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, the now-infamous Snowman joins the show as he and I dive into the mailbag and answer your questions.What you're hearing is a significantly improved version of the original recording from November 2020, back when we were recording over Skype and doing our best to stay sane during pandemic lockdowns. If we're being honest, this entire AP Podcast project started out of pure boredom. There wasn't much to do, but I had a bunch of friends with great stories, so we started sharing them. Somehow, that little lockdown experiment grew into what Tens & Aces is today.The original audio quality of this episode made me cringe a bit when I revisited it in 2026, so I dusted off some of the ninja-level audio editing skills I've picked up over the years and cleaned it up as best I could. The sound is better now, but the real reason I wanted to bring this one back is because the content remains one of my favorite episodes we've ever done.So why not give it a listen?Thank you for all of your support over the years. We couldn't have done this without you, and we're just getting started. Here's to many more years ahead!I'm also using this episode as a test of our new podcast feed after some jackass decided to attempt to get the show's feed taken down because he wasn't a fan of certain truths being discussed. We stand by the truth with our integrity 100% intact. He remains standing in his web of lies and toxicity. He's shown his true self to this community with his continued actions. But, like we've said in the past, the best way to get rid of a troll is to ignore the. So, let's get back to doing exactly that! We'll leave it at that!Anyway... here we go...

Sarah Kellen, Jeffrey Epstein's former personal assistant, told the House Oversight Committee that she was brought into Prince Andrew's orbit, including private dinners in Andrew's Buckingham Palace apartment and Princess Beatrice's 18th birthday party at Windsor Castle. Kellen identified Andrew and Sarah Ferguson as notable figures within Epstein's network, saying Andrew had been at Epstein's New York home and that she had also been present at royal residences connected to him. Andrew has denied wrongdoing, but the testimony adds another layer to the long-running scrutiny over how deeply Epstein and his associates were able to move through elite royal spaces.Kellen's testimony is also significant because she occupies one of the most complicated positions in the Epstein story: she was named as a potential co-conspirator in Epstein's 2008 plea deal, yet she has told authorities she was also groomed, controlled, and repeatedly raped by Epstein. She described Epstein as a manipulative and dangerous figure who used his access to powerful people around the world as a tool of intimidation, and she said the abuse continued even after he was jailed, including an alleged Skype call from prison in which he ordered her to undress on camera. Her account places Andrew's palace access inside a broader pattern of Epstein using proximity to royalty, politicians, financiers, academics, and foreign leaders to project power and keep those around him trapped.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein's PA dined with Andrew in his Buckingham Palace roomsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Join Tyler Wells, Co-founder and CTO of BrainGrid, for a forward-looking discussion on how artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of product development. Boasting over 25 years of distributed systems engineering—including a foundational tenure at Skype building Facebook's first video-calling engine and 7+ years directing Video and global SRE at Twilio—Tyler has built infra where structural failure was not an option. In this episode, we explore why the traditional constraints of software engineering—headcount, timelines, and budgets—are dissolving, leaving a brand-new bottleneck at the front of the innovation cycle: human imagination.

Today's guest is the name behind a decade of names you already know by heart. Eight weeks at #1 with Drake. Over a billion streams off a single Travis Scott beat. A top-six Hot 100 record with Migos, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B — all on one song. Nipsey Hussle. French Montana. A whole generation of trap and rap that doesn't sound the way it sounds without him. And here's the part that should annoy every producer alive: he made most of it in under 20 minutes, by himself.And The Writer Is... Murda Beatz!In this episode of And The Writer Is, we go deep on:- Why doubt is important- The principal who told him being a producer was "unrealistic" — and what he'd say to him now- Making "Nice For What" in 20 minutes — and why it was never actually mixed- Selling beats over Western Union for $50–$200 — until working with the Migos got him flagged for fraud- DMing his way from a Canadian bedroom to Chief Keef, the Migos, and Nipsey Hussle- The Migos teaching him to cook beats in 10 minutes: "you gotta be faster"Losing his dad at 21 — and how he handles grief while the machine keeps runningand his new mixtape, 'Bando'And much more...Hit subscribe and turn on notifications.

【主播的话】（本期节目涉及性暴力与性犯罪的讨论，可能引起部分听众不适，请你斟酌收听。）上周，我们走进了柏林的法院，在现场见证了近来引发高度关注的华人迷奸案庭审。被审理的是核心八人群组里的邵姓嫌疑人，这个网络里的成员散布在德国、美国、荷兰等地，通过一个 Telegram 群组彼此相连——他们用药物迷昏女性后实施性侵，并把过程拍下来，在群里分享。受害者大多是他们身边的华人女性：留学生、房东、邻居、甚至当时的伴侣。而目前进入审判的，只是这张网络浮出水面的一角；在这八人之外，还连着一个最大约四千多人的群组。这起案件已经有了不少报道，但我们仍然觉得，这背后有太多值得停下来追问的东西：同一张犯罪网络，为什么在德国、美国刑期能差出几十年？一个见不得人的犯罪幻想，是怎么在群体里被翻转为可执行、被点赞、甚至被鼓励的行为？它又和几年前震动整个西方的佩利科特（Gisèle Pelicot）案，构成了怎样的对照？这一期，我们和常驻德国的记者、也是这组报道的作者之一的孙谦，以及中国政法大学刑事司法学院副教授、刑法学者陈碧，一起聊了聊法庭里的不同刑罚考量、群体如何被磨掉了羞耻，以及在巨大的无力感和集体愤怒面前，我们还能做什么、还能相信什么。如果你或你认识的人正遭受或曾经遭遇任何形式的性别暴力，请寻求协助和支持，可参考：https://lila.help如果你人在德国，正在经历或曾经遭遇数字暴力，可联系：https://hateaid.org/【本期主播】若含：小红书@若含王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】孙谦：媒体人，常驻德国，案件深度报道的记者之一陈碧：中国政法大学刑事司法学院副教授【本期剧透】03:01 柏林庭审现场：众多华人女性前来，社群自发为不懂德语的同胞翻译08:55 令人不安的转变：犯罪的制造与传播，由单一的恶行，变为群体交流、炫耀12:01 Telegram 如何降低犯罪门槛？17:21 孤独感、性偏好障碍... 有关犯罪动机的解释，是在为罪恶开脱吗？24:44 量刑争议：德国与中美的司法理念有何不同33:21 该案在德国本土关注度低，难以“破圈”进入公众视野39:21 关于被告邵某曾于北京多次性侵的指控，跨国追诉可行吗？49:04 不畏罪销毁证据，反而要留下录像01:02:40 厌女景观与“非人化”的性别战争01:13:37 让羞耻感“换边站”01:15:46 媒体在报道该案时的伦理问题：一定要保护受害者【相关阅读】德国华人跨国迷奸案：流动的药，狂欢的Telegram群组，被直播的性暴力作者：孙谦、张漫盈纪录片｜STRG_F：Telegram 上的性侵犯网络发布时间：2024 年该纪录片发布在德国公共广播联盟（ARD）旗下的知名青年调查报道节目 《STRG_F》。女性调查记者 Isabell Beer 与同事进行了长达两年的暗访与卧底，成功渗透进隐藏在 Telegram 加密群组背后的暗黑网络，发现其中最大的群组规模竟高达 7万人，成员横跨欧洲、美洲及亚洲。群内男性（包含大量德语及英语语境用户）会公开分享如何在家中、邻里间对女性（包括伴侣、妻子甚至亲人）实施下药、迷奸的“技术指南”。群成员不仅会上传受害者失去意识后遭受侵害的照片和录像，甚至有人在群内直播施暴过程。纪录片播出时引发了全德对“数字性暴力”的强烈谴责。由于当时德国法律存在漏洞（单是“持有/观看违背违背当事人意愿拍摄的性侵视频”在当时可能不直接构成犯罪），该片直接推动了德国司法部的反思，德国随后开始紧急推动收紧针对“迷奸药”、数字暴力以及性侵视频传播的相关法律法案。法国佩利科案件Pélicot Case法国佩利科案件（Pélicot Case）是近年来全球性质最恶劣、引发国际社会巨大震动的跨国“家庭成员下药+大规模合伙迷奸”案件。从2011年至2020年的近十年间，主犯多米尼克在妻子完全不知情的情况下，长期在她的晚餐或饮料中暗中掺入大剂量的镇静剂和安眠药。在妻子失去意识后，他通过法国本土的网络聊天室（如 Skype 等社交渠道）招募并引导多达72名男性陌生人来到家中，对毫无知觉的妻子实施残酷的轮奸与性虐待，而主犯则在旁负责拍摄、录像并指挥施暴。2024年12月19日，法国法院对该案作出了历史性判决：主犯多米尼克·佩利科被判处加重强奸罪等多项罪名成立，处以法国法律该项罪名的最高刑期——20年监禁。其余50名被成功锁定的共同被告中，47人被判强奸罪成立，另有数人因未遂或性侵罪名成立，分别被判处3至15年不等的有期徒刑。预防性羁押（Sicherungsverwahrung）德国刑法（StGB）第66条规定的一种双轨制（Zweigleisigkeit）刑罚保安处分。它不属于惩罚性的“刑罚”（Strafe），而是一种以“保护公众”为目的的“矫正与保安处分”。这意味着，即便罪犯已经执行完了全部的刑期，如果司法评估判定其对社会仍具有极高的重复犯罪危险性（Gefährlichkeit），法院可以决定将其继续无限期关押在特定的替代性场所。性偏好障碍（Neophilic Disorder / Paraphilic Disorder）庭审中使用的临床心理学与精神病学学术词汇，在《国际疾病分类第十一版》（ICD-11）中被称为“性偏好障碍”。它指代通过非自愿、非人类或涉及痛苦、羞辱的特定对象/行为来获得性兴奋的持续性心理扭曲。域外管辖（Extraterritorial Jurisdiction）指一个国家对发生在领土之外的犯罪行为行使法律管辖权。在刑法中，通常需要基于属人原则（犯罪者或受害者是本国公民）或普遍管辖原则（针对战争罪、反人类罪等国际核心罪行）来行使。厌女情节加重量刑德国联邦议院于 2023 年 6 月通过了《制裁法修改法案》，并于当年正式生效。法条在原本的“种族主义、仇外、反犹”等法定量刑加重动机的基础上，明确首次将“基于性别的（geschlechtsspezifische）”以及“针对性取向的”犯罪动机，作为法定从重处罚的情节。【本期音乐】Bleu-Komiku【节目制作】方改则【Logo设计】刘刘（ins: imjanuary)【互动方式】小红书@不合时宜微博@不合时宜TheWeirdo商务合作可发邮件至 hibuheshiyi@126.com 或微博私信会员计划咨询可添加微信：hibuheshiyi3 或发送邮件至 hibuhehsiyi@gmail.com

Guest: Fling Officer John de Hoop (RAF 1810752, 191161) Wireless Operator-Air Gunner Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎19th of November 2013 Released: 29th of May 2026 Duration: 1 hour 6 minutes 13 seconds John de Hoop was a Londoner who joined the Royal Air Force in 1943, and trained as a Wireless Operator-Air Gunner. The following year he was posted to No. 75 (NZ) Squadron at RAF Mepal, as a Wireless Operator on Avro Lancasters, in the crew captained by New Zealand pilot F/Lt Wylie Wakelin DFC. His final few ops were flown with S/Ldr Bob Rodgers as his captain. This recording was made at the time using Skype, as John lived in the UK. It was recorded as part of a wider WONZ Show project I was working on at the time that ended up not proceeding to completion. So it seems like it’s about time to share it with listeners. John passed away on the 7th of August 2016. John de Hoop (Photo via Dee Boneham) Two more photos of John, from Dee Boneham.

So many people need remote recording for co-hosts and guests. Yet in the 20+ years of podcasting once we get a solid solution, they upgrade the software and we're back to always having a backup "Just in case." So I reached out to my audience to see what they used and they chimed in.The HistoryBlog Talk Radio (now gone) was an EASY choice but sounded like the phone. There was Skype (also gone), but everyone needed an account, and for the technically challenged, it was intimidating. Squadcast came on with a winning strategy with a firm understanding of what podcasters needed. Make it simple. Make it reliable.Then Video Entered the PictureThen tools like Squadcast added video, and while I never had an issue I know people who spoke of "Drift" where the audio didn't line up with the video (making it look like a bad Godzilla movie). There are tools like Evmux (browser based), Ecamm (Mac Only), Descript (browser based), and Streamyard (brwoser based).Text Based EditingWhen Descript entered the picture with text based editing (you edit the transcript, and it edits the audio) it became impressive after a few years. They purchased Squadcast, but haven't implemented all the tech from Squadcast (like being able to schedule a future episode in their "Rooms.").All in One SolutionsThis is one of the symptoms of a "All in one" solution. They do most things about 75%, but the details in that last 25 is what makes the difference. Riverisde started as remote recording, added text based editing, clip generation, and recently podcast hosting (the podcast hosting is very basic see video as of May 2026).It May Not Be All Riverside's FaultI wrote a blog post about all the things podcasters could do to be ready to make great recordings with Riverside.If you want Riverside to work, don't overcomplicate it:Solid internetUpdated browserDecent computerEnough disk spaceDon't rush the uploadThat's it.Do those things, and suddenly Riverside becomes “magically reliable.”What I Use For Live Streaming and RecordingBefore moving to a Mac computer, I use Streamyard, and loved it. When I got a Mac Mini, I switched to Ecamm. It's amazing and much you have more control over how things look. If you have a Streamdeck, you can do some pretty magical things. Worth that said, I'm considering going back to Streamyard even though it's $5 more a month (I used Ecamm for making recording for the School of Podcasting, but I now do those in Tella).What is The Most Reliable?For me, after talking with the School of Podcasting members and now hearing from the audience I would say Ecamm (mac only) and Streamyard (browser based).That doesn't mean Riverside, Evmux, Squadcast are not reliable, but I feel Ecamm and Streamyard are more reliable. They also are primarily focused on one thing RECORDING (although streamyard just added clip generation).So What If I Don't Want an All In One?Then you record with something like Ecamm or Streamyard, if you need clips, there is Opus Clip. There is free video software like Davinci Resolve, and free audio editing like Audacity.Thanks to The ContributorsFrank Bravo From Your Tech MakeoverTodd the Gator from Gaurdian DowncastChris From Cool Cars with ChrisEd from the Days Dumpster FireTim from My Solo MS JourneyMentioned In This EpisodeStreamyardEcammRiversideDescriptEvMuxCleanfeedZencastrOBS ProjectVDO NinjaPodtrack P4NextZoom H6Samson Q2U MicrophoneOpus ClipBoomer BunkerWar Room Online JournalTakeaways:Remote recording can be a total pain if you don't have solid internet; trust me, I know.Zoom works great for audio-only shows but struggles with video quality when the internet hiccups.Streamyard's simplicity makes remote recording a breeze; just send a link and boom, done!Clean Feed is solid for high-quality audio, especially for those who want to keep it simple.For video, Riverside sounds fancy but can be hit or miss; make sure it meets your needs first.Discord is free and surprisingly powerful for remote recordings, even if you're not a gamer.Mentioned in this episode:Live AppearancesI will be at the Empower Podcasting Conference (Year 3!) in Charlotte North Carolina.

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we speak about learning cases through listening and watching. When learning cases, it is far more effective to watch a person on Skype or in person. The problem with merely practicing over the phone or another verbal format is that you cannot observe crucial mannerisms or allow your practice partner to observe you. The only time practicing verbally makes sense is when you have a very experienced person working with you and they can infer things about your performance based on their experience. We advice most clients to practice in person should the opportunity present itself.
