize winning writer to a problem which is the shame of wealthy American cities like San Francisco. J. Malcolm Garcia was born in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, IL. He attended Ripon College from 1975 to 1977. He transferred to Coe College in the fall of 1977 and graduated from Coe in May 1979. He wrote for The Coe Cosmos newspaper and was active in college theater. As a social worker, Garcia worked with homeless people in San Francisco's Tenderloin district for 14 years before he made the jump into journalism in 1997. He reported for The Kansas City Star newspaper from 1998 to 2009 when he began his freelance career. The tragedy of September 11th, 2001, gave him the opportunity to work in Afghanistan. Since then he has written on Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Chad, Haiti, Honduras, and Argentina among other countries. He is a recipient of the Studs Terkel Prize for writing about the working classes and the Sigma Delta Chi Award for excellence in journalism.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

The digital revolution has few more persistent critics than John (Rick) MacArthur, the legendarily outspoken publisher of Harper's Magazine. His skepticism about Silicon Valley, he confesses, came at the turn of the century when he overheard the gibberish sales talk from a rabble of start-up entrepreneurs in a San Francisco restaurant. In the quarter century since, MacArthur hasn't been shy to argue that the internet is killing not just our culture and economy, but also our democracy. His latest crusade is what he considers to be the disturbing impact of screens on our cognitive skills . Kids learn better on paper, he insists. Which may be why Harpers - in contrast with the Atlantic and the New Yorker - is first and foremost a print rather than an online magazine. John R. (Rick) MacArthur is president and publisher of Harper's Magazine and an award-winning journalist and author. Under his leadership, the magazine has received nineteen National Magazine Awards, the industry's highest recognition. He writes monthly columns for The Providence Journal and, in French, for Montreal's Le Devoir newspaper. His critically acclaimed first book, Second Front: Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War, won the Illinois ACLU's 1992 Harry Kalven Freedom of Expression award and was a New York Times notable book. His second book, The Selling of "Free Trade": NAFTA, Washington, and the Subversion of American Democracy, was published in 2000. He has also written You Can't Be President, published in 2008 and reissued in 2012 as The Outrageous Barriers to Democracy in America. L'Illusion Obama was published in 2012 in France and Canada. Mr. MacArthur grew up in Winnetka, Illinois, and graduated in 1978 from Columbia University with a B.A. in history. He lives with his wife and two daughters in New York City.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Women generally talk about what they see and feel during menopause. Symptoms like hot flashes, joint pain, and vaginal dryness grab our attention while our bone density silently slips away. Women can lose up to 20% of their spinal bone mass through the menopause transition. Thirty-five to 50 percent of women have low bone mass by age 50. Your lifetime risk of having a hip fracture is higher than breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine cancer combined. Thirty percent of women will die within a year of having a hip fracture. Yet, bone health still fails to grab the headlines it deserves. We want to stay strong and active into our older years, and that starts with maintaining healthy bones. This week we dive into all of it with osteoporosis and menopause expert Dr. Kristi DeSapri.Kristi DeSapri, MD, truly believes that women deserve to function at optimal health and are gatekeepers to their families' and communities' health. She is a board certified internist specializing in midlife women's health and is regarded as a national leader in the field of osteoporosis and menopause management. After fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic, she has worked in private practice and academic medicine including being director of the Northwestern Women's Bone Health program at the Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. She is the founding physician and owner of Bone and Body Women's Health, LCC a specialized midlife women's health practice in Winnetka, IL focused on consultation and management of perimenopause, menopause, osteoporosis, fracture prevention and treatment and sexual health.
