🎙️⚕️ABOUT MARK CUBAN
Mark Cuban is a self-made billionaire entrepreneur known for his early tech ventures like Broadcast.com, his ownership of the Dallas Mavericks, and his role as a "Shark" on ABC's Shark Tank, investing in numerous startups and expanding into media, film, and healthcare, always championing innovation and disruption.
In 2019, Mark co-founded Costplusdrugs.com with the aim of lowering generic drug prices for end consumers in the U.S., starting the company after receiving an email from a radiologist named Alex Oshmyansky, who pitched the idea of an online-based pharmacy. He often refers to Cost Plus Drugs as a critique and disruptor of the US health care system, including offering transparent, direct-to-consumer pricing and reducing the role of pharmacy benefit managers.
Mark has earned a number of accolades including being named to the Texas Business Hall of Fame, the Horatio Alger Award, the SXSW Hall of Fame, Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and GQ Man of the Year.
