This week on The Exit: Suleman “Suli” Ali was introduced to the world of business M&A when he was just eight years old helping his father find and buy their family's first business. However, it wasn't until years later into his early 20s and his first job at Microsoft that he determined that corporate life was not for him and he answered his calling to a life of entrepreneurship. During this time, the Facebook app marketplace was in its early stages and he went all in on becoming a leader in the Facebook app space. He and his team would go on to build and exit two mobile gaming businesses, Esgut (acquired by SGN) and then TinyCo (acquired by Jam City). Two exits and decades of experience later in building both bootstrapped and VC-backed businesses, he emphasizes the importance of building businesses that will continue to perform through increased competition and marketing costs. Through it all, he hopes business owners will do what he wishes he did for himself: to enjoy the journey as you're building and growing the business, and not just at the exit. For more details and insights from his entrepreneurial journey, listen to the latest episode of The Exit. Suli Ali is a serial investor and entrepreneur who has started and sold 2 startups with Esgut being acquired by SGN, and TinyCo being acquired by Jam City. Suli has been an angel investor in over 100 startups and LP in 25+ venture capital funds. Through Ali Capital, along with his brother Moiz, Suli has a passion for investing with founders who see a future that few others can see.

Het jaar dat Osmium - de zwaarste podcast in het Nederlands - bijna fataal werd, is inmiddels zelf ook nagenoeg ten einde. Babbelaars Niels en Pim etaleren daarom traditiegetrouw hun eigen wansmaak via hun persoonlijke jaarlijstjes. Na ruim vier jaar podcasten zou je verwachten dat ze elkaars muzieksmaak door en door kennen, maar niets blijkt minder waar. Wie geniet bijvoorbeeld van lesbische country? Wie steekt een vurig pleidooi af voor dubstep? Wie luistert per ongeluk naar christelijke heavy metal? Wiens onderzoek staat in de nationale kranten? Al deze ontdekkingen worden gedaan in deze aflevering. Er blijkt ook bar weinig broederschap te zijn rond deze kerstdagen. Waar de één louter uitvoerig in Osmium besproken concertavonden bovenaan zijn lijstje met favoriete optredens zet, staat de ander hier geen seconde bij stil. Er wordt ook nog eens een luistertip verboden omdat die band de vierkwartsmaat niet zelf uitgevonden zou hebben. Het is kommer en kwel, maar zeuren blijkt toch een verbindende factor. Deze keer zijn de minachtende pretentie van festivalorganisatoren en verkwanselde nalatenschap van bands de klos. Om er zeker van te zijn dat er in de volgende aflevering ook genoeg te zeuren is, wordt opgeroepen om te stemmen voor de ZM Jaarlijst en om categorieën voor de Osmium Awards aan te dragen. Met beeldmateriaal van Niek van de Vondervoort en muziek van King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, JPEGMAFIA en Danny Brown.

Can you make money by running fewer ads? Gaming OG Adam Jaffe says yes. In this Growth Masterminds, we chat about bad ads, bad ad experiences, and how not to run ads in your games and apps. We also chat about the declining ROI of increasing numbers of ads in your app. Adam was formerly with Jam City, was the CEO of Tenko Games, is a former CMO of an edtech company, sits on advisory boards for multiple companies including Dataset and INCRMTL ... and is now founder and CEO of Mega Studio, a gaming agency that designs, builds, analyzes, and monetizes games.

The audio version of our Issue 142 cover story, featuring Jam City.Jam City's 2012 debut album rerouted UK club music, but a series of stylistic heel-turns and A-list collaborations in the years since have seen the self-proclaimed postmodern baby live up to his own billing. Now, the producer is returning to his roots to celebrate the transcendent power of a messy night out on his next record, 'EFM'.Words by Will Pritchard and narration by Keziah Wenham-Kenyon.

*excerpt from production notes, TCD chapter 1371: Preamble - use a bit of the Zoom audio from Tuesday, the audio quality isn't great but it sets the scene and if it turns out the episode is late for the purples it will add credibility to the excuse.2: Intro - try and 'Christmas' it up a bit, after all it's half way through December3: Main Section - we might be struggling for time a bit this week, so maybe see if we can riff on the patreon feedback for a bit. Speedway is always great filler if we are struggling for inspiration, the purples love a bit of speedway. If all else fails chuck in an erection joke.4: Diary - what with Gordon, Nicolas and Angela it all gets a bit Ben Elton this week...'little bit of politics, little bit of politics'. 5: Wrap - push the livestream a bit, and remember it's Saturday. Oh and see if we can do a bit of product placement for Paddington, somewhere close to the venue would work well. Might want to tee up the Christmas episode...6: Crooncast - recommend watching "Harold and Maude" this Christmas7: (don't forget to pop those links in the show notes)8: Finish with a limerick There once was an addled old brewer, Whose brain cells were fewer and fewer, 'quit drinking the day, He woke up in the hay, In a puddle of pee and manure.

Our Guest this week is Andrew Green, Group SVP of Operation and Growth at Stillfront Group. Stillfront is one of the preeminent mobile game publishers consisting of 20 studios across Europe, North America, and MENA. This week we discuss the trend of mega-publishers in mobile gaming. We describe the advantages gained by joining a number of developers under one roof and discuss how to operationalize a large game portfolio effectively. We weigh the pros and cons of a “city-state” vs. command economy model for large publishing organizations and describe how ultimately it's critical for developers to feel autonomy and ownership over their projects to find outsized success. Plus, Netflix is breaking into gaming, Jam City cancels its SPAC, Apple warns of slowing growth, and Polygon Studio set up a $100M crypto gaming fund.

Welcome to Massively Affected, where I, Josh Silverman, bring on a guest and ask them the not-so-simple question: Why Mass Effect? This week I'm joined by Kelsie Mhoon, who you may know as a Narrative and Content Designer for Jam City, and on Death Carnival. On this week's episode, we talked about the most important part of the _Mass Effect _series: the companions. The journey we take with our companions defines our experience across the Milky Way and Andromeda, shaping not just who our Commander Shepard and Ryder become, but their actions across the universe. The missions may sometimes be memorable, but the moments we have had with Thane's debut entrance, Legion saving Shepard about the Reaper vessel, or Tali's first time seeing her homeworld are what set in stone the wonderous galaxy sandbox that we get to play in. The companions are what offer the replayability of BioWare's classic franchises, and offer players the building blocks to create their own narratives. If you enjoyed my conversation with Kelsie Mhoon, make sure to give her a follow on Twitter. Make sure you come back next week as I'll be chatting with both Kenneth Shepard and Eric Van Allen of NormandyFM. (There will be two episodes next week, to be clear.) If this is your first episode, make sure to check out the full backlog of episodes found on But Why Tho. As always, my thanks to Adam Leonhardt for his brilliant work making the Massively Affected logo, Julian Villarreal for his beautifully composed theme song for the show, and Mark B. Donica for helping me out by editing the back two-thirds of this season!

Notes from Tom:What is the biggest mistake organizations make around employee experience? When we asked Billie Shipley of Jam City, her answer was a bit of a surprise. She didn't talk about benefits, compensation, or a workplace teeming with happy dogs. Instead, she said that employers ignore the full life cycle of an employee—which includes their post-employment experience. When you bring people into your workplace, there are many ways to impact their experience in a positive way. For some people, internal employer branding and marketing is a great way to develop an inclusive environment. But for some, Billie says, the rose-colored glasses approach just doesn't make sense.People see through smoke and mirrors right away, and authenticity begets loyalty. On the flip side, how honest should companies be? Billie says there's a fine line to being authentic with the reflection of your business and that doesn't mean slapping your token LGBTQ+, woman in tech, or black employee on your marketing campaigns as not everyone wants to be the face representing your D&I initiatives. In the same spirit, EVP elements like your company values play a huge role in how you should go about executing your employee engagement plans. Billie believes that “the values you prioritize are up to you. The key is selecting values with intention, and ensuring that they inform every decision you make as a company.” (And that includes the inevitable choices your employees make to leave your org.)When it comes to off-boarding, this experience is often overlooked by employers for a number of reasons. Billie's advice on how to offboard correctly is simple and straightforward:- Be a good listener: Never skip the exit interview. It's the moment when people feel most empowered to be honest, at least when they're talking to HR. Clear metrics on employee engagement are tough to get, but this is a fantastic way to track employee churn and to spot patterns in the reasons why people leave.- Ask management exit interview questions: Someone who's quitting might tell their manager they're leaving for an exciting new job, but tell HR that they've burned out due to unreasonable expectations from management. Gut-check the answers you get by asking a departing employee's manager the same questions you asked them: Why do you think this person is leaving? What do you think they'd suggest we improve?- Don't dismiss your alumni network: You'd be surprised by how often people will “boomerang” back to a former employer, often after they've leveled up their abilities elsewhere. Even if they don't come back to work for you, they represent your brand out in the world—for better or worse. The key takeaway? Don't burn any bridges. Staying on good terms with alumni means more positive messaging about your company will circulate in the industry. And don't forget about the “PayPal Mafia,” former PayPal employees who went on to do great things. Your company name attached to someone's future success is a rising tide that lifts everyone.Mentioned in this episode:Basecamp Blowup: Banning Politics At Work Prompts Over A Dozen Employees To QuitMeet the PayPal Mafia, The Richest Group of Men in Silicon ValleySee Also:TTR, Episode 1 - How to Out-Hire the Competition From a Global Talent PoolTTR, Episode 2 -  You're Not a Billion-Dollar Tech Giant so Don't Recruit Like Them
