Honoring Chicago Architecture with Eleanor Esser Gorski

Celebrating its 60th anniversary this month, the Chicago Architecture Center's mission is to spotlight why design matters, through youth education, civic advocacy, exhibitions and more. Known worldwide for their spectacular river boat tours — rated the best in the nation by both USA Today and TripAdvisor — the CAC remains one of the largest non-profit cultural organizations in the city, attracting over 500,000 patrons annually. As CEO/President of the organization, and a licensed architect with over 25 years experience in historic preservation and urban planning, Eleanor Esser Gorski explains today how she's made equity and community central to her career, and how the CAC is powered by hundreds of passionate volunteers. Plus, why Chicago is known iconically around the globe as The City of Architecture. Full video of this episode is available at http://ozinga.com/podcasts [http://ozinga.com/podcasts].

Influencing the Influential with Salvi Media

To entrepreneurs and brothers Chris and Will Salvi, the CEO should be the most influential person at any particular company. And with their Emmy®-award winning YouTube program The CEO Series — through their media brand Executive House — they've worked to prove this theory by humanizing the C-suite. Via in-depth conversations with the heads of Goodyear, Wintrust, Morningstar, Potbelly and more, the duo have not only bolstered their own content agency in Salvi Media, but have created a worldwide network of elite thought leaders from the ground up. On today's episode with Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga, the Salvis detail how playing Notre Dame football in front of 80,000 people prepped them to go one-on-one with some of the most powerful people in business. Plus, how authenticity breeds more customer loyalty than any spreadsheet can show. Full video of this episode is available at http://ozinga.com/podcasts [http://ozinga.com/podcasts].

Movie Magic with Classic Cinemas CEO Chris Johnson

A family-owned theater company since 1978 -- with over 140 screens across the Midwest -- Classic Cinemas has built their reputation on restoring iconic theaters and providing a memorable moviegoing experience at an affordable price. That investment in already-existing infrastructure and enhancing customer satisfaction has paid off, bringing more patrons through their doors annually than the Chicago Cubs, revitalizing once-vacant suburban downtowns in the process. Today, in conversation with Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga, second-generation owner Chris Johnson details his journey from usher to CEO, and his steadfast dedication to service and hospitality.
