Since the age of 12, Mark has been a natural businessman. Selling garbage bags door to door, the seed was planted early on for what would eventually become long-term success. After graduating from Indiana University - where he briefly owned the most popular bar in town - Mark moved to Dallas. After a dispute with an employer who wanted him to clean instead of closing an important sale, Mark created MicroSolutions, a computer consulting service. He went on to later sell MicroSolutions in 1990 to CompuServe. In 1995, Mark and long-time friend Todd Wagner came up with an internet based solution to not being able to listen to Hoosiers Basketball games out in Texas. That solution was Broadcast.com - streaming audio over the internet. In just four short years, Broadcast.com (then Audionet) would be sold to Yahoo for $5.6 billion dollars. Since his acquisition of the Dallas Mavericks in 2000, he has overseen the Mavs competing in the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history in 2006 - and becoming NBA World Champions in 2011. They are currently listed as one of Forbes' most valuable franchises in sports. In addition to the Mavs, Mark is chairman and CEO of AXS tv, one of ABC's "Sharks" on the hit show Shark Tank, and an investor in an ever-growing portfolio of businesses. He lives in Dallas with wife Tiffany, daughters Alexis and Alyssa, and son Jake.

In mid-1962, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was given a partial transcript of an interview with Miles Davis. It covered jazz, of course, but it also included Davis’s ruminations on race, politics and culture. Fascinated, Hef sent the writer—future Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Alex Haley, an unknown at the time—back to glean even more opinion and insight from Davis. The resulting exchange, published in the September 1962 issue, became the first official Playboy Interview and kicked off a remarkable run of public inquisition that continues today—and that has featured just about every cultural titan of the last half century.To celebrate the Interview’s 50th anniversary, the editors of Playboy have culled 50 of its most (in)famous Interviews and will publish them over the course of 50 weekdays (from September 4, 2012 to November 12, 2012) via Amazon’s Kindle Direct platform. Here is the interview with the business magnate Mark Cuban from the January 2006 issue.

Smoking Addiction: Desire To Stop Smoking Addiction Just Three Steps Have you ever wanted to stop smoking? Have your attempts to stop ended in miserable failure after just a few days? Assuming you’ve managed to go for a few days without smoking, do you think about cigarettes all the time? Do you feel that your life is less enjoyable without the ability to smoke? When you stop smoking, do you have the feeling that something essential is missing from your life? If so, read this report, and take heart that you can stop smoking with the full knowledge and realization that instead of giving something up, you are instead gaining: you will regain your health, your wealth, your looks, your freedom and your self-respect. We are all aware of the potentially devastating physical effects of smoking. This report explores the psychological effects, including the so-called “social side” of this most anti-social of habits. The report explores the effects of smoking, not only just on the individual smoker, but on their families, their colleagues and co-workers and on society as a whole. The report describes the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in the treatment of tobacco addiction, and debunks some of the myths that surround hypnosis, thanks to its sinister portrayal in popular culture. Logically, smokers know that smoking is not only bad for their health, but that it makes their lives miserable and more difficult in so many different ways. Yet the unconscious mind is often the strongest determinant of behavior, and if it associates cigarettes with pleasure, with rebellion, with non-conformity and the membership of a special group, then it will work to sabotage any effort on the part of the smoker to quit. A skilled hypnotherapy practitioner should be able to access the deep, unconscious mind of a smoker, in order to align their unconscious desires with their logical thought processes, resulting in better behavioral outcomes. Therefore, a smoker will not only be able to stop smoking, but will do so without any sense of sacrifice or regret.
