That was better than any Marc Cuban interview Ive ever seen. . This format allows people to get more indepth understanding of what you really want to know; how and why people think! Brilliant.
Mark you truly have been inspiring to me for so so long. Even during my most difficult medical hardships in the recent years, I kept coming back to your words of encouragement. Thank you for being YOU.
I love Mark Cuban. Literally the only billionaire I respect. "The most patriotic thing you can do is pay your motherfucking taxes". Love that, and totally agree. People are so cynical about paying taxes now it makes no sense to me. They cheer on billionaires who find loopholes and pay less in taxes than them. We need less billionaires, all they are are money hoarders. Can't spend all that money even if they tried.
Even if billionaires paid more taxes, would it really benefit you? Taxes go to the government, but do they have your best interest? Tax "loopholes" exist intentionally for anyone to use. Why not take advantage of what's legally available? But different countries have different laws, so be careful. This is just my perspective tho.
I would staunchly disagree. America was founded LITERALLY by people who were pissed off about how much taxes they paid. Paying Taxes couldn't be more antithetical to what this country is. But philosophy aside, you can't just hike up the tax rate TOO aggressively, you'll collect ZERO because they'll just move to Puerto Rico. And they're the exact demo who has the capability to do something like that.
Billionaires don't hoard money. They invest it or spend it or save it in a bank that then invests it. Billionaires also don't have billions of dollars stockpiled, they have a net worth of billions meaning they would only have billions of dollars if they sold all of their companies, investments, and assets.
you literally just explained how they hoard money while saying they don't hoard money. If youd like to substitute the word "money" with "assets" then that doesn't really change my argument, does it?@@daviddavis5800
Mark's advice aligns well with our sales training principles, particularly his focus on adapting to market needs and understanding your customers. Here are some questions we suggest you can use to better understand your prospects: - What key things can you tell me about the business? - Where do you see the biggest need for improvement? - If the situation didn’t improve, or even worsen, how concerned do you imagine you or the business would be? This is a great reminder of how key persistence and strategic approach are in sales. Love it 💯
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH.... stock,silver and gold)
After I got upto 900k trading with expert Angela Mae McClain,I bought a new House and I'm now able to send my kids to a better school in the states When someone is straight forward with what he or she is doing people will always speak up for them.
I saw this post on FB the other day. The interviewer asked, "If you could have dinner with someone, who would it be?" Of course the interviewees all said their celebrity crushers, Taylor swift, etc. I'm a straight guy and I'd choose to have dinner with the legendary Mark Cuban. I will gain MORE knowledge on that one dinner with Mark than I've ever learned over the past 28 years of my existence. I wish to meet this guy even just once in my life. It'll be totally worth every minute.
Idk how right I am but he has always been fair with his offers in the show and is always down to earth and kind in the interviews. Really like the guy 👍
I agree with pretty much everything he said except for NFT's. There are industries that boom after a period of stagnation and there are industries that just die because they are not that useful for the average consumer. I think the NFT industry is one of those. When you buy an NFT you're technically not even buying the rights to a certain image as he made it sound, but a link.
I thought he made a good point about using them as a means to validate tickets. I'm curious about how that could be used to cut out scalpers, but I see the potential. @@LucMMailloux
I think he's probably right about the future of NFT being in things like ticket but the idea that you should buy NFTs because you love NFTs is laughable. No matter what you love in terms of collectibles buying the physical version is a better investment and more enjoyable
The last part regarding drugs sums it up why it has always been so difficult for me to start business: there's so much content, this content does explain it quite well, yet you realize that there is so much unethical there. Like he said: everybody hates them. But even when the product itself is ethical, also everybody hates ads. Everybody hates the way marketing campaigns are. And you realize you gonna have to do it all to move anywhere at all.
Money doesn't buy happiness. Here is the real equation: money buys freedom. Freedom buys happiness. People should aim for freedom in life (no debt, no boss, not working a dead end job). If you have tons of money, you have tons of freedom to do what you want, when you want, how you want.
*Appreciate your videos! I’m 54 and younger generations should know there’s no shortcut to acquiring wealth, but there are ways to go about it. Fellow millionaires don’t tell the poor/middle class they need the knowledge of finance coaches to help build their wealth. If anyone here needs a good coach, here’s it..*
As a Customer Service "expert" I loved his answer. The customer is rarely right but the customer has so many options they must be respected and understood. It also explains why as an entrepreneur I have had failings because I was trying to appease rather than building the best "mousetrap". Double-edged sword and then you add in the luck variable, well 😬. I will keep working and tenacity is at least my strong suit. 🤩
If your digital good is only valuable when recognized by a central authority (literally what tickets are for), you don't need decentralized NFTs. You can just do it with normal web sites and apps. Steam marketplace figured this out in like 2012. Neopets did it in like 1999 lol
I mean you’re right but that doesn’t mean there’s no value to NFTs. One of their potential benefits is interoperability. If you’re Ticketmaster, you’re not going to use NFTs; you’re going to have your own proprietary system. But you’re also a monopoly and you’re a middleman. If you’re the actual ticket issuer, and you’re big enough (like a major sports league), you’re probably going to have your own proprietary system because the ecosystem can be big enough and popular enough to survive. But there’s a limit to how many different apps and systems and whatnot people are willing to use. And outside of a few major organizations like sports leagues etc., you’re not going to have hundreds or thousands of different in-house systems. Most people will use a third party, like Ticketmaster. That’s where NFTs potentially offer better value. Assuming they’re ultimately built on the same blockchain or protocol or whatever, there would be such a lower barrier to entry. Companies with some IT know how issuing tickets could maybe do it in house to issue the original tickets (and buyers could resell on different marketplaces) or they could use third parties to help with creating and issuing tickets but have lots of options to choose because all can ultimately sell the tickets in the different marketplaces. So I think NFT tickets allow for ecosystems with more players, fewer barriers to entry, and less money to be made by middlemen that create and control an ecosystem that they can shut companies out of, if they don’t pay more and more or follow their top down rules.
@@brendancurtin679 But those crypto marketplaces are third party middlemen, as are the crypto wallet apps and exchanges. All of them have their own transaction costs, security risks, customer support, app UX, legal jurisdictions, etc. You're almost certainly gonna have less overhead if you just pick a single digital wallet/trading provider and integrate that into your customer support, app, legal, IT, etc. Crypto doesn't need to be involved to accomplish any of that. If you really want to prioritize decentralized transactions between untrusted entities, you can make the tradeoff I guess. But I don't think a typical ticketing venue actually gets good cost-benefit out of it.
Literally want to start my own business just so I can spend time with my family, not feel so freaking burnt out everyday, I have a small thing on ebay and even though it doesn't make a ton I LOVE doing it.

@@corail53same idea if a market doesn't have oranges, and you need the vitamin c and like oranges. You can't buy an orange which makes you sad, a net negative. An orange seller finds the problem, the lack of oranges in the market. He sells oranges, all people like you who want oranges buy his orange, he profits massively because there's many if you that wants his orange, you are happy with your orange along with all other orange buyers, the orange seller gets rich off of selling orange, net positive. You can't say the orange seller tried to make the world better, but he definitely made it better for those people that wanted to be able to buy oranges.
@@fatemad4012people like that are negative because they view life as a zero sum game. In reality, there's a world where everyone benefits. I need cheaper medicine, Mark figures out how to sell cheaper medicine, we both win.
@@corail53you can very easily do both. Someone had an idea to make their life easier or better and thought hey I’ll bet this might make other people’s lives better make the product sell it they profit on their idea and the person who bought it now their life is easier and better.

That tax question was personal and he was 100% directing that to specific someone
Elon? Pretty sure he pays the most taxes in America
This video may be one of the best business lessons I’ve ever seen, and it’s completely free! Thanks Mark Cuban, Wired, and RUclips!!
Mark you truly have been inspiring to me for so so long. Even during my most difficult medical hardships in the recent years, I kept coming back to your words of encouragement. Thank you for being YOU.
I love Mark Cuban. Literally the only billionaire I respect. "The most patriotic thing you can do is pay your motherfucking taxes". Love that, and totally agree. People are so cynical about paying taxes now it makes no sense to me. They cheer on billionaires who find loopholes and pay less in taxes than them. We need less billionaires, all they are are money hoarders. Can't spend all that money even if they tried.
Even if billionaires paid more taxes, would it really benefit you? Taxes go to the government, but do they have your best interest? Tax "loopholes" exist intentionally for anyone to use. Why not take advantage of what's legally available? But different countries have different laws, so be careful. This is just my perspective tho.
I would staunchly disagree. America was founded LITERALLY by people who were pissed off about how much taxes they paid. Paying Taxes couldn't be more antithetical to what this country is. But philosophy aside, you can't just hike up the tax rate TOO aggressively, you'll collect ZERO because they'll just move to Puerto Rico. And they're the exact demo who has the capability to do something like that.
Billionaires don't hoard money. They invest it or spend it or save it in a bank that then invests it. Billionaires also don't have billions of dollars stockpiled, they have a net worth of billions meaning they would only have billions of dollars if they sold all of their companies, investments, and assets.
you literally just explained how they hoard money while saying they don't hoard money. If youd like to substitute the word "money" with "assets" then that doesn't really change my argument, does it?@@daviddavis5800

Mark's advice aligns well with our sales training principles, particularly his focus on adapting to market needs and understanding your customers.
Here are some questions we suggest you can use to better understand your prospects:
- What key things can you tell me about the business?
- Where do you see the biggest need for improvement?
- If the situation didn’t improve, or even worsen, how concerned do you imagine you or
the business would be?
This is a great reminder of how key persistence and strategic approach are in sales. Love it 💯
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH.... stock,silver and gold)

"The customer is always right, *in matters of taste*." This is the original quote.
I felt like I was learning how to be a better "salesman" just by listening to this dude talk about his ideas. Cool dude
Mark has serial killer, psychotic, heartless eyes even though he's very carismatic and maybe the most relatable billionare possible.
mark is honest and down to earth love his answers
I like his honesty about luck and overall. He has principles and values.
Mark, you're awesome I really apreciate the no bs content
It's been awhile since I watch an entire video on RUclips. I love listening to him.
1. Read
2.Curious
3. Agile

I saw this post on FB the other day. The interviewer asked, "If you could have dinner with someone, who would it be?"
Of course the interviewees all said their celebrity crushers, Taylor swift, etc.
I'm a straight guy and I'd choose to have dinner with the legendary Mark Cuban.
I will gain MORE knowledge on that one dinner with Mark than I've ever learned over the past 28 years of my existence.
I wish to meet this guy even just once in my life. It'll be totally worth every minute.
Hang out with billionaires and you'll learn how to make money
To be fair, a lot of celebrities are millionaires/billionaires
Mark Cuban is one of the few billionaires who actually gets it - anytime he speaks, I listen.
Man imagine having a half an hour conversation with this guy. He just knows so much about life and the system we live in and he says it out no problem
The question in the thumbnail is asked at 01:34.
That was honestly one of the best entrepreneur videos i've seen to date, straight to the point and packed with knowledge.
Imagine an education system where this guy would be your teacher! Now, that would be awesome!!!
I love Mark Cuban. He’s a high energy, positive person with grounded morals and ethics.
"PAY YOUR MOTHER FUCKIN TAXES"
I like this guy.
He's so smart and answers wisely. He knows his industry so well.
Idk how right I am but he has always been fair with his offers in the show and is always down to earth and kind in the interviews. Really like the guy 👍
"The most valuable asset to me wasn't the money, it was the time that money could buy."
I love how this video is so educational in the simplest terms
he is just the uncle that we all like to listen for his wisdom and knowledge. good tips.
This was a great video. Mark is a great guy sharing so much. Love him
I didn't really know much about Mark other than that he's on Shark Tank. And less than 90 seconds in and I already have so much respect for this guy.
He answered everything I would've asked him in person. Amazing video!
I like his description of VCs, he’s very self-aware.
I agree with pretty much everything he said except for NFT's. There are industries that boom after a period of stagnation and there are industries that just die because they are not that useful for the average consumer. I think the NFT industry is one of those. When you buy an NFT you're technically not even buying the rights to a certain image as he made it sound, but a link.
well... that's not true... please look up on-chain... you are also limiting the application of NFT to art..
NFTs have the potential to be sooo much more than images. I'm no fan of NFTs in their current form, but Cuban is right about their potential.
I thought he made a good point about using them as a means to validate tickets. I'm curious about how that could be used to cut out scalpers, but I see the potential.
@@LucMMailloux
I think he's probably right about the future of NFT being in things like ticket but the idea that you should buy NFTs because you love NFTs is laughable. No matter what you love in terms of collectibles buying the physical version is a better investment and more enjoyable
Ordinals are NFTs stored directly on the blockchain
You know when a person truly understands what he's talking about, is when he explains complex things , it does not seem too complicated.
THIS IS THE BEST WIRED INTERVIEW EVER
The last part regarding drugs sums it up why it has always been so difficult for me to start business: there's so much content, this content does explain it quite well, yet you realize that there is so much unethical there. Like he said: everybody hates them. But even when the product itself is ethical, also everybody hates ads. Everybody hates the way marketing campaigns are. And you realize you gonna have to do it all to move anywhere at all.
Thanks wired. Huge value given with the pace, diversity, and number of questions answered. 🙌🏾
The fact this dude seems legit and transparent means he’s after the same thing to common man is after. Money. Which in turns buys happiness.
Money doesn't buy happiness. Here is the real equation:
money buys freedom. Freedom buys happiness. People should aim for freedom in life (no debt, no boss, not working a dead end job). If you have tons of money, you have tons of freedom to do what you want, when you want, how you want.
The full quote is "The customer is always right, in matters of taste"
This video is loaded with incredible tips and useful information. Marc Cuban is refreshingly honest and you can tell he's a very bright businessman.
*Appreciate your videos! I’m 54 and younger generations should know there’s no shortcut to acquiring wealth, but there are ways to go about it. Fellow millionaires don’t tell the poor/middle class they need the knowledge of finance coaches to help build their wealth. If anyone here needs a good coach, here’s it..*

I could listen to mark talk about this stuff for ages, what a resource.
Find the book titled Secret Pathway to Triumph. You'll learn all the money attraction techniques there. Trust me on this.
I really appreciate Mark's honesty and humility in this video. Great watch.
I like how you still refer to it as Twitter 🐦

As a Customer Service "expert" I loved his answer. The customer is rarely right but the customer has so many options they must be respected and understood. It also explains why as an entrepreneur I have had failings because I was trying to appease rather than building the best "mousetrap". Double-edged sword and then you add in the luck variable, well 😬. I will keep working and tenacity is at least my strong suit. 🤩
If your digital good is only valuable when recognized by a central authority (literally what tickets are for), you don't need decentralized NFTs. You can just do it with normal web sites and apps. Steam marketplace figured this out in like 2012. Neopets did it in like 1999 lol
I mean you’re right but that doesn’t mean there’s no value to NFTs. One of their potential benefits is interoperability.
If you’re Ticketmaster, you’re not going to use NFTs; you’re going to have your own proprietary system. But you’re also a monopoly and you’re a middleman. If you’re the actual ticket issuer, and you’re big enough (like a major sports league), you’re probably going to have your own proprietary system because the ecosystem can be big enough and popular enough to survive.
But there’s a limit to how many different apps and systems and whatnot people are willing to use. And outside of a few major organizations like sports leagues etc., you’re not going to have hundreds or thousands of different in-house systems. Most people will use a third party, like Ticketmaster.
That’s where NFTs potentially offer better value. Assuming they’re ultimately built on the same blockchain or protocol or whatever, there would be such a lower barrier to entry. Companies with some IT know how issuing tickets could maybe do it in house to issue the original tickets (and buyers could resell on different marketplaces) or they could use third parties to help with creating and issuing tickets but have lots of options to choose because all can ultimately sell the tickets in the different marketplaces.
So I think NFT tickets allow for ecosystems with more players, fewer barriers to entry, and less money to be made by middlemen that create and control an ecosystem that they can shut companies out of, if they don’t pay more and more or follow their top down rules.
@@brendancurtin679 But those crypto marketplaces are third party middlemen, as are the crypto wallet apps and exchanges. All of them have their own transaction costs, security risks, customer support, app UX, legal jurisdictions, etc.
You're almost certainly gonna have less overhead if you just pick a single digital wallet/trading provider and integrate that into your customer support, app, legal, IT, etc. Crypto doesn't need to be involved to accomplish any of that.
If you really want to prioritize decentralized transactions between untrusted entities, you can make the tradeoff I guess. But I don't think a typical ticketing venue actually gets good cost-benefit out of it.
@@brendancurtin679 There is no value to NFT's and tickets are bad use case.
Mark Cuban is such a humble and personable guy. Love seeing it!
Mark I always liked and respected you and even more so now. Truly. You deserve everything you got and then some.
I like that he realised he shldve treated people better back then. Shows a guy willing to own up and grow up. He's my favourite Shark.
Literally want to start my own business just so I can spend time with my family, not feel so freaking burnt out everyday, I have a small thing on ebay and even though it doesn't make a ton I LOVE doing it.
I love that! Keep it up! You never know what it could turn into to. Especially with passion behind it. :)
Starting your own business means you will have less time and more burnt out if you want to make it big.
Listen to Mark's response 5:47 You can't have both time with the family and a successful business in the early stages. That comes much further down the line AFTER you hustle!
Sell crack cocaine
I love this man, he’s smart and so humble
These are true gems of information and inspiration! Thank you, Mark!
I’m so agreeing with Mark. He surprised me when he said you got to have “Luck” to be billionaire, so honestly true. I was surprised with his honesty
This man has saved my dad lots of money on his medicines with his site, not often can you say that about a billionaire, hes at least trying to make the world better for people, and for that reason I'm in.
He is getting richer because of it - not trying to make the world a better place but rather profiting off it.
@@corail53why are you so negative?he can be both profiting and helping others the world is not black and white
@@corail53same idea if a market doesn't have oranges, and you need the vitamin c and like oranges. You can't buy an orange which makes you sad, a net negative. An orange seller finds the problem, the lack of oranges in the market. He sells oranges, all people like you who want oranges buy his orange, he profits massively because there's many if you that wants his orange, you are happy with your orange along with all other orange buyers, the orange seller gets rich off of selling orange, net positive. You can't say the orange seller tried to make the world better, but he definitely made it better for those people that wanted to be able to buy oranges.
@@fatemad4012people like that are negative because they view life as a zero sum game. In reality, there's a world where everyone benefits. I need cheaper medicine, Mark figures out how to sell cheaper medicine, we both win.
@@corail53you can very easily do both. Someone had an idea to make their life easier or better and thought hey I’ll bet this might make other people’s lives better make the product sell it they profit on their idea and the person who bought it now their life is easier and better. Even if he was only intended to profit on it. People are paying less for prescriptions which to me is making the world a better place
"Always use the simpler word." There's nothing more true than that.
About 8 years ago Mark called out EXACTLY what is happening to Donald Trump now. He said DT was going to destroy his brand.
Lol, what an oracle..
Anyone who knew anything about Trump could have told you that. He has been an idiot and hated since the 1980s. He was also a democrat his entire adult life and only ran as a republican because he thinks the base is stupid enough to vote him in (he verbatim said this in an interview in the mid 80's) and it happened.
And he was wrong
I have to say this is one of the most valuable videos I have seen so far
This is one of my favourite wired episodes ever
Wow! This was tremendous. He was so honest and direct. Go Mark Cuban and thank you Wired for making this video!
Man just sold us an entire motivational lecture for free.
Dude, the first question you answered, was probably the most valuable one in this video.
Made me laugh about the customers. Starting business here in Ireland is very hard.
My husband and I enjoy watching shark tank. I am American and he is Irish. But we enjoy how Mark if forward in calling a scam and loving to help young businessman and ladies... ❤❤
Spitting facts out here.
