Carlisle, who joined the Mark Cuban Companies in 2021 as a venture capital associate, is hosting a new podcast that launched Tuesday—and “It’s Just Business.” On the podcast series, Carlisle will interview founders about how they started their businesses and lessons learned along the way.
“My first guest is Alex Oshmyansky, MD, PhD, founder and CEO of Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, PBC,” Carlisle writes on LinkedIn. “We’ll talk about how he started CPD, its impact on the pharma industry, how it’s helping American consumers, and more.”
“My hope is that this series sheds light on the unsexy parts of entrepreneurship: the roadblocks overcome, the hard-won lessons, the costly mistakes,” she adds. “I hope that fellow founders find wisdom in the stories of those on a similar path. I hope that anyone watching finds inspiration to persevere in the face of adversity.”
In her post, Carlisle also mentions the launch of The MCC Network, “the first interactive company-building network for entrepreneurs and industry titans to share advice and win at business together.” (Check back with Dallas Innovates Wednesday for our story about that.)

Whether he's buying a pro pickleball team or disrupting big pharma with his cost-plus drug company, Mark Cuban says he's a "ready, fire, aim" businessman. So he surrounds himself with "ready, aim, fire" perfectionists to keep him from "screwing everything up." That's just one insight the billionaire shared in a fireside chat with Backstage Capital founder Arlan Hamilton at the Venture Dallas conference last week. “There's always going to be somebody smarter, there's always going to be somebody faster, better," Cuban added. "I just try to work a little harder.”
