In this episode of Geek Freaks Interview, I'm joined by comic creator Kyle Higgins, the visionary behind Radiant Black and the ever-expanding Massive-Verse. Kyle dives into how he built a creator-owned superhero universe at Image Comics and walks us through the evolution of Radiant Black, the challenges of dual timelines in Catalyst War, and the collaborative process behind Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, and Inferno Girl Red. We also talk about the audio book, animated promos, and his thoughts on live-action vs. animation adaptations. Whether you're new to the Massive-Verse or a longtime fan, this conversation is a deep look into one of comics' most ambitious storytelling worlds. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and welcome to Kyle Higgins 00:26 What is the Massive-Verse? 01:16 Radiant Black and its millennial superhero tone 03:34 The structure and accessibility of the Massive-Verse 05:07 Audiobook updates and voice talent reveals 06:59 Animated promos and creative marketing 08:03 The origin of Radiant Black and its influences 11:14 How Power Rangers and Toku storytelling shaped the series 14:15 Managing canon and creative direction in a multi-title universe 15:50 Writing dual timelines for Catalyst War 19:14 How the fan vote shaped the story's direction 24:06 The "Rebuild Era" and aftermath world-building 27:33 Proliferation of 001 tech and rising threats 30:19 Rogue Sun's new direction and layered family dynamics 33:37 Appreciation for the design and narrative tone of Rogue Sun 34:10 Live-action vs. animation: which is best for Radiant Black? 36:44 Navigating rights, control, and studio offers 40:28 Where to find the comics and meetups with the team Key Takeaways: The Massive-Verse is a creator-owned, shared superhero universe with interconnected titles that can also stand alone. Radiant Black explores modern adulthood and friendship through a fresh superhero lens, inspired by Power Rangers and 90s nostalgia. The dual timeline storytelling in Catalyst War was one of the hardest yet most rewarding challenges of Kyle's career. The team is exploring creative and immersive ways to promote the comics, including animated promos and an audiobook with a star-studded voice cast. Live-action adaptations are possible, but only if the creators are in full control of the production. The new "Rebuild Era" reflects the consequences of superhero battles and explores what comes after the big events—something rarely addressed in comics. Rogue Sun is shifting its spotlight with a new lead character, deepening its themes of family and legacy. Quotes: “I want this to be a superhero book that celebrates being a fan of superheroes.” – Kyle Higgins “You're either a Nathan or a Marshall... and you have a friend that's the other one.” – Frank “Animation's great. But if we're doing an adaptation, we want full control. No compromises.” – Kyle Higgins Call to Action: Enjoyed the episode?

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. Today, we're excited to welcome back a familiar voice on the show—operations expert Armin Alispahic. Armin is here to bring us up to speed on a recent phenomenon in the Vendor space — the availability of true channel P&L analysis. We'll explore why this trend is only showing up now and what it means for how brands assess their business with Amazon. KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Armin discuss: Understanding Vendor Profitability on Amazon: Two main metrics: Net PPM (Net Pure Profit Margin) and Internal Brand P&L. The hidden third factor—Amazon's internal costs (fulfillment, packaging, and shipping expenses). Why Profitability Analysis Is Becoming Crucial: Amazon is tightening vendor margins, requiring brands to have a clear view of their own and Amazon's profitability. Increase in CRaP (Can't Realize a Profit) items, making it essential to assess profitability at the SKU level. Technology Driving P&L Insights for Vendors: Amazon's 2023 API improvements have enabled better data access for vendor P&L analysis. New tools now provide automated, SKU-level profitability reports. Key Factors That Influence Vendor Profitability: Fixed Costs: Vendor terms (co-op, damage allowances, freight). Variable Costs: Chargebacks, shortages, advertising, and promotional spend. Operational Efficiency: Packaging, fulfillment optimization, and inventory management. How Brands Can Leverage P&L Insights: Smarter Assortment Decisions: Identifying SKUs that drive profitability vs. those that hurt margins. Optimizing Advertising Spend: Allocating budget toward high-margin products rather than just high-volume ones. Better Negotiations with Amazon: Using data to drive conversations in annual vendor negotiations (AVNs). Cross-Team Collaboration: Breaking down silos between marketing, finance, and operations.

This week our host Brandi Starr is joined by Lillian Pierson, a trailblazer in AI-driven growth and strategic marketing. Meet Lillian Pierson, a global authority on leveraging AI for business success. With over a decade of experience, she has not only empowered 10% of the Fortune 100 companies but also served as a fractional CMO for high-growth tech brands. As the author of "The Data & AI Imperative," Lillian's expertise has been a guiding light for numerous startups aiming to scale with data-driven strategies. In this episode of Revenue Rehab, Brandi and Lillian dive deep into the world of AI agents and their role in revolutionizing marketing efficiency. Lillian shares insights on harnessing data and AI to drive marketing-led growth, while also exploring the nuances of identifying AI use cases to maximize business impact. Join them in unraveling the future of AI in marketing and uncover practical steps for revenue leaders to embrace these transformative technologies. Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers: Topic #1 The Proliferation of AI Experts [00:01:59] "A lot of people are branding themselves as AI experts... I've been working in the data analytics, data science, AI space for over a decade... after ChatGPT... everyone and their mother comes and like the whole Industry just changed overnight, and there's like a million AI experts," Lillian Pierson remarks. This reflects the saturation of self-proclaimed expertise in AI without the depth of experience or understanding required. Topic #2 The Role of AI Agents in Marketing Efficiency [00:06:15] "Almost every revenue leader is looking for more efficient ways to grow their business... I can speak on how to use data and analytics and AI... for marketing-led growth in a more efficient way. So less basically less man hours, less faster, higher-quality outputs sort of thing," Lillian explains. She introduces the concept of AI agents as tools for enhancing marketing operations and reducing the workload on human resources. Topic #3 Embracing Multi-Agent AI Systems [00:08:19] "Multi AI agent systems... where the rubber hits the road. I'm running them in my business... I started searching and within... I found this solution within 10 minutes," Lillian shares. She highlights the power and potential of multi-agent AI systems to transform business processes, using her personal implementation as a case study to showcase their impact on efficiency and innovation in marketing strategies. What's One Thing You Can Do Today Lillian's ‘One Thing' is to explore the possibilities of AI tools for various use cases within your business. “Go to future tools, and it basically will have all the AI tools you can imagine for all the different use cases, and start exploring and looking what's in there, and if they've got tools in there that can support your use case, and then just do some very quick and lean iterative testing to see if this might be something you could start adopting now.” This approach allows you to discover early-moving AI solutions that are not heavily hyped and ensure they align with your business objectives. Buzzword Banishment Lillian's Buzzword to Banish is the phrase 'AI expert.' She wants to banish this term because she feels it is overused and often misrepresents the level of expertise individuals have, especially following the release of ChatGPT version 4. Many people claim to be AI experts after minimal experience, which diminishes the credibility of those who have dedicated significant time and effort to understanding and applying AI technologies.

In this podcast I explore the diverse perspectives of brain tumours, from their pathology and clinical manifestations to their complications and management. The podcast discusses the common primary brain tumours, particularly highlighting the usually benign meningioma, and the typically aggressive glioblastoma. I illustrate these themes with such graphic illness memoirs as The Iceberg by Marion Coutts, All in My Head by Jessica Norris, and Difficult Gifts by Courtney Burnett. I also discussed secondary brain tumours using the illustrative memoir of Barbara Lipska titled The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind. These memoirs helped to demonstrate the sinister and the subtle symptoms of brain tumours, their investigations, and their treatments – chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. This theme also explored the risk factors for brain tumours, and their investigational treatments. I also explored the fascinating history of brain tumour surgery which chronicled the contributions of such pioneering neurosurgeons as William McEwan, Rickman Godlee and Victor Horsley, and I cited such accounts as that of Andrew Wickens titled A History of the Brain, and that of Michael Aminoff titled Victor Horsley.

In this illuminating episode of the #SiblingsToo podcast, hosted by Nancy Morris, Anais Vanvliet returns to discuss her groundbreaking research on the experiences of non-abused, non-abuser siblings within families affected by child sexual abuse. Anais shares her passion for highlighting the often-overlooked impacts on these siblings, driven by her personal and professional commitment to the subject matter. Nancy and Anais delve into the critical need for more focused research and policy changes to address the gaps in support systems. Diving deeper, Anais outlines her research's core questions, which explore both the experiences of these siblings and the current service provisions—or lack thereof—for them in Canada, particularly in Quebec and New Brunswick. She highlights the unique challenges and emotional impacts these siblings face, including feelings of isolation and jealousy, and the importance of trauma-informed approaches when engaging with them. Anais also touches on the broader conversation around sibling relationships in the context of family violence, emphasizing the need for comprehensive support systems and policy advocacy. About our guest, Anais Vanvliet: Anais Vanvliet is a PhD candidate in the School of Social Work at McGill University, focusing on the experiences and support needs of siblings in households where child sexual abuse (CSA) has occurred. Anais brings a unique perspective to her research with her lived experience as a sibling of survivors and her professional background as a trained social worker in sexual violence. Her work aims to enhance awareness, policy, and support systems for siblings affected by family violence in Canada. Key Takeaways: * The sibling dynamic in CSA-affected households is under-researched, leading to insufficient support for non-abused, non-abuser siblings. * Anais aims to fill this research gap by focusing on these siblings' experiences and potential support needs. * The impacts on these siblings can mirror those of the survivors, with additional unique challenges like feelings of exclusion. * Current service provisions often overlook these siblings, highlighting a need for advocacy and policy changes. * Anais's research seeks to provide data-driven insights to improve awareness and service provision for siblings affected by CSA and family violence. Notable Quotes: 1. "All siblings in the household can be deeply impacted by sibling sexual abuse or child sexual abuse generally, even if they're not directly involved." 2. "There's really no research or very, very, very little on the experiences of siblings surrounding child sexual abuse in a family." 3. "My work hopefully will help to kind of fill those gaps." 4. "If someone is missing in the conversation, the conversation is missing." 5. "The timing is right to do this work because in Canada, we are slowly starting to pay closer attention to siblings in the context of family violence."

On December 20, tragedy struck Magdeburg's Christmas market when a black SUV ploughed through holiday shoppers. Four women and a nine-year-old boy died, while 200 others were injured, including seven Indians. The suspect, Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist, has been arrested. He had been granted asylum in Germany in 2016 and was critical of the “Islamism of Europe.” He is also a staunch supporter of the far-right and anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. And Nancy Faeser, Germany's interior minister, said after the attack that he was “obviously Islamophobic”. So, what do we know of this man, and was this attack political? And, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz faces backlash over alleged security lapses, as Saudi Arabia had flagged Al-Abdulmohsen's radical views as early as 2007 and had requested extradition. Germany refused, fearing for his safety. So, why did Germany ignore Saudi warnings? In this episode of Geeta's World, our host, Anna Priyadarshini, and the foreign affairs editor at India Today, TV Today Network, Geeta Mohan, discuss! Produced by Anna Priyadarshini Sound Mix by Nitin Rawat Chapters: 7:47 — The curious case of the accused 13:24 — Only AFD can save Germany? 19:06 — Berlin freezing asylum applications from Syrians 21:50 — Why did Germany ignore Saudi's alerts? 29:57 — Rise of Islamist terror in Europe 39:21 — Proliferation of the far-right in Europe

And yet Islam is viewed by many as just being another religion.Some erroneously teach that the god of Islam and Jehovah God are one in the same. Don't be deceived. They are not one in the same.Rapes and sexual assaults continue rampantly in the name of Allah.

Steve Goreham is an informative and engaging speaker, delivering compelling and provocative programs to businesses, universities, and diverse organizations. Steve is an independent scholar, researcher, and futurist in the fields of energy and environmental policy, as well as a former engineer and business executive with 30 years of experience at Fortune 100 and private companies. He's Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and a policy advisor to The Heartland Institute. Steve is author of four books on energy, climate change, sustainability, and public policy with over 100,000 copies in print. In this episode, Steve Goreham discusses the controversies and outcomes surrounding the recent COP 29 climate conference, and criticizes the effectiveness and practicality of current climate policies and renewable energy initiatives. He argues that global efforts to curb CO2 emissions and switch to renewable energy have largely been ineffective, costly, and sometimes counterproductive, citing examples such as the increase in extreme weather-exposed renewable installations and the significant electrical demands posed by emerging technologies like AI. Goreham also predicts a future pushback against these green policies, driven by their economic and practical shortcomings, leading to a return to more reliable and low-cost energy sources. 00:00 Global Meat Consumption Trends 00:13 Introduction to Steve Goreham and COP 29 00:53 Controversies and Outcomes of COP 29 02:43 The Futility of COP Conferences 03:00 The Reality of Global Energy Consumption 03:46 Wealth Transfer and Climate Aid 05:29 The Impracticality of Net Zero Goals 08:31 Challenges with Renewable Energy 11:41 The Future of Global Energy 16:05 Europe's Energy Crisis 20:02 The Viability of Alternative Fuels 24:38 The High Cost of Sustainable Aviation Fuel 24:51 Mandates and Loss of Freedom 26:28 California's Controversial Policies 28:37 The Reality of Renewable Energy 31:07 Global Energy Crisis and Blackouts 42:30 The Future of Nuclear Energy 44:07 The Proliferation of Climate Laws 46:05 Conclusion and Final Thoughts https://www.stevegoreham.com/ https://x.com/stevegoreham ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts (plus transcripts of recent podcasts): https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries About Tom Nelson: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://x.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

Wie immer beginnen wir den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einer Diskussion über einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Als Erstes sprechen wir darüber, wie die Starlink-Technologie, die entscheidend für den Sieg der Ukraine im Krieg gegen Russland ist, über Schwarzmarktkanäle in russische Hände gelangt ist. Anschließend diskutieren wir über den diesjährigen Friedensnobelpreisträger, eine japanische Organisation von Atomwaffengegnern, die sich für eine atomwaffenfreie Welt einsetzt. Wir bleiben auch in unserer Story aus dem Thema Wissenschaft bei den Nobelpreisen und sprechen über den Physik-Nobelpreis, der für Forschungsarbeiten verliehen wurde, die die KI-Revolution eingeleitet haben. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über eine kulinarische „Revolution“: Pop-Star Dua Lipa hat ein neues Getränk kreiert – Coca-Cola mit Essiggurkensaft. Weiter geht es mit dem zweiten Teil unseres Programms, „Trending in Germany“. Wir sprechen über den Vorschlag, neue Nummernschilder für mittelgroße Städte mit mehr als 20.000 Einwohnern einzuführen. Dies könnte 320 neue Nummernschilder zur Folge haben. Und wir befassen uns mit einem neuen Trend, der aus Finnland nach Deutschland gekommen ist: Hobby Horsing. Bei dieser Sportart imitieren die Teilnehmer – in erster Linie junge Mädchen – mit Hilfe von Steckenpferden die Bewegungen von Pferden. Es gibt gemischte Reaktionen. Während die einen Hobby Horsing als komisch abtun, schätzen andere den Sport, weil er die kreative körperliche Betätigung fördert.

Shortly after the turn of the last century, the cellulosic fire time/temperature curve was developed to assess the performance and safety of building materials and passive fire resistive materials. It was the cutting edge for its time. But, according to Chris Burst, the composition and contents of our built environment today prove its time has run out. Also in the episode, Toby isn't sure he's never seen a ghost, and Chris tells a bad joke.

In it, world-renowned nuclear and aerospace engineer Dr. Robert Zubrin explains how nuclear power works and how much it has to offer humanity. He debunks the toxic falsehoods that have been spread to dissuade us from using it by variously the ignorant, the fearful, the fanatical, and by cynical political operatives bought and paid for by competing interests. He tells about revolutionary developments in the field, including new reactor types that can be cheaply mass produced, that cannot be made to melt down no matter how hard their operators try, that use a new fuel called thorium far more plentiful than uranium, and still more advanced systems, employing thermonuclear fusion - the power that lights the sun to extract more energy from a gallon of water than can be obtained from 300 gallons of gasoline. He tells about the bold entrepreneurs - a totally different breed from the government officials who created the existing types of nuclear reactors - who are leading this revolution. 1952 ESTERN AUSTRALIA TEST.
