Educational inequality is a fact. Most of us know the bleak statistics, but despite our best intentions, we don’t address it. We resign ourselves to the status quo, convinced of our powerlessness.   

You will quickly learn that Brian Floriani  is not most people: how many of us would trade in private jets for weathered books?   

In speaking with Brian, we learn about his remarkable plunge, and are reminded, that sometimes all it takes, is one person with a crazy dream to make the impossible, possible.  As Brian tells us: when the "why" is important enough, the “how” is irrelevant.

Idioms, mantras, inspirational phrases: they are everywhere, passing through our consciousness with little effect.  We may pause for a moment, briefly reflecting upon its meaning, before moving on, unchanged.  But once in a while, we come across a phrase so extraordinary, we cannot simply move on.  We are changed, and our life must change with us.   

For Rich Alapack, it was four words: We All Live Here. A simple phrase on an ordinary night was all it took for Rich to leave everything he knew. Join us as we learn how these four words changed Rich’s life, and consequently, impacted thousands of lives throughout Chicago.

We are told that we can have it all: the high paying job, the 2.5 children, the impeccably kept home. But what happens when having it all means waking up in a cold sweat at 3:30 am, not knowing which way is up; when your days become so consumed with endless tasks, you can't remember what it was like to sit quietly. In this podcast, we explore the stressors of modern-day society and learn that slowing down can mean the difference between life and death.
