Yıllarca ne kadar para biriktirmemiz gerektiğine odaklanıyor, ancak hedefe ulaştıktan sonra bizi nasıl bir hayatın beklediğini hiç sorgulamıyoruz. Midas Podcast'in bu bölümünde, finansal bağımsızlık sonrası yaşanan amaç boşluğunu ve paranın bittiği yerde başlayan gerçek yaşam stratejilerini masaya yatırıyoruz.

I denne episoden av Ukrainapodden har programleder Tormod Malvin Sæther besøk av bystyremedlem for Høyre i Oslo og frivillig i Ukrainian Freedom Convoys, Lars Petter Solås. Solås har tilbrakt sommeren tett på krigens realiteter i Ukraina, hvor han blant annet har vært i Sumy, Kharkiv, Lviv og Mykolajiv, og gir en rystende rapport fra fronten. Temaet spenner fra den politiske krisen i Kyiv – hvor avsettelsen av den populære forsvarsministeren Mykhailo Fedorov utløste protester og førte til at forsvarssjef Oleksandr Syrskyj måtte gå til fordel for Mykhajlo Drapatyi – til de nyeste korrupsjonsavsløringene knyttet til Midas-skandalen og Sense Bank. Samtidig belyses det hvordan Vladimir Putin utnytter korrupsjon som maktmiddel i Russland, mens ukrainske antikorrupsjonsmyndigheter kjemper for å rydde opp midt under krigen. Solås forteller om hvordan Russland nå målrettet angriper sivile bensinstasjoner og postterminaler som Nova Poshta med Molniya-droner, FPV-droner og Shahed-droner for å kvele den sivile logistikken i Sumy og Donbas. Vi får også en direkte skildring av den groteske terrorbombingen mot sivile i Kherson, der russiske operatører bruker fiberoptiske droner til å angripe forsvarsløse innbyggere. Avslutningsvis diskuteres innsatsen til Ukrainian Freedom Convoys og behovet for flere kjøretøy til det ukrainske forsvaret.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Navin Chaddha is the Managing Partner at Mayfield. He's made the Forbes Midas List 18 times, and thinks a lot of the AI revenue everyone's chasing right now is fake.Mayfield is a 56-year-old firm that backs founders at the paper-and-pencil stage.

P.M. Edition for Aug. 6. Meta said today one of its AI models hacked a third-party service during cybersecurity testing. WSJ tech reporter Sam Schechner discusses why these incidents are becoming more common. Plus, billionaire Dan Gilbert has already revived Detroit's downtown. Now he's set his sights on a $1.6 billion project that would transform the city's waterfront—but, as Journal real estate reporter Nicholas Miller explains, it's a gamble for him, and for the city. And SpaceX investors brace for more volatility after $100 billion of the company's shares were unlocked today. We hear from markets reporter David Uberti about what investors should expect.

Riordan Maynard's story is almost impossible to believe. He left school at 16, learned the art of selling at Foxtons and co-founded Touchbase, a mobile-phone business that grew to around 200 million. Then ego, reckless expansion, the financial crisis and a refusal to accept failure brought everything crashing down.What followed was six years inside the American prison system, separation from his wife and five children, brutal violence and a complete mental collapse within his first six weeks.In this extraordinarily raw conversation with Dan Pope, Riordan explains how believing he was “Midas” turned ambition into self-destruction, why hopelessness crushes the human spirit and how he rebuilt his mind by focusing only on what he could control.He also shares hard-earned lessons on sales, differentiation, value, resilience and closing deals. Brutally honest, darkly funny and unexpectedly practical, this is a conversation about extraordinary success, catastrophic failure and rebuilding yourself after losing almost everything.Ayra is your external front of house.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We sat down with Paul Desmarais III, the Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Sagard, the fast-growing $46B global multi-strategy alternative asset manager.We were live from Berlin, which becomes the “capital of private capital” in June as private equity industry leaders make the annual pilgrimage to the city for one of the marquee private equity conferences, SuperReturn Berlin.With Prosek Partners and former Bloomberg TV journalist Deirdre Bolton as my producer, along with her team, we took over a Tiny Space cabin to hold big conversations with some of the industry's leading alternative asset managers.Sagard combines a rich history and heritage of building asset management businesses with a modern approach to building a global alternative asset manager.Paul's deep understanding of the industry comes from being part of a family of multiple generations of asset management pioneers in Canada who have built some of the industry's largest financial services businesses. Paul is the “next first generation” of asset management pioneers to come out of the Desmarais family. He started Sagard with $400M in seed capital in 2016 and, in ten short years, has grown the platform into a global multi-strategy alternative asset manager with over $46B. Sagard's mission to empower founders by being a business that builds businesses shines through in the approach Paul and the team have taken in building Sagard. The firm has incubated, built, and acquired asset management talent and firms to scale across strategy and geography into the global platform that it is today.Paul and I had a fascinating conversation about the business of asset management and why Sagard exists to serve entrepreneurs around the world. We covered:Sagard's entrepreneurial DNA.What does it mean to build a business that builds businesses?Being the “next first generation.”How Sagard approaches the buy, build, partner framework of asset management businesses.How Sagard has expanded its platform across asset classes and strategies.How to build a global, multi-strategy asset management brand.Why specialization matters in asset management.How to approach the wealth channel.The decentralized pod shop model.The future of private markets.BioPaul Desmarais III is the Chairman and CEO of Sagard, an alternative asset management firm active in venture capital, private equity, credit, and real estate.Paul has led Sagard since 2016, along with a handful of close partners bound by a common vision: partnering with entrepreneurs to catalyze transformation in our investments and communities. Sagard has experienced outstanding growth, with assets under management increasing to over $46B.Under Paul, Sagard has built a global network of expertise that helps companies lead, embrace, and stay ahead of disruptive trends, expanding activity in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Paul engages actively in growing Sagard companies. Within the Sagard ecosystem, Paul is the Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Portage (fintech & financial services investing) and the Chairman and Co-Founder of Diagram (venture builder). Within the investment portfolios, he is the Chairman of Wealthsimple, Novisto, and Sagard Wealth, and a director of Nesto and Midas. Paul also sits on the board of Empower, the number two 401(k) business in the U.S.Show Notes00:00 Live From SuperReturn00:10 Meet Paul Desmarais III01:06 Family Business Roots01:23 G1 Entrepreneur Mindset01:35 Launching Sagard 201601:51 Generational Reinvention02:02 Early Spark To Build03:40 Learning From Mistakes04:33 By Entrepreneurs For Entrepreneurs04:45 Sagard Origin Story04:58 Power Corp Alternatives Gap05:43 Starting With Credit06:10 Serving Beyond The Family06:46 Alignment With Family Capital07:19 Customer First Performance07:44 Team Money Invested07:53 Generational Time Horizon08:47 Patience Builds Partnerships09:22 Innovation In The DNA09:39 Regional To Global Champions09:53 Why Reinvention Matters10:26 Platform Strategy Mix11:02 Pillars Of The Firm11:25 Fintech Ecosystem Flywheel11:35 Building The Competitive Moat12:07 Emerging Managers Advantage12:41 Synergies At Scale13:08 Designing Collaboration13:47 Incentives And Shared Carry15:07 Values Drive Culture23:25 Legacy And Entrepreneur Impact24:39 Closing Thanks

After a productive first 100 days after returning to office, President Trump has since hit a rough patch – stubborn inflation (despite an otherwise powerhouse economy), an unpopular war with Iran, setbacks at the Supreme Court, plus growing dissent among congressional Republicans as his party faces the distinct possibility of losing one or both chambers of Congress in November. Has the ever-impulsive, risk-taking Trump lost his political Midas touch, or is he simply yet another president befuddled by a second-term jinx (not to mention a disgruntled electorate)? If Trump is sorely in need of a “win”, will it come on the domestic front or abroad (spoiler alert: look to Cuba)? After that, the fellows discuss whether it was fair play for the American president to intervene in World Cup officiating and the International Olympic Committee to allow Russian athlete to compete for Mother Russia in the 2028 Games, if the war in Ukraine is anywhere close to a tipping point, whether futbol is in fact an expression of socialist convictions (or so New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani believes), and the policy smarts (or a lack thereof) of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' call for a sovereign wealth on AI companies' stock and how those firms should be addressing the industry's image problem (the fellows playfully disagreeing on using AI to cheat on schoolwork).

Are you truly happy, or just chasing a counterfeit? Have you ever followed a piece of advice that sounded great in the moment, only to realize it led you straight into an absolute mess? We've all been there. We live in a world that constantly tells us, "Just do whatever makes you happy!" But let's be honest—if most of us did exactly what made us "happy" in our flesh, we'd probably end up broken, miserable, and spiritually bankrupt. In this message, "The Foundation for Godly Living," we dive into Psalm 1—the grand introduction to the entire book of Psalms, and the ultimate blueprint for a life of genuine peace, joy, and eternal security. The Downward Spiral of Compromise God knows how easily we get off track, so He starts this Psalm with three warnings that show us how fast we can slide down the wrong path. It's a descending staircase. • Walking in the advice of the wicked (taking cues from those far from God). • Standing in the pathway with sinners (hanging out, letting your lives get intertwined). • Sitting in the company of mockers (getting comfortable, sitting on the couch, and committing to a lifestyle of rebellion). "Whoever you spend your time with in a predominant way is who you will eventually become—for better or for worse." Are you taking advice from Reddit, Google, or that one "knucklehead" friend who always agrees with your worst ideas? Or are you taking advice from the Creator of the universe? Retraining Your Spiritual Taste Buds Why don't we delight in God's Word the way we should? Because we've trained our souls to crave the spiritual equivalent of junk food. If you want to experience the blessing of God, you have to go through the discipline of retraining your heart. When you delight in His law and meditate on it day and night, you become: - Like a tree planted by flowing streams: Unshakable, deeply rooted, and constantly sustained. - Fruitful in every season: Bringing forth life, love, and character that actually lasts. - Prosperous through the trials: Not meaning you have the Midas touch, but possessing a deep, supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding, even in the darkest valleys. We have all fallen short. We have all been the sinner, the mocker, and the rebel. But Jesus Christ came, died on a cross, and rose again to pay the debt for our rebellion. When you place your faith and trust in Him, you are robed in His righteousness. You don't have to face ruin. You can stand in the assembly of the righteous—forgiven, restored, and filled with new life. Where do you stand today? Are you walking with the world, or are you walking with the Savior?

Marina and Jemma have found the one thing Trump hasn't ruined yet...oh wait, no, he's got to football too. This week the pair unpick his reverse Midas touch: one US player gets a red card, Trump gets on the blower to his snivelling little ring-kisser Infantino, and hey presto, the suspension vanishes. Then our hosts turn to the double standard that'll make your adrenal gland overwork: a masked Patriot Front march through DC gets a lovely police press release respecting their "right to peacefully express their views," while a 67-year-old Olympic canoeist faces ten years for touching a flap of peeling paint. Marina and Jemma also get into the Epstein files nobody in power will unredact, Kay Burley's most baffling moment, Farage versus Count Binface, Leila Cunningham insisting the CEO of Reform wasn't "politically active", AI machete fakery, and a wholesome choir with a filthy song.

Brian Will has owned 10 companies across five industries, made three exits worth over $500 million, and written four books — including two Wall Street Journal bestsellers. None of it was handed to him and the odds were very much against him. In this conversation with Dwayne Kerrigan, Brian unpacks the frameworks behind his success: the personal filter, the success ladder, and the $80 million decision he almost said no to. In this episode: The "I'm in" moment: Brian's business partner Steve asked him to borrow $66,000 more after nine months of zero revenue and $500,000 in losses — Brian's accountant, CMO, and COO all quit before he finally said yes, and the company sold for $80 million just 18 months later Why "failure leads to success" is a myth Brian calls out directly — it's learning from failure that leads to success, and most people skip that step entirely The success ladder framework: Brian started at step zero with no education, no backing, and no mentors — and why the only two ways to climb are to learn every painful lesson yourself or find someone who's already done it The personal filter concept: everything you've ever heard, read, and experienced creates a subconscious filter that accepts or rejects new information — and why people who seem to have the Midas touch aren't lucky, their brain just knows how to recognize success How Brian's abusive childhood created what he calls the "anger box" — and how that same fuel, once controlled, became his most powerful sales and leadership tool Why three years of counseling after his divorce was the moment he realized the only person he was still trying to prove anything to was himself Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Keep Moving Forward 00:15 - Podcast Intro 00:47 - Meet Brian Will 02:53 - Dumb Kids Hope Story 04:40 - Military Discipline Lessons 08:30 - Abuse, Anger, and Trauma 12:28 - Anger Box Control 13:35 - Learning From Failure 17:04 - Mentorship Strategy 17:59 - Steve and the Big Bet 19:40 - All In Decision 20:38 - Breakthrough and Exit 22:36 - Ego Surrender and Trust 26:46 - Vulnerability and Divorce 32:20 - Drowning Mind in Books 34:30 - Who Steve Was 35:27 - Equity Swap Origin Story 39:23 - Email Marketing Gold Rush 41:10 - Success Filter Framework 46:05 - Wrap Up and Next Episode Resources mentioned: I Give the Dumb Kids Hope, Dropout Multimillionaire, No: The Psychology of Sales and Negotiations, and The Invisible Multimillionaire — Brian Will's books How to Win Friends and Influence People — Dale Carnegie book Master Key to Riches — Napoleon Hill book The E-Myth Revisited — Michael Gerber book Blink — Malcolm Gladwell book Rich Dad Poor Dad — Robert Kiyosaki book Living Forever AI — Brian Will's current company: https://livingforeverai.com/ Quotes: “ Failure does not lead to success, ever, never, ever, ever.

We did $6 million, then 20, then 30, and then sold the company for $80 million 18 months later.” - Brian Will “ The only person that still thinks, or in my case, still thought that I was that kid laying in the yard crying after I got beat up by my stepdad was me. I was the guy that I did, I had to prove something to.” - Brian Will “ Failure will be inevitable at some point, and learning is optional." - Dwayne Kerrigan “ It's your personal filter that will determine whether you succeed or fail in life.” - Brian Will “ Most of the time, they quit right before they're about to make a breakthrough.

If you follow politics at all, your head must be on a swivel (and hurting) with all of the upheaval going in America and abroad. In many cases, promises were made but not kept which may be making you rethink some of your recent choices at the ballot box and even squirm a bit.Comedian JP Sears dissects these recent events and, like the deft, wise humorist he is, reminds us that giving our power as citizens way too easily on promises not delivered makes us the punchline of the joke, a lesson all of us can learn from as we create a better destiny for ourselves and the world this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about JP and his work on his website.

El rey Midas fue rico y pobre a la vez, pero además fue necio y no supo distinguir entre dos melodías, lo que le costó caro.
Most physicians have the majority of their wealth tied up in their practices, retirement accounts, or traditional investments. But what if there were ways to diversify using technology-driven strategies that don't require watching charts all day or reacting emotionally to market swings? In this episode of Bootstrap MD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming sits down with Jeff Sekinger, to discuss algorithmic trading and how physicians can gain exposure to alternative investment strategies while maintaining control over their assets. Jeff explains the fundamentals of algorithmic trading, the importance of diversification, and how automated systems can remove emotion and time constraints from trading decisions. The conversation explores why most retail traders struggle, how algorithmic systems are developed and tested, and why physicians should approach any investment opportunity with education and due diligence first. Jeff also introduces NURP's Midas gold trading strategy and shares why offering a risk-free demo account can help investors understand the process before committing capital. Whether you're a physician entrepreneur looking to diversify beyond your practice and retirement accounts or simply curious about alternative investment opportunities, this episode provides a practical introduction to algorithmic trading and portfolio diversification. Three Actionable Takeaways: Reduce Concentration Risk: Physicians often accumulate wealth primarily through their medical practices and retirement accounts. Diversifying into alternative investments may help reduce exposure to a single asset class. Use Technology to Remove Emotion: Algorithmic trading systems follow predefined rules, allowing investors to avoid emotional decision-making and time-intensive manual trading. Always Test Before You Invest: Before allocating capital to any investment strategy, understand how it works, review independently verified data, and consider using demo accounts to gain familiarity with the process. About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures. Hosted by Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, a successful physician, entrepreneur, and investor, the show delivers actionable insights on starting businesses, creating passive income, and navigating healthcare entrepreneurship. Featuring interviews with industry leaders, physicians, and experts in telemedicine and digital health, it's your guide to building a profitable, fulfilling career. Tune in weekly at http://bootstrapmd.com About the Guest: Jeff Sekinger is a finance entrepreneur and investor who has founded three companies focused on financial education, alternative investments, and algorithmic trading. He is the founder of ZeroPercent, a company specializing in financial education and funding solutions; Orca Capital, a digital asset hedge fund serving accredited investors; and NURP, a software and financial education platform that provides individuals access to algorithmic trading strategies while allowing them to maintain control of their own brokerage accounts. Jeff began investing at a young age and previously worked in asset management at one of the largest banking institutions in the United States before launching his entrepreneurial ventures. Through NURP, he aims to make institutional-grade quantitative trading tools more accessible to individual investors, helping busy professionals explore alternative investment strategies without the need to actively manage trades themselves.

En el complejo 'Dinastía', en una urbanización de lujo a las afueras de Kiev, hay cuatro mansiones, además de un edificio con spa, gimnasio y piscina. Ahora todo está embargado. Hay una investigación en torno a su construcción y el blanqueo de 9 millones de dólares, cuya sombra se acerca al presidente ucraniano Volodímir Zelenski, que por ahora no está oficialmente vinculado.La Oficina Nacional Anticorrupción de Ucrania y la Fiscalía Especializada Anticorrupción han conectado la construcción de este complejo de lujo con el caso Midas, una trama de mordidas en la empresa pública Energoatom, en el que habrían robado más de 100 millones de dólares.Y el caso es que entre los imputados hay dos ex altos cargos del entorno de Zelenski: el ex número dos del presidente ucraniano, Andriy Yermak y su ex viceprimer ministro Oleksey Chernyshov. Ambos dimitieron en noviembre. También Timur Míndich, un socio de negocios cercano a Zelenski que huyó al extranjero.Una de las mansiones era para Yermak, otra para Mindich, otra para Chernyshov... ¿y la cuarta? Unas grabaciones filtradas apuntan al presidente ucraniano.En el Kiev Independent han estado siguiendo el caso, y su editora adjunta Toma Istomina nos lo ha contado en este capítulo del Diario de Ucrania.Escuchar audio

This is one of the slower Saturday episodes—no announcements, no news. Just a piece of the book I'm writing, read and thought through out loud.It starts on Circe's island, where Odysseus's men have already been turned into pigs. It passes through Dante's hell, where the greedy push boulders forever, and through Midas's palace, where a father reaches for his daughter and finds cold metal. And it ends somewhere closer to home: the quiet withdrawal, the measured non-engagement, the parts of ourselves we've decided are too valuable or too vulnerable to share.Because here's the thing about Avarice: in its deepest expression, it was never about gold. It's a misdirected search for transcendence. We're not hoarding money, we're hoarding self. Time, warmth, attention, the willingness to be known. And the endpoint of all that protecting isn't wealth. It's isolation.Two questions sit at the center of this one:What are you unwilling to give? And what is that withholding costing the people who need you?If the episode does something to you, here's the assignment, which is also the argument: share it with one person you've been quietly withholding from.—ChadP.S. — Monday's episode is different. I have an announcement about the press, about what we're building, and about how you can be part of it. It's the most excited I've been about anything in a while. Come back Monday.

Richard Green is Director of Institutional and Ecosystem at Rootstock Labs, a core contributor to Rootstock, the Bitcoin sidechain that has been quietly running for eight years and now anchors a growing slice of institutional Bitcoin DeFi. Based in London, Green came to crypto through fifteen years in traditional finance — a decade at Bloomberg working with banks and high-frequency trading desks, followed by a stint at Circle building out the European stablecoin business — before going further down the Bitcoin rabbit hole when emerging-market clients made clear they wanted something more than a dollar wrapper. Why you should listen Green's central argument is that the digital gold narrative, while true, is incomplete and increasingly expensive to leave unchallenged. There is roughly $260 billion in Bitcoin sitting idle on corporate treasuries, ETF balance sheets and miner books, paying 10 to 50 basis points a year in custody fees and earning nothing. That, he says, is what pristine collateral looks like when it has nowhere productive to go. Rootstock's pitch is to change the denominator: keep the security model of Bitcoin, but give holders the ability to borrow against their stack, run it through tokenized real-world asset vaults, or deploy it into native yield strategies without selling a single satoshi. The first product out of the new institutional unit, launching in the next month, is a Bitcoin-collateralized loan aimed squarely at miners who are sitting on inventory but still need to pay the power bill. The proof points are no longer theoretical. Mercado Bitcoin recently deployed $20 million of tokenized private credit on Rootstock, with a $100 million target by April, giving Bitcoin holders Brazilian receivables and corporate debt exposure they would otherwise struggle to access. In Japan, where Green sees an unusually crypto-curious institutional base, Rootstock has partnered with Animoca Brands Japan to bring corporate treasury and BTCFi tooling to a market that historically follows rather than leads but is now reportedly seeing 80% of investors plan crypto allocations within the year. Midas, Hyperithm and other ecosystem builders are stacking institutional-grade vaults on top of the chain, with custody handled through the usual professional suspects — Fireblocks, Fordefi and Utila — and Green argues spreading risk across providers and protocols is the obvious lesson from a year of high-profile DeFi hacks. Where the conversation gets provocative is on what Bitcoin actually competes with. Green draws on Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan's framing of Bitcoin as an out-of-the-money call option on becoming a payment instrument, and argues that the real prize is the roughly half of global savings parked in fine art and real estate — illiquid stores of value that Bitcoin, once composable through chains like Rootstock, can simply do better. He is candid about the risks, too: concentration in a handful of ETFs and the dominance of Strategy as the largest non-Satoshi holder are not trivial, even if he thinks the diversification of providers is happening fast enough. His closing critique is one the institutional crowd will recognize — DeFi has an institutional-grade communications problem, and until protocols learn to handle incidents the way Circle handled its de-peg, the larger pools of capital will keep migrating to centralized custody. Stick around for his sketch of what a five-year transition to Bitcoin-backed mortgages and productive retail BTC actually requires.

I sat down with Patrick from Ampli live at ConsenSys in Miami for a wide-ranging conversation that ran nearly an hour, and for good reason. Patrick went from studying political science in Germany and France to becoming a crypto tokenomics advisor, and now co-founder of Ampli, a company building the security infrastructure for AI agents that manage money. We got into why blockchain was essentially built for AI before AI even existed, how Ampli's Agent Control Room lets fund managers discover, deploy, and control agents without ever handing over the keys, and why 90% of crypto exploits last year came down to human error rather than smart contract bugs. We also talked about the future of stablecoins as geopolitical tools, why DeFi is bottoming out like the post-dotcom era before a decade-long bull run, and what a world looks like where every phone has a personal banker inside it. This is one of those conversations packed with insight for founders, fund managers, and anyone paying attention to where finance is actually heading.

In this episode, Raj, Ashwin, and Eddie sit down with Dr. Vincent Rajkumar — Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic and Chair of the ECOG Myeloma Committee — for a clinically focused conversation on newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Topics span baseline workup, risk stratification, induction selection, transplant timing, MRD-directed decision-making, and maintenance strategy. The episode closes with a discussion of Open Medicine, a new medical education platform, and Dr. Rajkumar's ongoing advocacy on drug pricing reform.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDBaseline workup: 24-hour urine protein: It is important to obtain 24-hour urine protein with electrophoresis and immunofixation in all newly diagnosed patients — not for diagnosis, but to establish a baseline for long-term management and to distinguish M-protein from albuminuria. In patients where an FLC ratio ≥100 is the sole myeloma-defining criterion, a 24-hour urine Bence Jones protein ≥200 mg is part of the diagnostic threshold for treatment initiation. Myeloma cast nephropathy: when to biopsy: An involved FLC ≥50 mg/dL supports a presumptive diagnosis of cast nephropathy and treatment can begin without a kidney biopsy. Below this threshold — particularly if renal involvement is the sole myeloma-defining event — kidney biopsy is warranted to exclude light chain deposition disease, MPGN, or other unrelated disorders. It warrants aggressive early treatment (Dara-VCD or Dara-VD), starting even before bone marrow results are available when the diagnosis is clinically clear.Solitary plasmacytoma [with or without minimal bone marrow involvement]: Patients with ~10% clonal plasma cells technically meet criteria for myeloma, but management in this borderline zone warrants shared decision-making. Solitary plasmacytoma as sitting between smoldering myeloma and overt myeloma on the disease spectrum. Risk stratification: revised IMWG criteria: The new revision aimed to keep the high-risk designation to ≤15–20% of patients. Del 17p alone confers high-risk status. TP53 mutation without del 17p is exceedingly rare and FISH alone captures the vast majority of cases. All other cytogenetic abnormalities (t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), 1q gain, 1p deletion, biallelic 1p) require at least one co-occurring abnormality to define high risk. Elevated β2-microglobulin with normal renal function is retained as a proxy for high tumor burden. Emergent indications for treatment initiation: The three situations warranting urgent treatment are acute cast nephropathy (days matter for renal recovery), cord compression (surgery vs. radiation vs. systemic therapy determined by acuity), and hypercalcemia. Induction regimen selection: For fit, transplant-eligible patients, the preferred induction is a quadruplet — Dara-VRd or Isa-VRd — with dose adjustment as needed. Triplets (Dara-Rd or Isa-Rd) are reserved for those unable to tolerate a quadruplet even with dose reduction. Carfilzomib-based induction is not favored: head-to-head data show no benefit of KRd over VRd in NDMM, and the cost differential is substantial. Lenalidomide dosing: Starting dose should be individualized: 15 mg for patients over 75, those with small body habitus (
In Mike Papantonio's A Death in Arcadia (Arcade Publishing, 2026) Nicholas “Deke”Deketomis Returns to Face His Darkest Case Yet—And His Own Haunted Past When fifteen-year-old Trayvon Clapper is murdered by a guard at Camp B in Florida, his fringe-living mother and boyfriend come to Bergman-Deketomis to file a lawsuit against the facility. Details of the case trigger in Deke memories of his own troubled childhood. As a boy, Deke had no stable parents around him, so he lived with several different families over the years as he grew up, avoiding the foster care system. However, his best friend, Bucky, was not so fortunate. He, too, was killed in a similar facility… and Deke has carried within him a powerful guilt that he has never talked about to anyone, including his wife and children. Cara Deketomis, Deke's daughter, is a young lawyer at the firm also working on the case. She comes to recognize the pain her father is feeling but she does not have the ability to break through to the truth. An opportunity in Cara's personal life also hammers a wedge between father and daughter, adding more stress to the situation. Meanwhile, investigation into the case uncovers a hidden threat that could endanger everyone at the law firm. A corrupt Congressman, Bob Minds, and his shady colleague, Skyler Bannock, are “fixers” for Phoenix Industries, the parent company of Camp B and other child “protective” services facilities that do anything but that.
