The pharmaceutical supply chain has long been ripe for disruption and who better to lead the way than Mark Cuban, a “shark” who has never shied away from a challenge.

In this episode of our podcast, we sit down with Mark to discuss his vision to “end ridiculous drug prices” and improve every aspect of the pharmacy experience. And while still a young company, the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company has already evolved to address more of the pressing health care challenges facing employers and consumers alike. Tune in to hear what he plans to tackle next to continue to improve health and well-being for all.
