In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jonathan M. Gerber, MD; and Shyam A. Patel, MD, PhD, about a study they conducted investigating the use of immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a biomarker for early TP53 mutation identification in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Dr Gerber is a member of the faculty in the Department of Medicine at New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine; as well as the chief clinical officer of the NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center. Dr Patel is an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School; as well as a hematologist and oncologist at the UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester.  In our exclusive interview, Drs Gerber and Patel discussed the evaluation of p53 IHC as a surrogate biomarker for TP53-mutant MDS and AML. They shared how the presence of TP53 mutations in these diseases significantly worsens prognosis, necessitating urgent treatment. They also highlighted how IHC results are available within 48 to 72 hours. Gerber and Patel explained this study's design and patient population, as well as how IHC's inverse correlation with overall survival highlights its potential as an early biomarker, though it has lower sensitivity for certain mutations.

Send us a textIn this episode we talk to Liv Egholm, Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School, and Pia Gerber, Director of Freudenberg Stiftung, about philanthropy and democracy in Europe. Including:What is the core role of philanthropy within a democratic society, which differentiates it from either state or market provision? Can philanthropy be used to strengthen democracy, or is it inherently anti-democratic, because it offers a means for those with wealth to bypass the electoral system and exert unwarranted influence on public debate and public policy?Are there concerns about the influence of philanthropic “dark money” on politics in Europe? How do governmental attitudes towards philanthropy and civil society vary across Europe, and what implications does this have for democracy? What role can philanthropic funders play in addressing the challenges of political polarisation in Europe?What impact does the governance of philanthropic organisations have on the overall perceived legitimacy of philanthropy? (e.g. Can the adoption of participatory methods help to overcome concerns about philanthropic legitimacy?) What role can philanthropic or nonprofit structures play in addressing concerns about the power and legitimacy of private sector organisations? (E.g. can nonprofit ownership models be used to ensure that companies are accountable to society as well as shareholders or investors?) Is there any danger that in becoming partners with/agents for the state, nonprofits undermine their own ability to speak out? Further ResourcesLiv's personal websiteFreudenberg Stiftung's websiteERNOP conference 2025Philanthropisms podcast conversations with Róisín Wood, Farai Chideya and Daniel Stid, and episodes on the history and role of foundations, and pluralism.

We've all heard the words: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” But what happens when it doesn't feel that way? When life is heavy, shame lingers, and doubt creeps in? In this first part of our two-week series, we trace the sweeping story of Romans 1–8, through guilt, grace, struggle, and hope, so that we can hear Paul's bold question the way he meant it. This isn't a cliché. It's a promise. And the cross and empty tomb is the proof. God is for you. And that changes everything.   Leviticus 19:9–18 Romans 8:31-39 Luke 10:25–37

Ross Gerber returns to Market On Close to talk all things Tesla (TSLA). On Elon Musk, Ross shares concern with the CEO starting his "America Party," calling it a reversal of his promise to turn his attention back on the company. On autonomous driving, he argues Tesla is far behind companies like Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo, something he believes Musk needs to put more emphasis on. While many investors focus on the company's promises of future tech, Ross instead has his mind on the present as EV sales plunge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-...Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-...Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/19192...Watch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplu...Watch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-net...Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What does it take to transform a community while simultaneously transforming yourself? Megan Gerber's journey from classroom teacher to downtown entrepreneur to leadership coach unveils the profound connection between personal growth and entrepreneurial success.When Megan noticed her high school students in Chillicothe, Ohio lacked consistent adult support outside school hours, she took a remarkable leap of faith. With no business experience but boundless determination, she founded both Paper City Mentoring Project (a nonprofit supporting teenagers) and  (a full-service café that helped fund the mission). "I knew it was crazy. I knew I didn't know how to do it," she admits. Yet that commitment before complete readiness became her first entrepreneurial superpower.Throughout eight years of business ownership, Megan encountered what she calls "full walls" – seemingly insurmountable obstacles that threatened her dream. Her approach to these challenges reveals a crucial mindset: "I allowed myself the time and space to just step back for a second and recalibrate and say, this is how I thought I was going to build this business. That didn't work, so I'm going to figure out another way." This resilience and adaptability sustained her through financing hurdles, pandemic pivots, and countless leadership tests.Beyond business mechanics, Megan discovered the profound personal growth inherent in entrepreneurship. "If you want to do a lifetime of personal inner work, just become an entrepreneur," she reflects. This realization eventually led her to pursue a master's degree focused on the human dimensions of organizations, and ultimately to her current role coaching leaders through their own growth journeys.Today, Megan helps executives, small business owners, and leaders navigate the intersection between effective leadership and authentic humanity. Her core message resonates with startling clarity: "If you want to be a better leader, be a better human." Through one-on-one coaching and workshops tackling issues like anxiety, she guides clients to the self-awareness that transforms their leadership presence.Guest Links: https://web.facebook.com/papercitymentoringprojecthttps://web.facebook.com/papercitycoffeeMain Street Reimagined:Facebook: facebook.com/MainStreetReimaginedThe Main Street Reimagined Podcast, Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqfkmF5bRH0od1d3iiYKs3oEn_gvMYk7NHenry Development Group:Facebook: facebook.com/henrydevelopmentgroupWebsite: www.henrydevelopmentgroup.comDeveloping News Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/33110524eb5c/developing-newsLuke Henry:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/luhenryFacebook: facebook.com/luke.henry.148#MeganGerber #ChillicotheOhio #FemaleFounders #EntrepreneurJourney #PaperCityMentoring #FromTeacherToEntrepreneur #WomenInLeadership #CommunityRevitalization #MentorshipMatters #RealTalkLeadership #EmpoweredWomenEmpower #SocialImpactBusiness #HeartLedLeadership #SmallTownBigDreams #AuthenticLeadership

We all ask the question at some point: What is God's will for me? In this week's message, we walk with Elijah from the mountaintop of fire to the quiet of the cave and listen for the whisper of God. While we often search for big signs, emotional highs, or opened doors, Scripture shows us that God's voice often comes in stillness - and His will begins not with direction, but with relationship. Join us as we explore 1 Kings 18–19, reflect on how we try to hear God, and hear the good news that even when we've filled our lives with noise or run the other way, Jesus still calls us back - not to shame us, but to bring us life. Real life. Abundant life.   1 Kings 19:9b–21 Galatians 5:1, 13–25 Luke 9:51–62

What if the wonder you've been missing is found in the place you've been hiding? What if your healing requires a holy kind of honesty?This message explores the deeper meaning behind spiritual nakedness - not shameful exposure, but sacred vulnerability. “Let's Get Naked Again” invites us to strip off the fig leaves of performance, pride, and pain and return to the garden of trust, where we walk with God unashamed. Whether you're carrying betrayal, built up walls of mistrust, or desire to feel truly seen and safe again, this message is a gentle yet powerful call back to living open, honest, and whole before the Father who covers us in grace. It's not just about healing your heart - it's about recovering your original design: fully known, fully loved, fully free.Scriptures: Genesis 2:25; Genesis 3:7–9; Genesis 3:21; Matthew 19:13–14; Matthew 26:14–15 ; Psalm 27:10; Romans 8:14–17 Get the Preach notes: https://linccollective.co/2025/06/29/lets-get-naked-again/Childlike Series - Week Two: 00:00 – Let's Get Naked Again02:46 – Trust, Betrayal, and the Heart's Undoing08:55 – Fig Leaves and False Coverings32:42 – The Robe of Grace35:45 – Mistrust as a Setup for TransformationConnect with us:Website: http://lincchurch.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/lincchurchFacebook: https://facebook.com/lincchurchTwitter: https://twitter.com/lincchurchPodcast: https://apple.co/2Jx8wG0#LINCchurch #LINC To support this ministry financially and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://lincchurch.com/give

Ein Deja Vu: Ähnlich wie bei The Mask dürften viele Howard The Duck durch seinen Leinwandauftritt kennen. Aber wer hat eigentlich die Comics gelesen? Und damit meinen wir nicht die aktuelleren Inkarnationen, sondern den ursprünglichen Run von Steve Gerber und (vorwiegend) Gene Colan, der die Figur kreiert und geprägt hat. Und überhaupt, Gerber. Wer ist dieser faszinierende wie auch schwierige Mensch, der sich – wegen Howard – mit dem Verlagsgiganten Marvel angelegt hat. Klingt nach einem perfekten Thema für eine Diagnose. Und einem umfangreichen Thema. Wir haben wohl noch nie so viel recherchiert und selten so viele Ausgaben gelesen. Es gab genug zu sagen, um unser 60-Minuten-Format zu sprengen. Also gibt es einen ergänzenden Artikel auf der brandneuen Diagnose: Comics-Webseite. Gelesen wurde der Howard The Duck Omnibus bzw. die Howard the Duck Complete Collection Vol. 1, 2 und Teile von Vol. 3 und 4, erschienen bei Marvel Comics.

This week we ask a question too big to answer fully: Who is the Trinity? Instead of trying to explain Him, we turn to how the Trinity moves. The early Church used the word perichoresis, a divine dance, to describe how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together in perfect unity. Each Person of the Trinity leads a different movement: The Father creates and provides. The Son redeems and restores. The Spirit sanctifies and guides. And here's the good news: That dance isn't distant. You're invited in. Where is the Trinity at work in your life today? Psalm 8 Acts 2:14a, 22–36 John 8:48–59

00:00 - IntroductionWe open with coffee talk today–and sugar intake, including some beverage shortcuts. Tyler calls it cheaping out; Eddie calls it hillbilly lemonade. We also reminisce about our favorite waitress, 4'10” Miss Connie with the beehive haircut. Oh yeah, also pickle races. Poor Miss Connie.08:05 - Entrepreneurship: A Good Idea?A few weeks ago, guest Matt Aston recommended the book The E-Myth Revisited (now available in an updated version). Tyler shares that this book hit him in the teeth when he picked it up recently. We're discussing this book today because it's filled with great content for construction-related entrepreneurs. Business is hard. Each year, 627,000 businesses are started and 595,000 businesses fail. Many of those may have been active for several years, but still, it's clear that starting and running a business successfully is tough work. Author Michael E. Gerber shares his insights by telling the story of Sara, a fictional pie maker.12:46 - Initial E-Myth Takeaways Eddie shares the first bits of insight that he took from this book. Gerber distinguishes between the technician,  the manager, and the entrepreneur. These are three roles may exist in A technician is the person who can do something well. A manager the person who is good at logistics and task completion. An entrepreneur is the person who works not so much in the business and on the business. Tyler explains that many businesses are started by technicians who quickly find themselves needing to now fill all three of these roles. And since they may not have management strengths or entrepreneur strengths, their businesses often fail. Tyler and Eddie both share examples of how this pattern played out in their respective businesses, ABSI and Storybuilder. The pattern is one that will sound familiar to you if you've started your own business. As a company grows, team members are added in a less-than-strategic manner, resulting in confusion and frustration. The next step is often a soft collapse back to the point where the business owner is once again handling almost everything.   22:55 - SystemsTyler shares that his entrepreneurial journey has gone through the first part of this cycle. Tyler and Eddie discuss the smoothness of the system that makes this podcast operate and Tyler contrasts that with his business. Eddie discusses Gerbers references to Ray Kroc and what he did with McDonald's. Kroc bought a system. Gerber makes the argument that even owners of small businesses need to approach their business like a franchise in regard to team-building, systems, and training. Tyler refers to the movie Founder, which tells Kroc's story. This leads to some talk about the turn-key revolution pioneered by McDonald's. Tyler encourages business owners to check out Loom as a means of creating operational guides.32:12 - Training and More Eddie shares that one of the lessons from the book that most resonated with him was the importance of determining your primary aim. In other words, what is your life goal? If this business cannot generate that reality, then don't pursue the business. Tyler critiques this a bit, saying that the process needs to be considered as much as the primary aim. He said that the path to that end is just as important. Structuring a desired lifestyle now is as important as an entrepreneurial endgame. Eddie discusses the book's 4 tenets of strategy: organization, management, people, and marketing. Then there's a 5th-systems–that was more than we could discuss today. 36:12 - The HotelTyler and Eddie discuss Gerber's hotel storyline. Gerber recounts his experience learning about the systems that enabled this hotel to operate on such a high level. Then Gerber contrasts this hotel experience with a barbershop that provides high-quality service up front but was unable to repeat the quality of that experience over time. Tyler discusses the importance of not just first but also second, third, and fourth impressions. It's about consistently focusing on the things that are essential.  Check out the partners that make our show possible.Find Us Online: BrosPodcast.com - LinkedIn - Youtube - Instagram - Facebook - TikTok - Eddie's LinkedIn - Tyler's LinkedInIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us!

In October 2001, the dismembered remains of seventy-one-year-old Morris Black were found floating in Galveston Bay. A few days later, Black's neighbor, Robert Durst, was arrested on suspicion of murder and released on $250,000 bail. After posting bail, Durst jumped bail and disappeared for six weeks, before being arrested by Pennsylvania authorities at the end of November.In the years that followed, investigators and prosecutors began combing through Durst's life, discovering disturbing connections between the excentric millionaire and the mysterious disappearances and deaths of several people who were once close to Durst.

Would you like to try a safe method of healing? Do you know about Red Light Therapy? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr. Carl Rothschild and Joyce Gerber, who also joins us, to talk about the multiple benefits of this therapy. Dr. Rothchild has been a chiropractor for many decades. Nearly 30 years ago, he was introduced to a healing method known as “Red Light Therapy.” Joyce Gerber, who is an expert nutritionist and colon hydrotherapist, met Dr. Carl Rothschild during the pandemic lockdown. Joyce was not able to do hands-on therapy, so she began working with Dr. Rothschild on his Red Light Therapy beds. She met a client who had heart problems. After 5 minutes, the therapy helped his heart tremendously. They explain how we are in a state of regeneration or degeneration. Joyce talks about how she also uses food as therapy. She looks at the whole body and how one part affects another. It's a holistic approach. The remedies are personalized. It's a powerful modality. Joyce explains how nutrition helps as well. Dr. Carl talks about how each session is 12 minutes. He says there have been no recorded side effects from this therapy. Your body will respond whether it needs to relax or be energized. The body knows how to get better. If you have any condition, the therapy may help. Mitochondrial activity is increased, and it will improve those particular areas. It is whole body healing. Dr. Carl explains that not only will you look better and feel better, you will have a better quality of life. Everyone can benefit from this non-invasive treatment. Joyce Gerber calls the mitochondria the energy factories of the cell. They are necessary for optimal health. Dr. Carl also discusses pain and the underlying causes. When corrected, the pain and inflammation go away. You must correct the underlying issues, and you can also reverse them with Red Light Therapy. He also discusses the difference between infared saunas using far-infared and the therapy beds. The near-infared waves affect the mitochondria. He also discusses blue and green lights too, and how blue light can negatively affect sleep patterns. The Red Light wavelengths are invisible to the naked eye. He talks about how there are more than 3 million documents and articles about the benefits of this therapy including studies from the National Institutes of Health. He further discusses how the therapy can also improve mood, sleep, and emotions. There are numerous locations around the country which have the Red Light Therapy Beds. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: www.trifectalight.com/joyce

In October 2001, the dismembered remains of seventy-one-year-old Morris Black were found floating in Galveston Bay. A few days later, Black's neighbor, Robert Durst, was arrested on suspicion of murder and released on $250,000 bail. After posting bail, Durst jumped bail and disappeared for six weeks, before being arrested by Pennsylvania authorities at the end of November.In the years that followed, investigators and prosecutors began combing through Durst's life, discovering disturbing connections between the excentric millionaire and the mysterious disappearances and deaths of several people who were once close to Durst. Robert Durst had been a suspect in the murder of Morris Black, but was it possible he was in fact a multiple murderer who'd evaded detection for decades?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 2001.

This week we explore how being confirmed isn't a one-time event, but a daily identity that calls us to live and speak the name of Jesus.   Acts 4:1–22 Romans 10:5-13 John 21:1–14

Are you looking for a different and safe method of healing? Have you heard about Red Light Therapy? Dr. Carl Rothschild and Joyce Gerber join us today to talk about the multiple benefits of this therapy. Dr. Rothchild has been a chiropractor for many decades. He loved helping people and had a goal of helping as many as he could. Nearly 30 years ago, he was introduced to a healing method known as “Red Light Therapy.” He started testing this therapy at his 12 practices and had profound results. Science at the time knew this was an element of the sun but couldn't quite explain how it worked. Hereditary diseases and auto-immune diseases have all seen beneficial results by using this therapy. Yet, many people and healthcare practitioners haven't even heard about this. Dr. Rothschild describes a particular patient who had severe burns. Within just a few weeks, the pain and scaring had improved dramatically by using this method. There's also a red light that helped with weight and fat loss. As a chiropractor, Dr. Rothschild believed he should remove the interference and allow the body to do what it does best, which is to heal. If your nervous system flows, you will feel better and have more energy. He talks about how light, and a smart diet can help. He also explains how it can soothe nerves and help with anxiety. He discusses how this red light can help and how science has done research on many ailments. He explains about the thousands of mitochondria in each cell. They are vitally important for optimal health. Red and near-infrared therapy can bring the mitochondria back to health.  It stimulates circulation. The safe elements of sunlight help tremendously – the two wavelengths of red and near-infared go deep into the person's body. During Covid, Dr. Rothschild and his team developed Red Light Therapy beds. A patient lies in the bed and the light penetrates deep. This helps the cells to work properly. It is getting to the cellular level to get the mitochondria to work properly so they can do their job. He explains that 10% of an adult's body weight is made up of mitochondria. This is a newer finding. If the cells are not functioning properly, diseases can happen, including auto-immune dysfunction. Dr. Rothschild has seen dramatic results in eyesight, headaches, and so much more by combining red light and near-infared light. This type of light will not cause a tan or damage to the skin. In fact, it also helps the skin to have less wrinkles and repairs it. The light penetrates inches into the body. It has an effect on distant cells as well. It can help with various organs and deep tissue healing. There are numerous locations around the country which have the Red Light Therapy Beds. This is Part 1 of the interview.
