We get into everything from the Democratic cover-up of Joe Biden's decline to the start of the Diddy trial, the fire at a 166-year-old plantation, and the selection of the new Pope — then we break down how these key astrological events have shown up in the collective. We also look ahead to Saturn's shift into Aries and unpack what that transit means for anyone entering a Saturn return, or any other significant Saturn transit. We rant. We reflect. We keep it real.

Gus Herlong is the CEO and Co-owner of Palmetto Garage Works, a multi-location auto service franchise group based in South Carolina. Starting with five distressed Midas stores in Columbia, he has grown the company to 34 locations across multiple states. His leadership has earned him recognition including the Tire Business Humanitarian of the Year Award, the IFA Franchisor of the Year Award, and the Midas Franchisee of the Year Award. Gus is also a key voice in the Midas dealer network, having served on the IMDA Board and as an advisor to Midas Corporate. In this episode… The automotive service industry is evolving rapidly, with franchise owners navigating shifting markets, NIL marketing trends, and workforce development. Many operators are finding success not just through expansion, but by creating deeper community ties and developing leadership within their teams. How can shop owners grow their businesses while staying grounded in their values and mission? According to Gus Herlong of Palmetto Garage Works, success comes from embracing hands-on leadership, learning from early failures, and staying deeply involved with both the community and team. From starting as an oil change tech to leading a 34-location franchise group, Gus has turned setbacks into stepping stones while investing in staff growth and community partnerships. He also uses NIL marketing with local college athletes to stand out in a competitive industry. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge welcomes Gus Herlong for a conversation about grassroots leadership, overcoming early business failures, and building a company culture that values authenticity and service. Gus shares insights on NIL marketing, expansion strategies, and the power of giving back.

I've got a PhD in stupid ideas.” “If the community trusts me with their cars, I need to be reinvesting in them too.” “Most people don't wish they were where I was — they wish they were where I am.” “My wife's been a saint — half our anniversary trips have been disguised store visits!” Action Steps:  Embrace hands-on leadership: Don't be afraid to work shoulder-to-shoulder with your team to understand ground-level needs.

Strap in because the latest episode of the RevLimiter is firing on all cylinders and 'confecting' all the stories from a big weekend of motorsport!We kicked things off under the Bahrain lights, where Oscar Piastri was cooler than a cucumber in the sand, delivering a textbook takedown of McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Some say it was domination, others say it was daylight robbery — either way, poor Lando looked like his spirit had been quietly escorted out of parc fermé. Meanwhile, Gorgeous George Russell was driving a wounded Mercedes but still managed to fend off Norris for P2. We're not saying George's defence was heroic... but somewhere, a Union Jack just fluttered with pride.Was it genuine pace, team strategy, or just a bit of well-timed confecting from the pit wall? We don't know, but it tasted sweet for Oscar either way.Back on home turf — well, close enough — it was a Kiwi cash grab in Taupō as Matt Payne cleaned up with two wins, the Jason Richards Trophy, and presumably a new savings account. Chaz Mostert kept it interesting by pinching one of the wins, but Payne was the local hero with the Midas touch.We also dive into Tony Quinn's bold call to rotate the New Zealand round between the country's four big tracks — because, as he puts it, NZ can only support one round a year, but why not let everyone have a turn?Plus, we round out the episode with the latest from overseas: NASCAR and IMSA winners get their dues, and Marc Márquez proves once again he's not just back — he's back on top in MotoGP.Catch all the banter, breakdowns and a few dodgy predictions on the RevLimiter. It's like a warm-up lap for your ears.

Above Photograph © Claudio Edinger When it comes to photography, Claudio Edinger has a Midas touch. Equally celebrated for his immersive photo series, the intimacy of his portraits, and his aerial views that conjure a sense of the eternal through selective focus, his compulsion for research drives adjustments to his photographic strategy from one project to the next. In today's show, we unpack the many facets of Claudio's storied career, from his arrival in New York and early documentation of Brooklyn's Hasidic community in the late 1970s to the environmental portraits he made inside Manhattan's infamous Chelsea Hotel, and beyond.  Learn the backstory to his fortuitous connection with master portraitist Philippe Halsman, and the influence this had on his photographic vocabulary. We also discuss Claudio's aerial imagery made from helicopters and drones, and debate the slippery slope between noteworthy content, image quality, and resolution. As a longtime disciple of meditation, Claudio's approach to photography is equally influenced by the underlying flow of energy essential to life on this planet, which led him to state, “I'm open to whatever the universe brings my way. But the universe has to conspire in your favor. My whole life has been like that. I've been guided. My intuition brings me to places, and the place drags me into it.” Guest: Claudio Edinger Episode Timeline: 3:03: Claudio's beginnings in photography while studying economics in Sao Paulo, and his first exhibit at the Sao Paulo Museum of Art. 4:55: A move to New York in 1976 and a two-year project on Brooklyn's Hasidic community. 8:42: Connecting with master portrait photographer Philippe Halsman, and how this expanded Claudio's vocabulary as a photographer. 15:35: A move to the Chelsea Hotel and a new photographic strategy to make environmental portraits of the building and its residents. 19:52: The influence of August Sander's work, and Claudio's pursuit of intimacy to create images with universal meaning. 25:22: The organic path of Claudio's photographic approach, and how he developed his selective focus technique.  28:15: Episode Break 29:06: The predictable visual effect of a Hasselblad's square frame, combined with a tripod and flash for portraits of patients in a Brazilian insane asylum. 33:06: Using the same techniques to capture the insanity inside an institution, as well as to photograph the institutionalized insanity of Brazilian Carnival.  37:51: Claudio's assignment work, plus his time as a New York paparazzo and the lessons this taught him.  39:28: Claudio's experience as a war photographer in El Salvador, and the urgency of living connected to war.  43:42: Shifting to a 4x5 Toyo camera to further explore the tilt-shift look of selective focus.   48:57: The shortcomings of large format that forced Claudio to shift to digital and then discover aerial photography.   54:17: Comparing aerial photos from a helicopter with those made from a drone, plus Claudio's thoughts on viewing the world from the point of view of eternity. Guest Bio: Claudio Edinger is one of Brazil's preeminent photographers. After studying economics at Mackenzie University in São Paulo in the early 70s, he turned his attention to photography, and he hasn't stopped since.  Edinger moved to New York City in 1976, and during the 20 years he spent in the US, he completed immersive photo essays about the Hasidic community of Brooklyn, the denizens of Manhattan's Chelsea Hotel, and habitués of LA's Venice Beach. He also freelanced for Brazilian and North American publications such as Veja, Time, Life, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times Magazine, among many others.  The author of more than twenty books, Edinger's photographs have been collected worldwide and exhibited by institutions such as New York's International Center of Photography, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Maison Europeénne de la Photographie in Paris, and the São Paulo Museum of Art, to name but a few. Edinger has received many honors for his work, including the Ernst Haas Award, the Hasselblad Award, the Higashikawa Award, and the Leica Medal of Excellence, which he received twice.  Always seeking new approaches to his work, Edinger has explored a wide range of camera formats and photographic techniques over the course of his career. In 2000, he began working with a large format camera, using selective focus to approximate human vision, and in 2015, he started an exploration of aerial photography—a theme that continues to this day.

L'expression "riche comme Crésus" est utilisée depuis des siècles pour désigner une immense fortune. Mais qui était Crésus, et pourquoi est-il devenu le symbole absolu de la richesse ? Pour le comprendre, il faut plonger dans l'histoire du royaume de Lydie, en Asie Mineure, au VIe siècle avant notre ère.Crésus, dernier roi de LydieCrésus règne sur la Lydie entre 595 et 546 av. J.-C. Son royaume, situé dans l'actuelle Turquie, est prospère grâce à une ressource précieuse : l'or du fleuve Pactole. Selon la légende, le roi Midas aurait lavé ses mains dans ce fleuve, lui donnant ainsi la capacité de transporter des paillettes d'or. Grâce à cette richesse naturelle, Crésus frappe les premières monnaies d'or standardisées de l'histoire, facilitant le commerce et renforçant son influence.Sous son règne, la Lydie devient un centre économique majeur, attirant les plus grands artisans et penseurs de l'époque, dont le philosophe Solon, venu d'Athènes.La rencontre avec Solon : une leçon sur le bonheurUn jour, Crésus invite Solon à sa cour et lui demande : "Qui est l'homme le plus heureux du monde ?" S'attendant à être cité, il est surpris lorsque Solon évoque d'autres hommes, non pas riches, mais ayant connu une belle vie et une mort honorable. Solon lui rappelle alors une vérité fondamentale : "Nul ne peut être déclaré heureux avant sa mort". Une mise en garde qui prendra tout son sens plus tard…La chute de Crésus : un destin tragiqueFort de sa puissance, Crésus décide d'attaquer l'Empire perse de Cyrus le Grand en consultant l'oracle de Delphes. L'oracle lui prédit que s'il part en guerre, "il détruira un grand empire". Confiant, il attaque, mais c'est son propre royaume qui tombe en 546 av. J.-C.Fait prisonnier par Cyrus, Crésus est condamné au bûcher. Mais au moment des flammes, il s'écrie "Solon ! Solon ! Solon !". Intrigué, Cyrus arrête l'exécution et Crésus lui raconte la sagesse du philosophe. Impressionné, Cyrus lui accorde la vie sauve et en fait son conseiller.Un symbole éternel de richesse et d'éphéméritéCrésus incarne à la fois la prospérité absolue et la fragilité du destin. Son nom est resté gravé dans l'histoire, rappelant que la fortune ne garantit ni le bonheur, ni la sécurité. Voilà pourquoi, encore aujourd'hui, on dit "riche comme Crésus" ! Hébergé par Acast.

Thomas Winmill, manager of the Midas Fund, discusses how uncertainties over tariffs, trade wars and geo-politics have help boost gold prices by more than 40 percent in the last year — and mining-company stocks by even more — and yet the current level of concern is going to help precious metals go even higher from here. He explains why the higher prices are a particular boon for the miners, making them the market sector he thinks has the most potential moving forward. Dan Brown, director of consumer product management at KeyBank talks about the firm's recent research which showed that Americans have levels of financial stress which may not be fully warranted, contradicting other studies — including ones discussed recently on the show — by showing that 45 percent of respondents are confident they could manage a $2,000 unexpected expense. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, looks to the newest bond offering from the oldest mutual fund company — one of its first ventures into running exchange-traded funds — as his ETF of the Week. Plus, in the Market Call, Wasif Latif, president/chief investment officer at Sarmaya Partners — manager of the new Sarmaya Thematic ETF — talks about the concepts and ideas that he thinks will move the market next.

The English band Wunderhorse now have two albums under that name, although the first of them, 2022's Cub, was essentially a solo album by vocalist and songwriter Jacob Slater. Their latest, called Midas, came out this past fall to rave reviews and is very much a portrait of a band who can capture a visceral feeling in their recorded music that is "very imperfect, very live, very raw; no frills". Slater and the band take you where “Something is coming but you don't know what it is and you can't stop it,” (Black Arts PR). Wunderhorse plays in-studio.  Set list: 1.
