Mark Cuban was just a bartender.
(Post-college; moved to Dallas in '82.)
Then. He sold PC software.
Then. He sold PC software.
But. He was fired in less than a year.
Tired of taking orders, Cuban launched MicroSolutions, a software reselling firm.
Like the nerd-pimp he is, he sold it & walked away with a cool 2 million.
Pockets full o' cash, Cuban followed a passion project – airing audio online so he could listen to beloved basketball games.
(The guy was an Indiana Hoosiers nut!)
It dawned on him – others might want to listen to stuff online.
He created AudioNet, which became Broadcast.com.
It exploded!
He sold it for 5.9 billion.
Then. Cuban bought the Dallas Mavericks, established HD Net, cha-cha-ed on Dancing with the Stars and did some other stuff. 5.9 billion!!
