Podcast Description
In My Hometown is where we get into the business of our neighbors. Each episode spotlights the people who live and work next door - entrepreneurs, artists, leaders, and everyday people shaping our communities. Host Jamie Stein sits down for thoughtful conversations about what they do, why they do it, their passions, purpose, challenges, and more. Because the most inspiring stories aren't always on the front page - sometimes, they're happening right in your hometown.

From Playboy Bunny and nine-time Playboy cover model to one of Chicago’s most recognizable media personalities and society columnists, Candace Jordan has spent decades at the center of celebrity culture, media, fame, and reinvention.
In this episode of In My Hometown, Jamie and Pascal sit down with Candace for a ”candid” conversation about what really happened behind the scenes at Playboy, her time living in the mansion, Hef, the cultural shifts she’s witnessed, and why Chicago remains one of the greatest cities in America.
Candace also reflects on the choices that shaped her life, why saying ”yes” opened unexpected doors, and why she believes every chapter — even the messy ones — teaches you something valuable.
It’s a conversation about reinvention, confidence, fame, aging, and embracing life without regret.
