#16 - The Divorce Playlist w/ Maria Degillo
Thursday Feb 06, 2020
Thursday Feb 06, 2020
Hello Friends! This week I had the pleasure to sit and chat with Maria Degillo. Maria and I met through our 9-5's, and I shortly after one of our first real conversations, I was certain I had to have her on the podcast. She is an amazingly dynamic and colorful personality, much like myself, and I knew we would have some great conversation.
Also, she revealed to me that she had a divorce playlist, even though she and her husband were happily married, in the event they should ever get divorced. I was intrigued at the prospect, and asked her if we could chat about it. We hit on a host of other topics too. This one is not to be missed!
Here is a link to the playlist on Spotify: Maria’s Divorce Playlist

#7 - Let's Talk About The Chicago Teachers Strike!
Thursday Oct 17, 2019
Thursday Oct 17, 2019
This week Dion (@Dionsmusica) talks about the upcoming Chicago Teachers Strike. Dion is a former educator, a former Chicago Public Schools teacher, and a former Chicago Teachers Union member, having taught 4 years in a public school setting, 2 of those in Chicago.
We didn't think it was fair to ask a teacher or a parent to put themselves in a compromising position, so Dion felt comfortable talking the strike, interspersing his own personal knowledge, being a part of the 2012 Chicago Public Schools strike.
In his own special way, Dion weaves his way through a variety of stories about his education experience, as well as talking about the importance of the sticking points of the CTU demands list. Definitely check out this unique perspective on Chicago schools and education.
They come up in the conversation, so be sure to check out The Civic Lab.
Be sure to RATE and REVIEW after listening.

Wednesday Sep 11, 2019
Hello friends!
This week DION (@Dionsmusica) chats with Obama Foundation Civic Leadership Corps fellow, activist, and entrepreneur OLUWASEYI SAM ADELEKE (@prgrssn).
The conversation covered so many bases, including: Puerto Rico, immigration, the current American political culture and systems, racism, black culture, the Obama Foundation Civic Leadership Corps, how America stacks up compared to other countries, "Real" Chicago, Toxic Masculinity, Sam's apparel business Progression with the Krown, the current environmental crisis, reparations, and Michelle Obama. We are talking some serious conversation here, with lots of laughs!
Also, apologies for the bumping noises. I wasn't able to monitor the audio while recording, and our bumping on the table was traveling to the microphone. Apologies. I will be cognizant of that in the future!
