Mark
Cuban is everywhere – and famously accessible. But what might be called
overexposure in a previous era is now a strength in a fragmented media
world, to the point that many people want him to run for president in
2028.
This week, Ben and Max bring on the former Shark Tank “shark” and former majority-owner of the Dallas Mavericks to talk about
--- how he predicted today’s media landscape in 1995,
--- why he hates the media business, and
--- why he thinks AI is the biggest threat to media and politics.
They also discuss if he’ll actually run in 2028 and which Democratic candidates have the best shot.
