Episode 81 - Murdock and Marvel: 2011 Part 2 It was a quiet year in the comics world, but there were a lot of developments going on behind the scenes, and up on the screen. Oh, and we did get ONE new character worth talking about… This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2011. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil v2 #512, Daredevil v3 #1-5, Daredevil Reborn #1-4, Shadowland #5, Ultimate Avengers #15-18, Ultimate Spider-Man #150, Bullseye: Perfect Game #2, What if? 200 #1, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #15, Avengers #17, Vengeance #2, Captain America Corps #4-5, New Avengers #16, FF #11, Season One Guide #1 and the Spider-Man Chapter One graphic novel. Writer: Andy Diggle (Reborn #1-4), Mark Waid (#1-5) Pencils: David Gianfelice (Reborn #1-4), Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin (#1), Paolo Rivera (#2-3), Marco Martin (#4-5) Inks: David Gianfelice (Reborn #1-4), Marcos Martin and Joe Rivera (#1), Joe Rivera (#2-3), Marcos Martin (#4-5) 2011 begins with the final few issues of the Shadowland crossover event we talked about a couple weeks ago. In it, Murdock is the leader of the Hand and tries to use them for good in NYC but he's corrupted by Snakeroot and “the Beast” and threatens to take down all of humanity before Iron Fist, Luke Cage and friends can stop him. Elektra smuggles Murdock's lifeless body from the scene but who know he survives because Ben Urich gets a recording from Murdock saying he's sorry for what happened and needs to get away to find the right path again. In March, we learn what happened to Murdock in a 4-part limited series entitles Daredevil Reborn. In it, we learn he's been wandering the country by foot and by bus and has found his way to New Mexico and proves to be the only story we get outside New York. We'll cover it as this week's spotlight story. In September, we get issue #1 of Daredevil volume 3, a double sized issue from a new creative team. In this book we actually get 3 stories – “Here Comes…Daredevil” a 1-page recap of Daredevil history, “Man without Fear” in which Daredevil saves a mob bosses daughter from being abducted by the Spot during her wedding day but then Matt gets removed as lawyer from a case he's working on because he's Daredevil. Finally, in “Sometimes, in my dreams… I can See” Matt goes to his father's grave site with Foggy. As volume 2 continues, Daredevil has a talk with Captain America, Steve Rogers, about what he did in New York during Shadowland and convinces him it won't happen again. Next Daredevil investigates why no one else was willing to work on the Jobrani case he was removed from. Turns out other lawyers who considered it were being threatened and supposedly Jobrani is hearing voices. After a run-in with the Klaw – who was the one causing Jobrani to hear voices, Murdock decides the best way he can help people is coaching them to represent themselves in court. After working with Jobrani, he wins his court case and Matt decides this is the new way forward for Nelson & Murdock. Meeting with new potential clients under their new business model, Murdock meats with Austin Cao, a blind man who was working as a linguist for Midas Investments before he was abruptly fired. While that initially doesn't look like much of a case, some men try to murder Austin and Matt while they are talking which causes Matt to take the case as Daredevil. Matt dispatches the mercenaries and he hides Austin at his apartment. There he learns Austin overheard parts of a plot by Midas to broker a deal between Hydra, A.I.M., Black Spector, Zodiac and possibly other crime organizations. Daredevil confronts Austin's old boss Mr. Randall who tells him he was only trying to protect Austin by firing him. More Midas mercenaries attack Randall who realizes what he's done, and Daredevil must fight them off including Bruiser, an up-and-coming mercenary with powers trying to make a name for himself. This story ends in early 2012 with a face-off between Daredevil and the 5 megacrime organizations using the threat of mutually assured destruction. He tells them they're going to let him and his friends go, because in order for one of them to take the Omega drive, they'll have to kill the other four agents and inevitably start a gang war. The agents lower their weapons and Daredevil walks out with Randall and Austin. He tells the terrorists that if their bosses want the Omega drive, they know where to find him. This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil Reborn #1 from March 2011 “Reborn, Chapter One” through Daredevil Reborn #4 July 2011 “Reborn, Chapter Four” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway It's time for a reset at Marvel!

Les antibiotiques sont des médicaments utilisés pour traiter et prévenir les infections bactériennes. On parle d'antibiorésistance lorsque les bactéries deviennent insensibles à ces médicaments. Un nombre croissant d'infections, telles que la pneumonie ou la tuberculose, deviennent ainsi de plus en plus difficiles à traiter. Selon l'OMS, la résistance aux antibiotiques constitue «l'une des plus graves menaces pesant sur la santé mondiale, la sécurité alimentaire et le développement». Quels sont les causes et les effets de l'antibiorésistance ? Peut-on la prévenir ? Pascale Cossart, microbiologiste, experte en biologie des infections bactériennes, professeure à l'Institut Pasteur, secrétaire perpétuelle honoraire de l'Académie des sciences et auteure de l'ouvrage Virus contre bactéries : une solution pour vaincre l'antibiorésistance aux éditions Odile Jacob Emilienne Yissibi Pola, pharmacienne de Santé Publique, consultante en Harmonisation des Politiques et Réglementations Pharmaceutiques.

This is the full podcast of Midas, A Folly in Two Acts & an Epilogue, which was previously dropped as discrete episodes but is available now in its shimmering entirety! Everyone thinks they know the story of Midas and the Golden Touch, some even know the concomitant story of Midas and the Donkey Ears, but there is even more to know about this foollish king of Phrygia than those two stories.Why did Midas get the Golden Touch in the first place? What did that have to do with Dionysus the god and the satyr Silenus? And will Dan ever get paid?Why did Midas get the Donkey Ears? How was this, too, an instance of his foolishness? Was he a racist?How did Midas die in the end? Was he really punished through eternity in Tartarus for his sins?There is a reason this story is a classic as the material herein has multiple parallels to events and persons throughout history not to mention the present day. Enjoy, and thank you for tuning in.

While the directing credit goes to Tobe Hooper, it was Producer Steven Spielberg who had the Midas touch in the 1980's, but does a zero-body count horror movie that has been endlessly parodied and imitated still deliver the scares?

Tyler Paparello is the Chief Operating Officer at AMG, overseeing 28 Midas locations across New England. With a background rooted in sales, Tyler learned early on that while selling can solve short-term problems, it takes leadership, people, and process to scale a business sustainably. Today, he focuses on building systems that empower employees, earn customer trust, and create long-term growth opportunities across the organization.In this episode…What happens when a company grows faster than one person can manage? For Tyler Paparello, it meant learning a lesson every leader eventually faces: you can't sell your way out of every challenge. Leadership in business growth requires more than talent for closing deals; it's about building teams, developing people, and creating processes that work at scale.On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge welcomes Tyler for a candid conversation about transitioning from sales-driven success to people-first leadership. Tyler shares how his early sales experience shaped the way he runs operations at 28 Midas shops, and why he believes employees are the foundation of long-term success. He also explains how customer trust, retention, and perception directly impact growth and why focusing on people, not profit, is the true path to sustainable business leadership.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:27] Tyler's career background and how he got started at Midas[02:47] The mantra that guides his leadership philosophy[04:04] How digital vehicle inspections (DVIs) influence customer trust and sales[05:21] Why storytelling makes DVIs more effective in customer communication[08:03] Why the auto repair industry struggles with customer trust[09:48] Using Net Promoter Score (NPS) to capture authentic customer feedback[13:09] Tyler's transition from sales to leadership as AMG scaled[15:08] The impact of tariffs on pricing and operations[18:35] A sales story that shows the power of honesty in business[21:36] Tyler's love for New Haven pizza — and why he calls it the best in the country[25:33] Future growth plans for AMG and the career opportunities they create[27:47] Why promoting from within drives retention and strengthens leadership cultureResources mentioned in this episode:Tyler Paparello on LinkedInMidas' WebsiteTread PartnersMike Edge on LinkedInGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction PodcastQuotable Moments:“You can't sell your way out of 20 stores' problems, you have to lead.”“It always comes back to people. Employees and customers are the foundation of success.”“Perception is reality: How you present pricing matters as much as the price itself.”“Processes and systems create consistency, and consistency builds trust.”“Leadership in business growth starts with investing in your team, not chasing profit.”Action Steps:Invest in people, not just sales results: Focus on developing employees and promoting from within to build loyalty and leadership.Leverage digital tools like DVIs and NPS: Use technology to strengthen trust, gather feedback, and improve customer experience.Rethink how you handle pricing: Present costs with confidence to reinforce value rather than apologizing for them.Build systems that scale: Processes, not one-off fixes, drive sustainable growth.Keep people at the center: Customers and employees must remain the priority, profit follows when people are cared for.

The media landscape is noisier than ever. How can founders and business leaders get their stories heard? And in an age of AI-driven content, how can creators distinguish themselves and build a direct relationship with their audience? In this episode, CJ sits down with Alex Konrad, a longtime tech journalist, former Forbes editor (responsible for curating the renowned Forbes 30 Under 30, Cloud 100, and Midas lists), and founder of Upstarts, a newsletter covering startups, venture capital, and the people shaping the innovation economy. Alex shares insider stories from his decade at Forbes, including how lists like the “30 Under 30” were created and what it was like profiling (and sometimes singing karaoke with) the likes of Marc Benioff, Satya Nadella, and Sam Altman. The conversation explores the evolving landscape of media, the business fund-raising announcements, how startups can actually work with journalists to shape perception, the rise of VC firms as media powerhouses, the shifting role of platforms like Substack and LinkedIn, why relationship-driven content will outlast the race to break news, and the death of traditional SEO.—LINKS:Alex Konrad on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexrkonradAlex Konrad on X (@alexrkonrad): https://x.com/alexrkonradUpstarts Media: CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: LINKS MENTIONED:No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & Startups: https://www.youtube.com/@NoPriorsPodcastLatent Space: https://www.youtube.com/@LatentSpacePodThe Daily: https://www.nytimes.com/column/the-daily52 Sourcery with Molly O'Shea https://www.youtube.com/@SourceryVCThe Information: https://www.nytimes.com/column/the-dailyRELATED EPISODES:“Let's Just See What Breaks” — Intuit's CFO on Being a Disruptor When You're Already the Incumbent - —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:32) Sponsor – Navan | Rillet | Pulley(07:13) Building the Forbes 30 Under 30, Cloud 100, and Midas List(11:49) The Meme of SEC Trouble on Forbes List and a Media Tip(14:08) Why Lists Work So Well(17:17) Sponsor – Brex | Aleph | RightRev(21:57) What Might Convince Alex To Start a List(23:13) Karaoke With Benioff & Interacting With Billionaires(29:14) Entrepreneurship & Work-Life Integration(33:25) Sales Skills Alex Learned as a Founder(37:56) The Dance Behind Fundraising Announcements(42:30) How To Capitalize on the Media Outside of Funding Rounds(45:24) Examples of Founder “Oh S**t!” Moments(47:58) VC Firms As Media Companies(51:16) Non-Journalists Interviewing in Tech(55:02) Audience Relationship & Guarding Against AI(57:41) The Death of SEO(1:00:45) The Value of Time Sensitivity and News in the Era of AI(1:02:40) Platform Relationships & Substack(1:04:55) Bootstrapping Media & VC Pressure(1:10:55) Wrap—SPONSORS:Navan is the all-in-one travel and expense solution that helps finance teams streamline reconciliation, enforce policies automatically, and gain real-time visibility.

Episode 22In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what's happening here on Earth.This special episode is entirely dedicated to Pallas Athena — the asteroid and warrior goddess known for her strategic genius. We start by unpacking her many myths, including the famous story of her birth from Zeus' head, her role in the beheading of Medusa, and her origins in ancient Libya. Then we get into the astro of it all. We break down how Pallas Athena became one of the four asteroid goddesses, and how the archetypal warrior queen manifests in your birth chart. And finally, we look at the charts of major icons with prominent Pallas placements — like Amelia Earhart, Nina Simone, Issa Rae, and Britney Spears — and dig into the ways they each used intelligence, independence, and innovation to their advantage.

Two remixes from Thailand's Sunju Hargun and Sweden's Evigt Mörker complete the vision, reconfiguring each original track in masterful and signature style and bringing new energies to focus.

Thomas Winmill, manager of the Midas Discovery Fund and the Bexsil Investment Trust, says that while the rally in gold is long in the tooth — at record highs having lasted twice as long as the standard rally — but he makes the case that it still has plenty of room to run, boosted by purchases made by central banks around the world. Winmill says that a rising dollar might end the rally, but that's not in his forecast; he sees rates staying low or stable, providing enough fuel that the price of gold-mining stocks "could be a triple from here." David Trainer, founder and president at New Constructs, puts Peloton Interactive back into The Danger Zone, noting that the company — which is reporting earnings this week — has turned into a meme stock that has doubled its price from recent lows, but which hasn't improved a negative economic book value, meaning the current rally could be the proverbial dead-cat bounce. Lester Jones, chief economist for the National Beer Wholesalers Association discusses the latest Beer Purchasers Index, which showed a big decline from a year ago — meaning there could be an economic slowdown ahead — but a big improvement from the numbers released a month ago, which would signal that buyers are in a "holding pattern" waiting on tariff and other news before making purchase decisions. Plus, Chuck goes off the news on how a "boring" July that saw the market reach 10 record highs may have been setting up a rough August, and how the numbers could be tougher to get a read on depending on government changes in the future.
