Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

A few weeks ago we host a little event on Post Fashion Show Success. Here's what we learned: You just produced or participated in an amazing fashion show. Your designs were well received and the accolades keep coming in, but once the thrill is over….What happens next? It may seem daunting at first and difficult to navigate what the next steps are to convert your show’s success into meaningful results. I'm putting together an event that is structured with small group discussions to dig deeper into this topic. In a classroom style-setting, my hope is to highlight the best ideas and come up with actionable items and takeaways for you to leave feeling connected and inspired. There will be groups of designers, models, photographers, production assistants, influencers and fashion enthusiasts. The Chicago fashion scene is thriving with talent and our goal is to give you the tools to take your work and your brand further. Rachel Jimenez Penca, the Founder of Rachel J Styling will be facilitating the discussions and sharing her first hand knowledge and experience with brands and the many facets of the fashion industry from personal to celebrity styling over the past 15+ years. Rachel is also a Professor of Fashion Styling at Columbia College Chicago.…

Hi everyone! It’s me, J.P. Lamp, your friendly neighborhood Happy Hour enthusiast and yes, the moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here! My quest to find the best happy hours here in Chicago. Acceptable hours 4 - 6 is the standard Do they offer it on Fridays / weekends? Do they have a Social hour outside of 4 - 6? Multiple options of food Are things shareable? Are menu options the same size or smaller portions for less money? Can you have a well rounded meal for happy hour? Are there pairable items that are easy for the restaurant to upsell? Is it just $ off the menu options prices - just discounted or actually different offerings? Multiple drink options Is it only house wine + domestics? Is it $ off cocktails? Are there specialty cocktails for HH? Half off wine BOTTLES and you win Service Did someone make sure you wanted to put in one last order before HH ended? Was the HH menu mentioned to you? Is it easy to get a seat? Will I Come Back? How was the overall experience? Did the menu entice me to come eat here for a full price meal? Will I come back for the happy hour? Based on your expectations / anticipation, was it worth it?…

As a kid, I have fond memories of grocery shopping with my grandmother and getting a coconut or custard bao as a treat from her. While studying abroad in Hong Kong, I would often buy baos at a local bakery for lunch. Baos are such an amazingly easy, to-go food. What if they were filled with other tasty ingredients besides the traditional flavors? ... and so began Bau Bao Treats!…

Journey Through Our Dietary Past: An Evolutionary Dining Experience Dinner Party It including these six themes: Gatherer Early Pliocene | 5 mya Scavenger Gatherer Late Pliocene | 3.5 mya Hunter Gatherer Early Paleolithic | 2.0 mya Food Producer Neolithic Revolution | 15,000 years ago Food Consumer Industrial Revolution to Present | 1700s – Present Future of Food Many people often ask what we are supposed to eat, but Dr. Schindler suggested we instead focus on the question: “How should we eat?”, how we are not designed to eat the same foods as other animals, what foods nourish and satiate us, how ancestral eating required the use of all of our senses, and how the modern industrial food system stripped this power from us. So this got me thinking more about the connection we have to our food and how it could be fun to create a similar type of dining experience. It may not be as intricately planned, but it could still be pretty cool. If you’re wondering what an ancestral consists of, I’m referring to what people ate before modern agriculture, meaning that it will be animal-based.
