Summary

e is all over the media... but this is an interview you won't get anywhere else!Having started out with no money, living with six guys in a three-bedroom apartment, while sleeping on the floor, it's kind of hard to believe that this person would be able to retire by age 30.But this isn't just any person, it's Mark Cuban... and that is exactly what he did. His first passion in life was getting rich, and today you get the real story about his success.It was more than just aspiration - Mark says it was about putting in the time and the desire to be self-employed and an entrepreneur that really drove his passion.What started as the motivation to simply survive his monthly bills turned into a life he could not have imagined.From his first college bar to MicroSolutions (the first company that he sold), you'll get the inside scoop on how his business ventures started and then soared to epic proportions.Plus, Mark goes into detail about his recent case with the SEC, and talks about the influence that the case had on the creation of Cyber Dust.It will surely make you think twice about sending your next text, email, tweet, or any communication over the internet. ------------What do YOU think of the show?
