Mark Cuban Picks This Song As Soundtrack Of Life: 'It Doesn't Matter How Many Times You Fail. You Only Have To Be Right One Time'

Music has always played a role in Mark Cuban's life, but there's one track that holds special significance.

The DMX song "Fame" resonates deeply with Cuban's journey, capturing the challenges and ambitions that have defined his career.

"You know, anybody who’s struggled or faced challenges, there’s always some music that kind of fires you up and reminds you that other people have faced it," Cuban said on the "Life in Seven Songs" podcast.

On the podcast, Cuban used songs to highlight particular moments in his life, including his early days, time on Shark Tank and time owning the Dallas Mavericks.

The lyrics of "Fame" carry a message that Cuban finds particularly motivating: "And there’s just a line of the only thing I fear is I’m never going to fly," he shares.

For Cuban, the fear of not realizing his full potential has been a driving force behind his relentless work ethic and bold business moves.

"And like I always say, it doesn’t matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right one time. You only have to fly one time," Cuban emphasizes, highlighting the resilience that has carried him through both triumphs and setbacks. It's a mindset that has helped him build an empire, from launching tech ventures to owning the Dallas Mavericks.

While Cuban's life may have taken him far from his days as a young entrepreneur, his musical tastes remain intertwined with his journey.
