Summary

Have you ever watched Shark Tank and wondered how the sharks think? Well, get ready because today we are going to have a sneak-peek into a billionaire’s mind. In this episode, the famous “shark” Mark Cuban talks about moving towards greatness and how great leaders enlighten action. After listening to Mark Cuban’s wisdom, you’ll understand more about finding your purpose in life through personal growth and development. Vishen and Mark talk about everything from what inspires him today to what makes him invest in someone. This talk will inspire you to change your life and how to take action when you have a great idea. A natural businessman, Mark Cuban started selling garbage bags door to door when he was 12 years old. He later owned a popular bar in Indiana, then created Microsolutions (a company he sold in 1990), and, in 1995, Mark created Broadcast.com, which streams audio over the internet. In just four years, Broadcast.com was sold to Yahoo for $5.6 billion, considered one of the top 10 trades of all time. In 2000, he acquired the Dallas Maverick. They became NBA World Champions eleven years later, and they are currently listed as one of Forbes’ most valuable franchises in sports. Mark first appeared as a “Shark” on the ABC show Shark Tank in 2011, becoming the first-ever to live Tweet a TV show. He has been a star on the hit show ever since and is an investor in an ever-growing portfolio of small businesses. Mark is the best-selling author of How to Win at the Sport of Business. He holds multiple patents, including a VR solution for vestibular-induced dizziness and a method for counting objects on the ground from a drone. Listen out for: - Mark’s insight on cryptocurrency. - The reason why we need to raise the minimum wage. - How Mark transformed Dallas Mavericks into a winning team. - The key ideas Mark learned growing up that made him who he is. - Changes Mark would make in the education system if he could. - Live bonus Q&A session.

0:00.0	It's so easy to get down. I don't like my boss. I'm so sick of this. But what I've learned
0:05.7	as an employee and people working for me, when you really work hard to be great at something
0:11.3	and be the best at something, it's always fun to be the best. When you're great at something,
0:16.8	it always feels good to be great and nobody quits things that they're great at. And I think
0:22.9	that's the hardest thing to overcome because the reality of life is you can't just always
0:27.9	quit your job. You can't just always, you know, go in and say, give me the raise or give me
0:32.7	the promotion or I'm out of here. I quit. And so when you're stuck, you've got to find it within
0:38.2	yourself to say, okay, this is where I am. And if I'm going to be here, I'm going to be great.

1:14.7	I'm doing good, Mark. And I'm so really, really excited to have you here. Now, Mark,
1:20.2	most people who are watching today, they are 15,000 people watching live on Zoom. First,
1:25.4	where in the world are you right now? Nice. Nice to hear that. And your man who needs no
1:32.2	introduction, but there is a story I want to share about you because I think it illustrates
1:37.3	something about you that many people may not know. And it's how we basically got you to participate
1:42.7	in this summit. So it turned out, and I'm going to tell the story, it turned out that there is a
1:46.8	woman who works here for Mind Valley. Her name is Jeanette. Jeanette used to live in Texas,
1:51.1	and she happened to be a member of the same gym that Mark was in way back in 2006. So Jeanette
