00:04 In an email to Fortune, Cuban advised against starting a business on the basis of passion.
00:08 Instead, he said workers should first remain focused on money and building wealth,
00:12 and it's something he himself aspired to pursue.
00:14 At 25 years old, Cuban was fully committed to the ideology behind the financial independence
00:19 retire early, aka FIRE movement, and his mission was to retire by 35, but that clearly didn't happen.
00:25 He told CBS that when he was in his 20s, 30s, and 40s, it was all about how much money I could make.
00:30 But once he got to the point where he had enough money and could retire, he didn't want to.
00:34 Instead, Cuban focused on being an entrepreneur that could make positive social change.
00:39 That's where his latest venture, Cost Plus Drugs, comes in.
00:41 Cuban knew it was far from a money-making endeavor,
00:44 but it's his most direct way of cultivating change.
