Mark Cuban Talks NFL Owners, Prescription Drug Costs, and Running for President : The Limits with Jay Williams Whether it's the NFL or the NBA, health care policy or America's two-party political system, Mark Cuban believes that when you buck tradition you begin to grow.

In this episode of The Limits, the Dallas Mavericks owner and billionaire Shark Tank investor challenges NFL franchise owners to rethink who they hire and why. He applies that same logic to the healthcare industry, where he plans to upend the market by flipping the market on its head.

These big ideas come from a man who hustled his way from his working-class roots all the way to the billionaire club. At a time when the American dream has become a joke, Mark explains why he still believes in it.
