Listen "Episode 153: Plead the F.I.F.T.H"
Episode Synopsis
Do you have a mantra or framework that guides your life? For Johnson “JT” Tran, Chief Channel Officer at HelpDesk.tech, his philosophy isn’t about empty slogans—it’s about living with intentionality. From growing up as a first-generation Vietnamese American, to overcoming life-threatening challenges, to achieving financial freedom and “unofficial retirement” by age 36, JT’s story is one of grit, perspective, and reclaiming what truly matters.
Highlights include:
Breakdown of JT’s mantra “I Plead the F.I.F.T.H.” —Faith, Integrity, Family, Time, and Health.
Lessons learned from martial arts and Bruce Lee.
Why leaders must embrace “real talk” to build stronger teams and healthier cultures.
