Ep. 23 • Mark Cuban

 

Mark Cuban—entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, fixture on the reality TV show Shark Tank, and born outsider—joins Michele this week. Mark shares how he acquired a do-what-needs-to-be-done attitude from his Jewish immigrant grandparents when he was a boy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, how he first tapped his entrepreneurial spirit by selling garbage bags to neighbors, and—ignoring the way things “should” be done—fast-forwarded his education to start achieving the financial success he’s known for today. But Mark never forgot his roots: He values family and hometown friends more than anything he can buy, and he especially loves his mother’s raisin noodle kugel, a recipe he happily shares with us.
