“We’re thrilled to partner with WGN Radio on this new podcast,” states Steve Johnston, President of Second City Works. “Our success as a business is due in large part to our passion for interesting connections and dialogues. We operate from a place of endless curiosity, whether with our client partners or with other thought leaders. This podcast is the perfect example of how we approach the world.”
WGN Radio VP of Programming Todd Manley said, “Most conversations about business and innovation are overloaded with talking points, but Kelly has a charm that unleashes the magic within inventive minds. We can’t wait to start this audio adventure with Second City Works.”
