  • Olympic Bronze to Chicago Grit: Nate “The Snake” Jones | From Cabrini-Green to the 1996 Olympics
    Jan 23 2026

    From the Cabrini-Green housing projects of Chicago to the Olympic stage in Atlanta, this episode of Chicago Blue Print sits down with boxing legend Nate “The Snake” Jones.

    Nate breaks down his journey from the streets to the ring, winning back-to-back National Golden Gloves titles (1994 & 1995), earning Olympic Bronze in the 1996 Heavyweight division, and later turning professional with a record of 18 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. He speaks candidly about the real business of boxing, the sacrifices people don’t see, and the hard decision to retire in 2002 due to health issues involving diminished reflexes and memory.

    This is not a highlight reel — it’s the real blueprint: discipline, survival, legacy, and knowing when to walk away.

    If you care about Chicago history, Olympic boxing, or real-life lessons from a man who lived it, this episode is for you.

  • YOUR VOICE YOUR SCHOOL INSIDE CHICAGO 2026 LSC ELECTIONS
    Jan 12 2026

    Who really has power over Chicago’s public schools?
    In this episode of Chicago BluePrint, we break down the 2026 Local School Council (LSC) Elections and why they matter more than most people realize.

    We’re joined by Myra Winding, Assistant Director for Chicago’s Local School Councils (LSC), who explains what LSCs actually do, who can run, how much time it really takes, and why everyday parents and community members—not politicians—help shape the future of Chicago schools.

    This episode cuts through the confusion and myths so you can clearly understand:

    • What Local School Councils are and why they matter
    • How much real power LSC members actually have
    • Who’s eligible to run (no education background required)
    • The real time commitment for parents and community members
    • How to get involved—even if you’re not ready to run
    • Key deadlines for the March 18, 2026 LSC election

    If you care about education, community leadership, and having a real voice where decisions are made, this episode is for you.

    📌 Election Date: March 18, 2026
    📌 Theme: Run. Serve. Lead.
