Mark Cuban, Shark Tank Investor, Entrepreneur
Today, my guest is Mark Cuban, a technology billionaire entrepreneur, television personality and media proprietor who is ranked 177 on the 2020 Forbes 400 list.
In 1995, Mark and long-time friend Todd Wagner came up with an internet based solution to not being able to listen to Hoosiers Basketball games out in Texas. That solution was Broadcast.com – streaming audio over the Internet. In just four short years, Broadcast.com (then Audionet) would be sold to Yahoo for $5.6 billion.
Mark is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks professional basketball team of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the co-owner of 2929 Entertainment. He is also one of the main "shark" investors on the ABC reality television series Shark Tank.
