How Winners Think Under Pressure | Vinh Tran

Vinh Tran spent 31 years in automotive, before he became the first employee for an autonomous robotics company. Vinh shared his story about his boxing career. He trained two nights a week for 6 months, and fought in front of a sold out room at the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo. He learned the importance of being prepared. That same mindset - prepare for the fight before you ever step in the ring - is what he leaned on when he left a stable executive career to start something from nothing at MyBull Intelligence Machinery, which builds outdoor autonomous mobile robots. Here’s what we covered on the podcast: → Moving his family to Japan and learning the farmer mindset with customers → The six month lead up to a charity boxing match → Why his wife Liz has been the reason he could take every risk he's taken → Building the customer trust process from scratch as employee number one → What MyBull is solving with outdoor autonomous mobile robots Thank you to Vinh for making the time between running MyBull's expansion across and everything else on his plate to come on the show! *Chapters* 00:00 Intro 01:00 From Wayne State to CRO of an autonomous robotics company 01:56 23 years at Continental, from project manager to VP 05:09 The calculated risk of moving his family to Japan 06:49 Learning the farmer mindset with customers 12:03 Signing up for Executive Fight Night 15:11 Meeting the kid his fight was for 21:17 Inside the fight night at the Grand Hyatt 33:26 A shoutout to his wife, Liz 38:34 Becoming employee number one at MyBull \~~~ This episode is powered by *TeamSense* TeamSense is the AI-powered shift intelligence platform that automates attendance, connects every worker, and drives performance across your operation — all through text.
