For decades, Leo “Bushido” Bercier (Ojibwe) balanced a full-time job and a family as he worked to make a name for himself as a professional fighter. Now, he's hoping the controversial sport of bare-knuckle boxing will afford new opportunities. Along the way, he's helping other amateur fighters in Great Falls, Mont. Similarly, across the country, Joshua Oxendine (Lumbee) is lining up bouts while also teaching traditional boxing at a gym he owns with his wife outside Charlotte, N.C. We'll speak with both fighters about their passion for the sport that was banned for more than a century. We'll also get perspectives on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Rosebud. Chief Crazy Horse and Lakota and Cheyenne warriors successfully turned back the U.S. Army column led by Gen. George Crook, cutting off the re-enforcements heading to the fateful Battle of Greasy Grass eight days later.

Jason and Joseph return to for their full deposition with their favorite lawyer in Daredevil: Born Again.

This week on The Marvelists Presents: Catholic Guilt - A Daredevil Born Again Podcast, Peter and Eddie return to the confessional for a triple dose of Hell's Kitchen intensity as Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 ramps up the stakes. Matt Murdock is in hiding, Wilson Fisk tightens his grip with martial law and the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, and the battle for New York's soul grows bloodier by the hour. In “Shoot the Moon,” Fisk makes a calculated political play by declaring Matt Murdock “missing” and publicly blaming the Devil of Hell's Kitchen—while Bullseye (Dex) wrestles with his fractured psyche, showing up at a church and forcing Matt to confront questions of grace, guilt, and whether some monsters can ever truly be redeemed. Karen Page and the growing resistance scramble as the city spirals deeper into darkness. “The Scales & The Sword” delivers major action as Matt teams up with unlikely allies—including the Swordsman (Jack Duquesne)—for a high-stakes prison break at Red Hook. Angela del Toro makes her powerful debut as the new White Tiger, billy clubs clash, and Daredevil's radar sense is pushed to the limit. But Fisk responds with a brutal counterstrike that sends bodies to the bottom of the East River. Then in “Gloves Off,” the fists fly both literally and figuratively: Bullseye adopts a dangerous new routine, Fisk steps into the ring, and Matt's internal struggle reaches new heights as he questions whether mercy is a strength or a deadly weakness in a city that's bleeding out. Peter and Eddie unpack the heavy faith-driven moral dilemmas, the jaw-dropping fight choreography (that Red Hook breakout is next-level), the escalating Fisk-Murdock chess game, and how the series continues to wrestle with sin, forgiveness, redemption, and what it truly means to be a hero in a fallen world. They also discuss the expanding resistance, White Tiger's arrival, and whether Matt's hesitation toward Bullseye is noble… or just classic Catholic guilt wrapped in a devil suit. Grab your rosary beads, your nightstick, and maybe something strong from Josie's. This trio of episodes is heavy, heartfelt, and packed with horns. New episode drops now—hail Mary, full of grace… and full of punches.

When Ross McNairn realized his legal career meant reviewing 15,000 documents by hand, he didn't just question the system - he rewrote it. Literally. In this episode, Mary sits down with the Wordsmith ai founder to unpack what happens when a former lawyer turned engineer takes on legal's biggest inefficiencies and why AI is about to redraw the boundaries between in-house teams and law firms. From exploding startup valuations to the rise of "shadow legal," Ross brings a builder's lens to a profession in flux. The result is a candid, sometimes uncomfortable look at where legal work is actually headed, and who stands to win. This episode of Pearls On, Gloves Off is powered by Workday. Learn more at workday.com. In this episode: The Breaking Point: Ross shares the exact moment he realized private practice incentives reward inefficiency, and why that pushed him to build instead of bill. AI's Real Impact on Legal Spend: Why in-house teams are poised to cut 70–80% of external counsel costs, and why no GC is asking for more law firm dependency. The Two-Sided Market Problem: Can one product truly serve both law firms and in-house teams when their incentives are fundamentally opposed? The Founder Reality Check: Behind the hype of legal AI startups - what building a company actually feels like, and why most won't survive the next wave. The Rise of Legal Engineering: The emerging role that blends law, systems thinking, and AI - and why it may become the most in-demand job in legal. Who Wins Next: Ross's prediction that up to 80% of current legal tech players won't survive the coming platform shift. If you're trying to make sense of legal AI beyond the hype, this conversation delivers a clear-eyed view of what's changing, what's breaking, and what's being built next.

This episode of Pearls On, Gloves Off is powered by Workday. Learn more at workday.com. In this episode, Mary sits down with Claire Hart, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Board Member at Groq, to talk about what legal leaders should expect in the AI era - from their law firms, their teams, and themselves. With senior leadership roles at Google, Blizzard, and Genies, Claire brings a sharp perspective from the intersection of law, business, and technology. The conversation starts with the LinkedIn comment that got people talking: Claire said she would be horrified to learn that some of the law firms she works with are not using AI. From there, she and Mary unpack why adoption is still so uneven, how the billable hour distorts incentives, what young lawyers need to stay relevant, and why judgment, curiosity, and team design matter more than ever as legal moves into an AI-driven future. In this episode: Claire's AI hot take: Why clients should be alarmed if their outside counsel aren't using AI The adoption problem: How risk concerns and the billable hour are slowing real change Efficiency vs. incentives: Why the tech clients want conflicts with how firms make money What young lawyers need now: Judgment, communication, and adaptability over pure technical skill The blurring of roles: How lawyers, legal ops, and contract managers are starting to overlap What law firms still miss: Why understanding how businesses actually operate is now a competitive edge Join Mary's Substack Community Follow Mary on LinkedIn Rate and review on Apple Podcasts

In this episode of Pearls On, Gloves Off, Mary sits down with Bill Ryan, Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer at AT&T, and Ava Guo, Assistant Vice President and Senior Legal Counsel, to talk about leading through the AI inflection point inside a global legal department. As tools evolve monthly and expectations rise, the real differentiator isn't access to technology, it's execution. Bill and Ava share how they're thinking about urgency, culture, ROI, and outside counsel alignment in a world where everyone has AI. If you're trying to separate hype from operational reality, this conversation delivers. In this episode: Execution is the differentiator: "Vision without execution is hallucination" - why moving from experimentation to delivery is what actually matters. ROI has to be measurable: Beyond "time saved," how they track precision, reduced document review, hours, dollars - and build trust over time. AI increases volume, not just efficiency: As courts, consumers, and counterparties use AI too, filings and complexity are rising. Mindset beats mastery: Why they're hiring for curiosity and adaptability over deep tenure or tool-specific expertise. Not everything is a GenAI problem: The continued importance of structured systems, legacy tools, and disciplined workflows. Law firm relationships are evolving: What urgency, partnership, and value look like from the client side in an AI-accelerated market.

In this episode of Pearls On, Gloves Off, Mary sits down with Mike Abbott, Head of the Thomson Reuters Institute, to unpack the paradox: how can firms be thriving on paper while the ground shifts beneath them? Clients are tightening spend. Work is moving down-market and in-house. AI adoption is accelerating, especially on the client side, yet most of the industry still can't measure ROI beyond "time saved." And the biggest unresolved question hangs over everything: when tech makes legal work faster, who gets the benefit? Mike brings the data, the patterns, and the historical context, plus a sobering signal: late 2025 showed a sharp dip in M&A alongside a rise in countercyclical practices. If you're trying to understand what's actually coming in 2026, this is your listen. In this episode: Record profits… and warning lights: Why a "great year" can still mask real risk (and why it feels eerily familiar). The work is moving: Not just in-house, down-market into the second hundred and mid-size firms. AI as an efficiency engine (for now): Adoption is surging, but ROI tracking is still immature across the ecosystem. The billing model stalemate: If ~90% of billing is still hourly (with "creative" hourly flavors), what happens when AI collapses time-to-deliver? Value gap reality check: The uncomfortable stat: one in four clients say they've never experienced a law firm that delivers value - and what "value" actually means to clients. Legal ops as the bridge: Why the legal ops function is more critical than ever, and why it's unlikely to be a passing trend.

Anyone who ever listened to Jenna Blum do interviews on the A Mighty Blaze podcast will not be one bit surprised to hear that we had a great time talking all things writing but most specifically writing BIG—which Jenna has absolutely done with her current book, Murder Your Darlings. Murder Your Darlings is a contemporary thriller and a real departure from Jenna's very popular historical fiction—a departure that's totally in keeping with Jenna's own enthusiastic, passionate personality. As her agent said, her earlier work was elegant and restrained (although still powerful) but in this one Jenna lets herself loose. We had a wonderful time talking about it, and I know you'll have a great time listening. #AmReadingThe Plot and The Sequel, Jean Hanff Korelitz Last Seen, Christopher CastellaniYou, Caroline KepnesJoin Jenna on tour—she's absolutely a joy to listen to on writing and probably any other topic!

Alex talks about the hottest issue leading up to next week's election….the 2026 election. California's Proposition 50 is a power play by Governor Newsom and Democrats to fight back against Republican gerrymandering in Texas, in the hopes of saving Democratic seats in Congress in the midterm elections. Now a firestorm has ignited with states across the country launching redistricting efforts, and both parties have come to play. First, Alex hears about grassroots efforts to tackle the issue from Richard von Glahn, the Executive Director of People Not Politicians in Missouri. Then she speaks to democratic strategist David Plouffe about the moral quandary Democrats find themselves in, and why our hyper partisan political environment necessitates a gloves-off approach.
