Mark Tluszcz had the career most people would chase: a top consulting job, rapid success, and a clear path forward. But eight years in, he made a move very few would dare to make. He left his high-paying job to start his own firm, faced hundreds of rejections while raising capital, and built Mangrove Capital from scratch. That same contrarian mindset led him to back companies others overlooked, becoming an early investor in Skype and later Chairman of Wix. In this episode, Mark joins Ilana to share how he invested early in Skype, spotted Wix before it became a global company, and why he turned down a $400 million acquisition offer. He also breaks down how to build conviction, embrace rejection, and find opportunities where others see risk. Mark Tluszcz is the co-founder and CEO of Mangrove Capital Partners and chairman of Wix, one of the world's leading website-building platforms. He is widely regarded as one of Europe's most influential venture capitalists, known for his early investments in Skype and Wix. In this episode, Ilana and Mark will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (05:36) Growing Up Across Multiple Cultures (09:09) Leaving Corporate Consulting to Build His Own Firm (13:58) Building Mangrove Capital During the Internet Boom (20:54) How to Keep Going After Hundreds of Nos (27:25) How Skype Evolved Beyond Music (36:47) Staying Humble After a Massive Win (43:08) Discovering Wix and Rethinking Venture Capital (50:33) Turning Down a $400M Deal: The Wix Story (57:41) Building Resilience Through Honest Conversations (01:01:14) Spotting the Next Wave of AI Opportunity (01:10:57) The Founder Mindset That Actually Lasts Mark Tluszcz is the co-founder and CEO of Mangrove Capital Partners, a Luxembourg-based venture capital firm he built from the ground up after leaving Arthur Andersen in 2000. He was one of the first investors in Skype, where Mangrove's $2 million investment reportedly returned $200 million, and he has served as chairman of Wix, where an $8 million investment reportedly yielded $700 million.

In this episode, I am chatting with Megan Arevalo, who lives in Michigan with her husband and two children, who are three and eight. After initially homeschooling, Megan came to unschooling after her daughter's burnout, when she realised she needed to focus entirely on connection and wellbeing. Megan talks about the subsequent autism diagnoses and her own path from feeling like she had to hold everything together to understanding her own neurodivergence. And we talk about what it looks like to embrace connection over control, let go of perfectionism, and keep learning from our children. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Eric Denis grew up in Quebec and is the technical operator of machines at Island Sea Farms. Melissa Steblyk comes from Alberta, is a substitute teacher at the Cortes Island School, and also manages the Gorge Marina. Last May, they launched a moped rental business called Cortes Cruiser in the Gorge. It didn't start out that way. Melissa Steblyk: “Eric's got three kids, and his oldest is almost 16. We were thinking a scooter would be a great option for him when he gets his license.” Eric Denis: “In March, we bought that first bike. It was one of those Yamaha BWS—just a little bit of a beater. It was for my kids, so it was like, ‘We'll fix it up.'” The Vision for Cortes Cruiser Melissa Steblyk: “We bought one, and then we were like, ‘Why don't we buy another one? Maybe we could rent them out.' People are constantly asking, ‘How do we get around the island? We want to see Cortes. We want to experience this.' I was like, ‘I don't know what you can do. You can hitchhike, if you'd like.' Then the idea dawned on us. We're at the Gorge—we have a setup here. I work at the marina, I can promote it through word of mouth right there, and we can really see it going somewhere.” Cortes Currents: They approached Marco Bedetti, manager of The Gorge Harbour Marina, with the idea of renting out their mopeds at the resort. Eric Denis: “Marco's a good friend. I've known Marco since I moved here, when he was working under Bill Dougan and Tammy Allwork back in the day. I worked at Island Sea Farms as well. I'm a liveaboard—I've been living here at the Gorge for the winters. I'm out of the dock for the summer, but I come back for the winter.” Melissa Steblyk: “I've been working at the Gorge. I've been at the marina for the last two years—this is going to be my third year. I have a good working relationship and friendship with Marco, and I understand the need people have, especially coming in on a boat. “He said, ‘Okay, if you guys want to do this, you need to come up with a business plan. You have to sell me on this a little bit if we're going to bring you into it.'” Eric Denis: “For people who come by boat, it gives them a good opportunity to visit the rest of the island.” Melissa Steblyk: “Go to Squirrel Cove, check out the food truck there. Drive over to Manson's, enjoy the beach, check out the lake, and then go to the co-op—Bertha's—and have a snack. And maybe take that down to Smelt Bay. Those are the main things we recommend.” Eric Denis: “So we came up with a good plan, and he set me up really well at the Gorge.” Melissa Steblyk: “I'm not saying we're tied to the Gorge—we're still a separate entity—but we're located here.” Getting Started Cortes Currents: They decided to purchase five mopeds. Eric Denis: “We started researching, and we went for some 49cc automatic Honda Ruckus scooters. They've got Honda reliability.” Melissa Steblyk: “We wanted something that still looked great, ran well, and we knew it could handle the island.” Eric Denis: “We set up a trailer close by the Gorge staff area. I have the five bikes over there and a little bit of a shop so I can maintain them.” Cortes Currents: When did you rent the first moped out? Eric Denis: “The May long weekend during Seafest. A couple from Campbell River came by jet ski, wanted to do some house hunting. They just went, ‘Oh, this is easy.' Then they went on a cruise for a couple of hours.” Melissa Steblyk: “We hadn't even posted yet—we were still trying to figure out how they found us. They might have just been walking by. We didn't have everything fully organized, but we were close enough. They saw us, and that was our first rental.”
The expert era is over. And if you've built your business on being the expert — the go-to, the smartest one in your space, the person with the audience — I know that's uncomfortable to hear. But somewhere deep down, you already feel it. Something's shifted. The stuff that worked for the last ten years just… doesn't hit like it used to. The content's harder. The audience is harder. Being good at what you do doesn't seem to be enough anymore. Here's what I need you to know: that's not in your head. The ground really is moving. The era of winning by being the expert is ending — and it's ending fast. But here's the part nobody's telling you. This is the best possible news for you. Because what's replacing it doesn't require a bigger audience, more content, or working harder than you already are. It actually requires less. And the people who see this shift coming — the ones who get ahead of it right now — are about to have the easiest, most profitable few years of their entire business. So let me show you exactly what's dying, what's taking its place, and how you get on the right side of it before everyone else figures it out.

John Paul DeJoria grew up with no connections, no money, and no roadmap. He sold encyclopedias door-to-door despite constant rejection, got fired from three consecutive jobs, and lived out of his car while raising his young son. Then, with just $700, he launched John Paul Mitchell Systems and built it into a billion-dollar haircare company. That same relentless spirit later helped him turn Patrón Tequila into one of the most recognized spirit brands in the world. In this episode, John Paul joins Ilana to share what it truly takes to build something from nothing, why rejection is just redirection, and why success unshared is failure. John Paul DeJoria is a self-made billionaire, entrepreneur, and the visionary co-founder behind John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patrón Tequila. Beyond his iconic business achievements, he is a passionate philanthropist dedicated to creating a positive global impact.

Despite his high intelligence, George Barrios nearly flunked out of both high school and college, drifting without discipline or direction. Realizing talent alone wouldn't build the future he wanted, he cleaned up his act, became obsessive about preparation, and built a reputation for solving hard problems others avoided. That approach helped him rise through HBO and Time Warner before transforming WWE into a global media powerhouse. In this episode, George joins Ilana to share the habits that accelerated his career, the tough leadership decisions behind WWE's growth, and the mindset shifts that helped him reinvent himself under pressure. George Barrios is the former Co-President and CFO of WWE, where he helped transform the company into a global entertainment business. He is the founder of ISOS Capital, an investment and advisory firm focused on sports, media, and technology.

In this episode, David Burke, Founder and Director of Serenity Mesa Youth Recovery Center, shares how discovering the Nurtured Heart Approach transformed the way he connects with young people in recovery.

The conversation also explores the impact of bringing the approach into Serenity Mesa, where it has transformed not only David's leadership but also the way staff engage with and support the youth they serve. From shifting culture to creating more positive interactions, David shares firsthand examples of how focusing on strengths can help young people thrive.This episode is an inspiring look at the power of authentic connection, the importance of seeing greatness in others, and how a simple shift in approach can create lasting change for both youth and the adults who support them.For more information about Serenity Mesa Youth Recovery Center visit their website at www.serenitymesa.com or call their office at 505-877-3644For more from me visit my website MussiDiskin.com or email me at EnergizingHearts@gmail.com Check out my free parenting course called Parenting 101 at MussiDiskin.com/freecontent

I have been feeling waves of exhaustion, waves of energy, and honestly, a little out of rhythm as I settle into my new home. I'm only about 10 days into this move, and even though I'm excited and grateful, I've also had moments where I feel disoriented, tired, and unsure of what needs my attention first. When I shared that with my aunt, she reminded me of the Rule of 3s: three days to decompress, three weeks to build routines, and three months to begin feeling truly at home. That framework gave me so much perspective because change, even when it's good, still asks us to let go of something familiar. In those first few days, we are not just setting up a new space or stepping into a new chapter. We are also adjusting to what we left behind. I saw that in myself, and I saw it as I brought my dogs into this new environment and began creating routines for all of us, including the goats and chickens that are now part of my daily life. The more I think about it, the more I realize how much grace we need during any big transition. We cannot expect ourselves, our loved ones, or even our pets to feel settled immediately. We need time to decompress, time to create small grounding habits, and time to integrate into whatever new experience we are stepping into. On today's Wise Walk, we are slowing down to check in with ourselves and ask where we are in the Rule of 3s, whether we need rest, routine, or simply more patience as we find our footing. When you experience a major change in your life, are you able to give yourself grace and use the Rule of 3s to help you adjust and pace yourself? When someone you love, whether two-legged or four-legged, experiences a major shift like a new home or new job, can you offer them that same grace? In the first 72 hours of a transition, when everything can feel overwhelming, are you kind and patient with yourself? Can you recognize that even when a new experience is exciting and full of possibility, it may also come with a sense of loss? Are you willing to let yourself decompress as you adjust to giving up what you once had? Can you honor what you are losing while giving your body, mind, and heart the time they need to adjust and receive the full gains of what is next? Whatever you are taking on right now, I'm sending so much good energy and positive vibes your way. Change is hard for all of us, so if you feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure, take a moment to ask where you are in the Rule of 3s. Hopefully, months from now, you will look back and realize you handled the transition with more grace than you thought possible. Until next Thursday's Wise Walk, please be sure to prioritize fun, read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [04:27] The first 3 days of my new home experience was disorienting. It has taken some time for me to decompress. [05:18] I didn't bring my dogs yet, because I knew they needed space to go through the transition. [06:22] We have to pace ourselves and acknowledge that we're going through a decompression period during the first 72 hours. [07:12] The best way to manage the first 72 hours is to give yourself permission to do the bare minimum and take the time to decompress. Manage your priorities to the best of your ability without overdoing it. [08:14] The second step is starting to establish routines for your new environment. Your first 21 days are about managing and starting small daily habits that help you feel grounded in your environment. [11:10] In my new home, I've also acquired goats and chickens. [12:44] I've not only been creating routines, I've also been hiking, walking, and exercising. [13:57] The three month mark is all about integration. Give yourself at least 3 months of that new activity to feel at ease. [15:34] When starting something new it takes a while to build up that muscle memory. It doesn't happen overnight. [16:24] Hold on to the habits that support you. [17:26] The message behind the rule of threes has really helped me manage the new move.

When Eric Ries built his first startup, he believed he had the perfect plan. But when no customers showed up, the business collapsed, exposing a costly truth: being certain does not make you right. That failure forced him to rethink his assumptions and ultimately led him to develop the Lean Startup method, a new way of building companies grounded in testing, learning, and truth. In this episode, Eric chats with Ilana about why most startups fail before they even launch, how to test ideas early to uncover what actually works, and how leaders can build companies that scale without losing their values. Eric Ries is an entrepreneur, author, and startup strategist best known for creating The Lean Startup methodology, a framework that helps founders build businesses through rapid experimentation and continuous iteration.

In this deeply emotional and eye-opening episode of *Women in the Nude*, Sasha sits down with Los Angeles entrepreneur and activist Nicolas de Castro to discuss his groundbreaking initiative, *Humanize the Homeless* — a program designed to combat homelessness by encouraging businesses to redirect portions of their advertising budgets toward paying unhoused individuals to clean and improve their communities. But Nicolas' mission comes from an intensely personal place.For the first time publicly, Nicolas shares the harrowing story of surviving a cartel-related kidnapping and shooting tied to a human trafficking attempt involving his ex-girlfriend — a traumatic event that led to years of psychosis, homelessness, and rebuilding his life from the ground up. Together, Sasha and Nicolas unpack the realities of homelessness, addiction, trauma, dignity, and why incentives — not shame — may be the missing key to meaningful rehabilitation and systemic change. This conversation is raw, vulnerable, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful.Follow Nicolas:* TikTok: Humanize the Homeless* Instagram: @HumanizeTheHomeless.LA @nicolas__decastroFollow the show:* Instagram: @witnpodcast* Website: www.witnpodcast.comSUPPORT THE SHOW by grabbing our merch — designed to spark conversations and help keep these important discussions going.

A New Way To Live | Cody McQueen--Peter rebukes a man who desires to purchase the spiritual influence of the Holy Spirit.--Notes
David Deida is a spiritual teacher, researcher, speaker, and author. What happens when desire and ambition fade? As we age, the urgency and purpose that once defined us can begin to shift. But when that shift leaves us feeling empty, how do we understand it, and how do we build meaning again when the old sources no longer drive us? Expect to learn what a Man of Zero is, if the man of zero is the next stage of the superior man, what happens to ambition and motivation as a man ages, why talking about intimacy is hard for men, what the core of someone's masculine essence is, if masculinity is built by avoiding emptiness, and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get 10% discount on all Gymshark products at https://gym.sh/modernwisdom (use code MODERNWISDOM10) Get 160+ lab tests for just $365 and save an extra $25 at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get 15% off your first order of my favourite Non-Alcoholic Brew at https://athleticbrewing.com/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get ChatGPT to explore ideas, solve problems, and learn faster at https://chatgpt.com Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (0:21) What Is a “Man of Zero”?

Most people think a quantum leap is fast. A collapsed timeline. Something significant appearing with minimal effort.This episode is about the other kind.The quantum leap that unfolds across decades. The one that changes not just your life but your children's lives and their children's lives. The one that is so deeply rooted it has no option but to grow — like a tree whose roots go so deep the height becomes inevitable.I have never heard anyone speak about quantum leaping in this way. And yet it may be the most powerful form of manifestation available to us.In this episode:— Why the manifestation backlash is happening — and what it reveals about frequency levels and how we've been taught to manifest from the wrong place— The quantum leap that takes decades, and why that's not a limitation but a superpower— How a small recurring community — built around your natural gifts — can become a $30M portfolio over 37 years through the compound effect alone— Why manifesting quickly can land on quicksand — and how slow, rooted intention creates the foundation for something that actually sticks— The daughter thread: what it means to light the path for the next generation rather than leaving them to find their own way in the dark— Purpose as the thing that keeps us alive — a conversation with a 75-year-old woman that stopped me completely— Why human beings are built for long communities, not short transactions — and what it means to be witnessed by the same people across decadesThe numbers that stopped people in their tracks:333 members. $150 a month. Half invested for 10 years at 10% growth.You stop investing after year 10. The portfolio keeps compounding on its own.By year 37 — without a single new pound going in — that becomes $30M.That is the quantum leap. Not a lucky break. Not a viral moment.

Grief isn't something you move on from. It's something you learn to carry. After losing three of his closest friends, John Kammer found himself doing what so many people do — avoiding the pain, pushing it down, and trying to outrun it. But over time, he realized something wasn't working. Because grief doesn't go away when you ignore it. It waits. This conversation dives into what it actually takes to process loss, why so many people struggle in silence, and the powerful shift that happens when you stop trying to "move on" and start learning how to move forward. John shares how guilt, isolation, and lack of language around grief can keep people stuck — and why healing begins the moment you're willing to share what you're really feeling. What came out of his journey is something unexpected: a tool designed to help people process grief in a way that feels safe, structured, and human. Guest Bio John Kammer is the founder and CEO of Guardian AIngels, an AI-powered grief support and reflective journaling platform designed to help people process loss in a structured and emotionally intelligent way. After experiencing the loss of several close friends, John recognized the gap between therapy sessions — the late-night moments where people are left alone with their thoughts. That realization led him to create Guardian AIngels, a tool that supports healing through guided reflection, conversation, and emotional awareness. His work is grounded in the belief that healing doesn't happen through avoidance, but through consistent, compassionate engagement with what we're feeling.
