Federal prosecutors say two Chinese researchers tried to sneak a crop-killing fungus through Detroit's airport so they could study it at a University of Michigan lab.
What Happened: Agents with the FBI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested Yunqing Jian, 33, on Tuesday and unsealed a criminal complaint accusing her and boyfriend Zunyong Liu, 34, of conspiracy, smuggling, making false statements and visa fraud.
Court papers allege Liu first denied, then admitted, hiding the samples so the couple could continue Jian's government-funded research inside a campus laboratory where she worked as a visiting scholar. Prosecutors also say Jian "expressed loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party," and investigators found documentation of Chinese grants backing her work on the same pathogen.

The Justice Department says the fungus causes "head blight" in wheat, barley, maize and rice, triggering billions of dollars in crop losses and producing toxins that can sicken humans and livestock.
"These two aliens have been charged with smuggling a fungus that has been described as a ‘potential agroterrorism weapon' into the heartland of America," U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon Jr. said in announcing the case.

FBI Director Kash Patel amplified those allegations on X, writing, "This case is a sobering reminder that the CCP is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences." Patel added that the bureau "will continue working tirelessly to be on guard against it."
Jian appeared in federal court in Detroit on Tuesday; Liu is expected to follow later this week. If convicted, each faces up to 20 years in prison on the top count of smuggling. The University of Michigan said it is cooperating with investigators and has found no evidence that the fungus entered its facilities.
Why It Matters: The arrests land amid escalating U.S.–China tensions. Last week, the Trump administration said it would "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45664141/trump-administration-to-revoke-visas-of-chinese-students-tied-to-ccp-or-critical-fields-tightens-screening">aggressively revoke</a>" visas held by many Chinese students in sensitive research fields.

In a Sunday interview, he added that he is confident President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet soon to iron out their differences.

CBL International Launches $5M Share Repurchase Program, Citing Confidence In Long-Term Growth

Senator&nbsp;Cynthia Lummis&nbsp;(R-Wyo.) stated Tuesday that even the U.S. military sees the strategic value of having a national Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve.
What Happened: During an interview with Bloomberg, Lummis&nbsp;was asked about JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon&#8217;s remark that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/05/45709673/us-should-stockpile-bullets-not-bitcoin-jamie-dimon-says">U.S. should prioritize stockpiling</a> traditional defense resources over Bitcoin.
&#8220;I would say even the U.S. Military disagrees with him,&#8221; Lummis replied. &#8220;There are Generals, especially in Southeast Asia, who believe it is important to have strategic Bitcoin stockpiles.&#8221;
Lummis claimed that the U.S. was at an &#8216;economic war&#8217; with China, emphasizing that, in addition to guns and bullets, Bitcoin would be required to counter the Chinese threat.
&#8220;We need both,&#8221; she added. &#8220;All we need to do is look to the leadership of the current U.S. Military to find support for a strategic Bitcoin Reserve.&#8221;

Why It Matters: While the Defense Department has not formally endorsed a Bitcoin reserve, there have been instances of branches of the military<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/02/30673164/us-air-force-boosts-blockchain-adoption-with-30m-investment-in-simba-chain"> exploring blockchain technology</a> for various applications.
Lummis&#8217; claims come at a time when she is advocating for clear regulatory frameworks for digital assets and the establishment of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin reserve—an idea that has already <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44491124/strategic-bitcoin-reserve-eliminates-last-threat-says-bitwises-matt-hougan">received executive approval</a>.

Opposition candidate Lee Jae-myung, a prominent supporter of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), secured a decisive win in South Korea&#8217;s snap presidential election, paving the way for major digital asset reforms in Asia&#8217;s fourth-largest economy.
What Happened: The 61-year-old Democratic Party leader defeated the ruling People Power Party candidate Kim Moon-soo following months of political chaos triggered by his predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol&#8216;s failed martial law declaration in December. Voter turnout reached 79.4%, the highest since 1997, as citizens sought to restore democratic stability, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c861yyqxg4do">reported</a> the BBC.
Lee&#8217;s crypto-friendly agenda includes legalizing spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds and allowing South Korea&#8217;s $884 billion National Pension Service to invest in digital assets.
&#8220;We need to establish a won-backed stablecoin market to prevent national wealth from leaking overseas,&#8221; Lee stated during May policy discussions, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/south-korea-presidential-election-crypto-industry-gains">reported</a> CoinTelegraph. 
&#8220;I will create a safe investment environment so that young people can build assets and plan for the future,&#8221; Lee said in May, signaling priority focus on financial modernization.

Why It Matters: Lee faces immediate challenges beyond cryptocurrency policy. His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44686417/wall-street-soars-as-trump-teases-trade-deals-magnificent-seven-add-over-500-billion-in-market-value">administration must navigate trade negotiations</a> with President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration while managing domestic political divisions. 
The victory represents a remarkable political comeback for Lee, who lost the 2022 presidential race by a narrow margin. 
He still faces Supreme Court proceedings over alleged election law violations, though sitting presidents typically receive immunity from criminal prosecution except for insurrection or treason charges, according to the BBC report.

Why It's Important: The rally follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45657660/nvidia-q1-highlights-china-export-ban-hits-results-but-jensen-huang-says-demand-incredibly-strong">Nvidia's first-quarter earnings</a> last week. The company reported a revenue of $44.1 billion, marking a 69% increase year-over-year and a 12% rise from the previous quarter. The results surpassed Wall Street&#8217;s consensus estimate of $43.2 billion.
The surge reflects booming demand for its AI chips, used in everything from data centers to generative AI platforms.
Morgan Stanley has also reaffirmed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45742324/nvidia-stock-seen-as-unique-opportunity-amid-chip-sector-volatility-says-morgan-stanley-we-are-materially-under-shipping-demand">"Overweight" rating on Nvidia</a>, calling it a "unique opportunity" in the semiconductor industry and maintaining it as its top pick. Despite sector slowdown concerns, analysts remain confident in Nvidia's growth.
Meanwhile, Microsoft, which reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45117886/microsoft-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-cloud-revenue-up-20">third-quarter revenue</a> of $70.07 billion and exceeded the Street consensus estimate of $68.43 billion, has been going through massive layoffs.
On Monday, it was reported that Microsoft has announced<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45738506/microsoft-fires-hundreds-more-workers-amid-ai-fueled-growth-calls-it-positioning-the-company-for-success"> another round of layoffs</a>, cutting over 300 jobs just weeks after its largest workforce reduction in years.
Price Action: In the after-hours trading, Nvidia gained an additional 0.19% and had reached $141.49 at the time of writing.
According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Nvidia shows a strong price trend across short-, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional detailed metrics can be found here</a>.

Nvidia Overtakes Microsoft As The World's Most Valuable Company With $3.4 Trillion Market Cap As Morgan Stanley Reaffirms Top Pick Status

Automakers worldwide have criticized China's restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets, which are crucial to automotive production, amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.
What Happened: Automakers from the U.S., Europe, Japan, and India have raised alarms over China's export curbs on raw materials critical to vehicle production, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Beijing's decision to restrict exports came in as a retaliatory measure to U.S. President Donald Trump's 145% tariffs levied on Chinese goods imported into the country. The ongoing trade tensions have severely disrupted the global economy.
A trade group representing General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) and other manufacturers had written to the Trump administration about the threat of China's curbs on exports, the report suggests.
"If the situation is not changed quickly, production delays and even production outages can no longer be ruled out," an expert representing German automakers said in the report.
The report also suggests that a business delegation from Japan will arrive in the country in the coming days to meet with Chinese officials, while officials from the EU are also expected to meet with the Chinese government over the curbs.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as talks between the Trump administration and Beijing have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45685544/scott-bessent-says-us-china-trade-talks-at-stalemate-need-trump-and-xi-jinping-touch-to-break-the-deadlock">currently hit a stalemate</a>, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The current escalating tensions follow a temporary 90-day truce in the trade war that was reached following negotiations between the two governments, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">sent stocks on the rise</a>.
However, Trump has since accused China of violating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45715447/xi-jinpings-china-dismisses-trumps-groundless-accusations-on-geneva-trade-deal-breach-vows-strong-retaliation">Geneva trade agreement </a>following its decision to impose curbs on the exports. Beijing has called the accusations groundless and has vowed to retaliate.

Amid US-China Trade War, Global Automakers Warn Beijing's Curbs On Rare Earth Metals Could Significantly Impact Production

Jim Cramer warned that President Donald Trump&#8216;s unpredictable trade policies are distorting stock valuations and emboldening short sellers who expect daily market declines. 
What Happened: CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/03/jim-cramer-trump-market-stocks-correctly-.html">said</a> Trump&#8217;s tariff threats and confrontational global approach are &#8220;continually confounding traders and investors alike,&#8221; making accurate stock pricing nearly impossible. 
The market uncertainty coincides with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45741617/chinas-manufacturing-activity-crashes-to-2022-lows-in-may-amid-trump-tariff-woes">deteriorating economic fundamentals</a>. China&#8217;s manufacturing activity crashed to its lowest level since September 2022, with the Caixin PMI dropping to 48.3 in May from 50.4 in April—the first contraction in eight months.&nbsp;
New orders fell at their fastest pace in over two years, while U.S. manufacturing also contracted, with the ISM PMI slipping to 48.5%.
Cramer noted markets have been opening lower recently as traders anticipate Trump&#8217;s abrupt statements about trade, China, or major stocks like Apple Inc.

Jim Cramer Says Trump Is 'Distorting Pretty Much Everything' And That's Making It Difficult To Value Stocks: 'People Would Just Rather Be Short'

The&nbsp;New York Stock Exchange submitted a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) exchange-traded filing Tuesday on behalf of&nbsp;Truth Social, the social media platform owned by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: NYSE Arca, a subsidiary of the NYSE, filed a Form 19b-4 with the SEC, seeking to list and trade shares of the proposed &#8220;Truth Social Bitcoin ETF,&#8221; designed to track the price of the apex cryptocurrency.
The filing stated, &#8220;The shares are intended to constitute a simpler means of making an investment similar to an investment in Bitcoin rather than by acquiring, holding and trading Bitcoin directly.&#8221; 
The trust&#8217;s sponsor is&nbsp;Yorkville America Digital, LLC, with&nbsp;Foris DAX Trust Company, LLC&nbsp;serving as the custodian.

The move was the latest in a series of steps geared at increasing the Trump family&#8217;s engagement with the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency. 
Last week, TMTG said it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45635335/donald-trump-jr-says-we-are-seriously-long-bitcoin-and-after-tmtg-reveals-treasury-strategy">would use the proceeds</a> of a $2.5 billion private offering to create a Bitcoin reserve.

The ETFs were expected to comprise a blend of digital assets and securities with a ‘Made in America' emphasis.

Trump's Truth Social Files For Bitcoin ETF As Family Goes 'Seriously Long' On Crypto

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) CEO Alex Karp says real achievement in the age of artificial intelligence depends on sacrificing early social perks for obsessive focus on one's best skill.
What Happened: "I've never met someone successful who had a great social life at 20," Karp told the Economic Club of Chicago recently, urging young employees to &#8220;find the thing you're uniquely good at, and then make sure your whole life is organized around allowing you to do it.&#8221;
Karp said most new hires stall in two ways: they refuse to admit what they're good at and they fail to reorder their lives around that talent. The first failure mode, he explains, is not accepting what you're truly good at, even though that might not be &#8220;what you want to be good at&#8221;. The second trap is not organizing your life around that ability, he says, adding that the adjustment often means fewer parties and more late nights refining craft.

"If that's what you want, that's great. But you're not going to be successful, and don't blame anyone else," he warns.
Karp also advised brutal honesty in relationships, asking recruits to consider, &#8220;How are they going to feel when you dedicate the next ten years of your life to building what you think is valuable?&#8221;
Why It Matters: The comments fit a pattern of blunt counsel from the Ph.D.-trained philosopher who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel in 2003.

What Happened: Bitcoin reached an intraday high of $106,813.58 in the early trading hours before hitting a ceiling and falling back to the $105,000 region. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, recorded a similar trajectory, rallying to $2,650 before reversing to the late $2,500s.&nbsp;
The two blue-chip currencies recorded a dip in 24-hour trading volumes.
The cryptocurrency market saw some drama <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45757170/trump-branded-crypto-wallet-sparks-controversy-trump-family-denies-involvement">after a cryptocurrency wallet bearing the Trump name surfaced</a>. However, the Trump family denied any involvement with the wallet.
About $155 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with bullish bets worth $94 million getting erased.
Bitcoin's Open Interest dropped 2.48% in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum experienced a 317% drop in funds locked in derivatives. Binance traders with open BTC positions increased their short exposure as the Long/Short ratio fell below 1.
The "Greed" sentiment lingered despite the pullback, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.&nbsp;

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant said Bitcoin was targeting $96,000, a key support level that aligns with the average purchase price of short-term investors.
"This level is considered a potential rebound point in the event of a mild price correction," CryptoQuant added. "If liquidity is available, it is advisable to wait and observe market movements, with the possibility of entering new positions after the anticipated correction completes."

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip As Investors Anticipate Trump-Jinping Call: Too Early For An ETH Top? This Analyst Says $3000 Is On Target

On Tuesday, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) demanded the removal of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45481745/donald-trump-backed-gop-bill-seeks-to-ban-states-from-regulating-ai-for-10-years-critics-warn-its-federal-overreach-that-could-backfire">controversial AI provision</a> from President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-and-spending bill, warning she'll oppose it unless the Senate strikes it from the final version.
What Happened: Greene took to X, formerly Twitter, and said she was unaware that the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) included a section barring states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years.
The provision appears on pages 278–279 and would prevent states from creating or enforcing AI-related laws, leaving regulation solely to the federal government.
"I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there," she wrote on X.

Why It's Important: Previously, California state senator Scott Wiener described the measure as "truly gross," stating on social media that while Congress struggles to regulate AI effectively, it's simultaneously trying to prevent states from taking action too.
A bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general also expressed opposition. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, a Republican, said, "Instead of stepping up with real solutions, Congress wants to tie our hands."
Now, Greene's stance could jeopardize the bill's passage, as Republicans hold a narrow House majority and can only afford to lose three votes. Two GOP lawmakers already opposed the bill when it passed the House last month, <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5330705-greene-opposes-ai-regulation-provision/">reported</a> The Hill.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She's 'Adamantly Opposed' To Trump's 'Big Beautiful' Bill Over This AI Provision: 'I Would Have Voted NO If I Had Known This Was In There'

On Tuesday, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45757029/elon-musk-slams-congressional-spending-bill-as-a-disgusting-abomination">criticized</a> President Donald Trump's flagship spending bill, drawing praise from economist Peter Schiff for confronting what both see as Republican fiscal hypocrisy.
What Happened: Musk blasted the proposed legislation—dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"—calling it a "disgusting abomination" that would massively inflate the federal deficit.&nbsp;
"Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Musk, who has stepped down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, stated that the bill would push the annual deficit to $2.5 trillion and saddle Americans with "crushingly unsustainable debt."

Economist and market commentator Schiff supported Musk's remarks, labeling the bill a fraud. "It will actually increase annual deficits by much more as the economic and interest rate assumptions are too optimistic," Schiff posted.

Why It's Important: The bill, passed in the House by a single vote, would extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts and significantly boost military and border security spending.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates it would add $3.8 trillion to the national debt, which already stands at $36.2 trillion, reported Reuters.
On Tuesday, the White House brushed off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing">Musk's latest criticism</a>, similar to how Trump had previously dismissed Musk&#8217;s objections to the legislation.
"The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on the bill," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated during a briefing. "It doesn&#8217;t change the president&#8217;s opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill, and he&#8217;s sticking to it," the report noted.

CoreWeave, Nvidia, Wells Fargo, CrowdStrike, Robinhood: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Anthony Scaramucci, founder and CEO of SkyBridge Capital, supported the idea of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon running for president on Tuesday.
What happened: Scaramucci posted on X a Fortune story titled &#8220;Jamie Dimon for president? Why the banking CEO would be a welcome alternative for many voters,&#8221; deeming the analysis as "spot on."
The op-ed makes a case for Dimon as a potential presidential candidate, suggesting he could appeal to voters seeking a business-savvy and pragmatic leader and one who will implement "sensible" regulations.

Why It Matters: The endorsement was noteworthy given Dimon&#8217;s public criticism of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), an asset Scaramucci vehemently advocates for.
Just last week, Dimon said that the U.S. must focus more on traditional defense priorities and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/05/45709673/us-should-stockpile-bullets-not-bitcoin-jamie-dimon-says">less on stockpiling Bitcoin</a>.

Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $105,593.36, down 0.59% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
Shares of JPMorgan were down 0.06% in after-hours trading after closing 0.61% higher at $266.27 during Tuesday&#8217;s regular trading session.
JPM ranked high on the momentum and growth metrics as of this writing.

Anthony Scaramucci Agrees Bitcoin Skeptic Jamie Dimon Would Be A 'Welcome Alternative' As President

WIIM

BANL stock has given up its prior gain. CBL International shares were trading higher after the company announced a $5 million share repurchase program.

Mark Cuban doesn't sugarcoat what it's like to be wealthy. "It makes ugly people handsome and pretty," he joked during a recent appearance on the &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUwmA0lOWwM">Your Mom's House</a>&#8221; podcast.
The billionaire entrepreneur and former <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45510105/mark-cuban-is-done-with-shark-tank-but-here-are-5-investments-on-the-show-that-made-him-some-serious-money">&#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; investor</a> opened up about how money and fame change how others perceive and treat you.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">People Treated Very Differently After Getting Rich</h2>
&#8220;When you&#8217;re on these lists and everything, people know who you are,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;People treat you differently.&#8221; Cuban, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41403246/mark-cuban-was-so-broke-he-didnt-even-have-200-needed-to-open-a-bank-account-and-now-hes-worth-b">grew up working class in Pittsburgh</a>, said he still values his privacy and avoids expanding his social circle. &#8220;I&#8217;m not looking for new friends. My friends are my high school buddies, my college buddies, my rugby teammates.&#8221;

</ul>
&#8220;There&#8217;s a fame mist. Once you become famous, people like you a lot more. Same with money,&#8221; podcast co-host Christina Pazsitzky said, with Cuban agreeing: &#8220;They go hand in hand.&#8221;
He admits the attention can be uncomfortable. Even his kids sometimes ask him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/42803678/mark-cuban-on-selling-dallas-mavericks-stake-i-didnt-want-my-kids-feeling-the-pressure-of-walking-into-my-spot">not to come</a> to their basketball games because of the commotion. &#8220;They know if I go, the other team will come up and take pictures,&#8221; he said. So sometimes he&#8217;ll just come in the back door.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Money Doesn&#8217;t Guarantee Happiness</h2>
Cuban says the biggest misconception about wealth is that it automatically makes life better. &#8220;If you were happy when you were poor, you&#8217;re going to be happy when you&#8217;re rich. If you were miserable when you were poor, you&#8217;re going to be miserable when you&#8217;re rich.&#8221;
One of his first big purchases? A plane. But he says the real luxury is time. &#8220;The time that you save is money in the bank,&#8221; he told the podcast co-host, Tom Segura. &#8220;The more time you have, the more money you&#8217;ll make.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">He Was Hustling At 16</h2>
Cuban shared a story from his teenage years during a newspaper strike in Pittsburgh. At 16, he and his friends drove to Cleveland, bought up newspapers, and then resold them in Pittsburgh for a profit. They stood on the corners in the morning selling papers for a dollar each when they used to be a quarter, with people even tipping them.
That entrepreneurial spirit never faded. He says he's been that way since age 9 or 10. Today, he encourages his children to follow their own paths. &#8220;You don't have to know what you're going to be when you grow up,&#8221; he told one of his kids. &#8220;Just be curious. The more knowledge you have, the more capabilities and options you have.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">He&#8217;s Still Motivated By Learning</h2>
Even with all his success, Cuban says he still reads daily and keeps learning, especially about AI and healthcare. He credits motivational speaker Zig Ziglar for helping him stay driven early in his career. He&#8217;d drive around listening to the same Zig Ziglar tape over and over to get motivated.
Cuban then emphasized one of his core beliefs: failure is part of the game. &#8220;If you&#8217;re not failing, you&#8217;re not trying.&#8221;
