"I learned it from you, Dad." Pabloprah Torre found the smoking gun in the Clippers-Kawhi Leonard-Aspiration story, and he's here to wax poetic about the brilliance of his own reporting from the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in a masturbatory way. How is this anything other than cap circumvention? Why did Mark Cuban disappear? How did he sneak a document under Adam Silver's nose in a literal way? Learn more about your ad choices.

Most small business owners are waiting for universities to produce the employees they need. The smart ones stopped waiting years ago — and started building their own training programs.In this episode, Chris Cooper looks at a quiet trend reshaping how companies find, develop, and keep talent: the rise of the company college. Rolex opened a tuition-free watchmaking school in Dallas, complete with a monthly stipend and a final exam in Geneva. Google built a certificate program now recognized by over 150 employers. And just this week, MasterClass launched MasterClass Executive — a 12-week, AI-powered business school built with the University of Chicago and OpenAI, taught by Ray Dalio, Mark Cuban, and Nobel Laureates.These aren't vanity projects. They're strategic solutions to a real problem: universities aren't producing job-ready graduates fast enough, and the companies that can't afford to wait are building their own pipelines.Chris shares how he did exactly this at Two-Brain Business, and breaks down a four-phase blueprint any company can follow — regardless of size or budget. You'll learn why 15-minute daily lessons outperform full-day orientations, why gamification isn't just for millennials, and why your credential matters as much as your curriculum.Your Golden Hour task this week: define one role, list 10 skills, write one 15-minute lesson. That's Module One of your Company College.Next episode: how to layer a mentorship and coaching program on top of your training — turning trained employees into future leaders.Business is good.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/
Mark Cuban calls “buy and hold” the most misleading slogan in investing—so what does that mean for your retirement? From this past weekend’s radio show, Abe Abich breaks down the risky assumptions many investors make about retirement, from taxes and longevity to market volatility and income planning. The conversation explores why accumulation‑only thinking can fall short as retirement approaches and how shifting from pure growth to growth‑and‑income changes everything. A grounded discussion on planning for real life, not ideal scenarios.

If you're a first-time founder, you're probably feeling it: Cold outreach gets ignored. Paid ads are expensive and unpredictable. And in an increasingly "fake" online world, trust is harder (and slower) to earn. The result? You burn weeks in meetings, chase intros that never materialize, and pour energy into "partnerships" that look good on paper… then ghost at the finish line. In this episode, Jayla sits down with Kyle Kane (former Universal Music VP of A&R, TEDx speaker, executive producer, award-winning entrepreneur), now founder of Onspark.com, to break down why partnerships are the #1 growth driver for modern businesses—and how early-stage founders can stop guessing and start building partnerships that actually produce revenue. Kyle shares lessons from building over $2B in partnership value working with major brands and artists, then explains how he's turning that playbook into OnSpark, an AI-powered partnership engine designed to help founders, creators, and investors find vetted, aligned, high-intent partners. What You'll Learn: The real reason most partnerships fail: misalignment + unclear value exchange How Kyle reverse-engineered partnership success into a simple lifecycle: Discover → Verify → Launch → Amplify The two hidden deal-killers that often show up right before the finish line: Low self-worth ("What do I even have to offer?") Lack of trust (ghosting, last-minute fear, sabotage) How to define a "successful partnership" based on your stage (audience, distribution, clients, investors, etc.) The founder investor strategy most people get wrong: Stop treating investor meetings like interviews—you're interviewing them Ask the questions that reveal if they can actually cut a check The value of being (not just looking) buttoned up when talking to investors The growth principle trends Kyle sees successful entrepreneurs have: Distribution before product Leverage over effort "Build environments where luck becomes inevitable" Being focused is the #1 force of nature for any entrepreneur Kyle's take on AI: essential, but dangerous if it replaces your thinking Visit OnSpark Today– AI-powered partnership engine Connect with Kyle on LinkedIn Dan Martell + Book Buy Back Your Time About your Host: About Your Host Jayla Siciliano is an entrepreneur with 25+ years in consumer brands, product, and marketing.

We've had many conversations on Raise the Line about the challenges of health communication in today's world of information overload, but none of our guests have the kind of expertise Dr. Tesfa Alexander has acquired in a career that has taken him from Madison Avenue to the halls of government and academia. From guiding tobacco education research at the FDA to leading public health initiatives at MITRE, Dr. Alexander has developed a deep understanding of the science and strategy behind effective health communication. “Successful campaigns keep the long game in mind where you want to develop a lasting relationship with your target audience,” he tells host Lindsey Smith. That relationship needs to be built on understanding culture, beliefs, priorities and daily realities, and only then can you develop messaging that will resonate, he explains. Dr. Alexander also believes these relationships can be leveraged to help people sort out facts from misleading or inaccurate claims. “I strongly recommend shifting our focus from combating misinformation head on, and instead working with the communities who we are seeking to serve.” This fascinating look at communication science also covers: How stories drive belief; The importance of working with community partners who are trusted messengers; The power of audience segmentation. Tune in as Dr. Alexander unpacks what it takes to influence beliefs, and ultimately behaviors, in an era defined by misinformation and institutional mistrust.

Entrepreneur Mark Cuban talks to Margaret Hoover about what is wrong with the healthcare system in America and how he hopes to fix it.Since selling his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks and quitting ABC's “Shark Tank,” Cuban has focused his energy on disrupting the healthcare industry. He explains how his company, Cost Plus Drugs, works and why he is taking on pharmacy benefit managers–the insurance industry middlemen he blames for rising drug costs.Cuban addresses broader questions about the industry, telling Margaret why he supports bipartisan legislation to break up big healthcare companies, why he thinks TrumpRx is a good program, and why he doubts universal healthcare is feasible in America today.Cuban, who endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024, also reflects on the Democratic Party's communication problems and comments on whether he would consider running for president himself in 2028.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, The Beth and Ravenel Curry Foundation, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, Katharine J.

What happens when a personal tragedy becomes the catalyst for helping thousands of families preserve their stories? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Charlie Greene, CEO and Co-Founder of Remento, who turned his experience recording his mom's stories during her cancer diagnosis into a Shark Tank-approved business that's helped over 30,000 families create memory books."Writing feels like homework," Charlie's mom told him when he gave her a write-your-own-memoir book. So he tried something different—he just hit record and started asking questions. That simple pivot became the foundation for Remento, a product that creates keepsake memory books that completely write themselves, no writing required.From discussing the difference between "family history" and "selling a story" to sharing insights about resilience research in children, this conversation explores the art and science of storytelling. Charlie reveals what he learned about helping people who think "I don't know why my story matters" discover that their experiences are worth preserving—and how reframing it as a gift for your kids rather than your own legacy changes everything.Whether you're an entrepreneur building something deeply personal, a leader interested in the power of storytelling, or someone who wants to preserve family memories before it's too late, Charlie's journey from that first recording with his mom to appearing on Shark Tank offers valuable lessons about building businesses that truly matter.Chapter Times and Titles:Introduction: The Story Behind the Story [00:00 - 06:16]Welcome, and the abstract conversation teaseWhat is Remento?

We're marking Rare Disease Month 2026 by highlighting the powerful story of Shanthi Hegde, a young patient advocate working to transform how bleeding disorders are understood, treated, and supported. This work is fueled by her own arduous journey with two rare bleeding disorders and immune dysregulatory syndrome, and an extended diagnostic odyssey marked by dismissal, underdiagnosis, and structural bias. “I was told many times by many providers that these disorders are not common in Indians and that my bruises were there just because I'm brown.” Admirably, Shanthi pushed past this mistreatment, advocated for her medical needs, and devoted herself to tackling a range of issues confronting rare disease patients from mental health access to affordable drug pricing to research equity. In this remarkable Year of the Zebra conversation with host Lindsey Smith, you'll also learn about: Shanti's work with the Hemophilia Federation of America; How gaps extend beyond treatment to include insurance coverage, provider training, and substance use care; What clinicians can do to improve the work they do with rare disease patients. Join us for a conversation that connects patient voice to system change, and explores what real equity for rare disease communities will require.

Few issues have tested public trust in medicine as deeply as vaccines, and few individuals have influenced that dialogue more than Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a longtime member of the FDA's Vaccine Advisory Committee. In this timely and candid interview with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Offit points to this year's severe flu season and a resurgence of measles as alarming proof points of how a changing federal perspective on vaccine policy is having a real impact on public health. “You'd like to think you can educate about the importance of vaccines, but I fear at this point the viruses themselves are doing the educating.” In this wide ranging discussion, Dr. Offit also addresses: The rigorous and painstaking process of developing vaccines, based on his experience co-inventing the rotavirus vaccine. Shifting levels of public trust in scientific organizations. Promising innovations in vaccine development. Don't miss this deeply-informed perspective on the interplay of science, policy, and public education, and his encouraging message to young clinicians about managing the current challenges in public health.

We give our final thoughts on the NBA tanking narrative: Mark Cuban's viral X manifesto defending/embracing tanking (with his Mavericks history), Kevin Pritchard quote-tweeting it and polling Pacers fans on their stance, plus Rick Carlisle's comments on the fine and his plan for working Ivica Zubac into the lineup. Pacers were back at practice this week—first injury report for the Wizards game drops Siakam out (personal reasons) and Zubac still sidelined (ankle sprain, no debut yet).

The dictionary defines tanking as deliberately losing or failing to finish. Jason delves into Mark Cuban actually saying that the NBA should embrace tanking. Cuban implied that teams should be more focused on the game-day experience and ticket prices than on tanking. Dre Baldwin, Steve Kim, and Jay Skapinac join the show, offering their takes on Cuban's comments, the notion that Michael Jordan could become the face of NASCAR, and the cancellation of Cam Newton's BET show, “106 and Sports,” after only eight episodes. This cancellation followed Newton's remarks about not having any attractive women in his life to avoid sexual relations with them. Danny Kanell makes his weekly appearance, opining on Kyler Murray, Travis Hunter, and Tyreek Hill. Jason closes the show by checking in on the journey of Pastor Brooks as well as the pastor's remembrance of Jesse Jackson.

In this episode of The Risk Reversal Podcast, Dan Nathan and Guy Adami break down the massive rotation rocking the tech sector. Why are investors dumping software darlings like Salesforce, Adobe, and Oracle while Apple hits new highs? The guys debate whether the "AI tailwind" has officially become a headwind for SaaS companies and if the massive infrastructure spend by Microsoft and Google will ever generate a real return.
