Ep. 24 - Mark Cuban: Enough Said
e is all over the media... but this is an interview you won't get anywhere else!Having started out with no money, living with six guys in a three-bedroom apartment, while sleeping on the floor, it's kind of hard to believe that this person would be able to retire by age 30.But this isn't just any person, it's Mark Cuban... and that is exactly what he did. His first passion in life was getting rich, and today you get the real story about his success.It was more than just aspiration - Mark says it was about putting in the time and the desire to be self-employed and an entrepreneur that really drove his passion.What started as the motivation to simply survive his monthly bills turned into a life he could not have imagined.From his first college bar to MicroSolutions (the first company that he sold), you'll get the inside scoop on how his business ventures started and then soared to epic proportions.Plus, Mark goes into detail about his recent case with the SEC, and talks about the influence that the case had on the creation of Cyber Dust.It will surely make you think twice about sending your next text, email, tweet, or any communication over the internet. ------------What do YOU think of the show?

Ep. 22 - Tim Ferriss: Possibilities and Experimentation
This week James hosts his good friend and best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferriss.Before every interview, James spends hours reviewing his guest's work so he can come up with something different and something very special.This interview proved to be the most difficult in regard to preparation, so far. Not because Tim Ferriss doesn't have anything interesting to talk about (quite the opposite), but because James didn't want to ask him the same old questions he gets asked on every interview. "Can you really only work 4 hours a week?" "Did you really do the things you wrote about?" "Is it actually possible to get the results that you did?" Blah, Blah, Blah.Tim Ferriss has done many different, interesting things besides writing his "4 hour series," and James explores many of those passions on this podcast.And don't worry, this isn't "The 4 Hour Podcast." But almost. ------------What do YOU think of the show?
