If you don’t know who Randi Zuckerberg is, she is the sister of the dude that has made billions by destroying your privacy.

Mark Cuban Shares His Insights

Billionaire dude Mark Cuban shares some advice.

“If you have managers reporting to managers in a startup, you will fail. Once you get beyond startup, if you have managers reporting to managers, you will create politics.”

“Open offices keep everyone in tune with what is going on and keep the energy up. If an employee is about privacy, show him or her how to use the lock on the bathroom.”
