New episode out today!
Jimmy Tran blends business acumen with deep personal perspective. As the former VP of Corporate Strategy and M&A at CBRE, Jimmy led over $2 billion in acquisitions and played a key role in tripling earnings in just 8 years. He also spent time as a management consultant with Bain & Company, working in Dallas, Hong Kong, and Singapore, helping global leaders make smarter, faster decisions.
But Jimmy’s outlook is shaped by more than just boardrooms and spreadsheets. His parents came to the U.S. as refugees from Vietnam- a legacy that continues to inform his approach to leadership and opportunity.

Premiering Tomorrow: The Entrepreneur’s Journey: Hard Truths About Scaling & Raising Capital with Kevin Lavelle
Kevin is the CEO & Cofounder of Harbor. He’s also the Founder and Chairman of the Board at Mizzen+Main, where he invented the world’s first performance fabric dress shirt, ultimately driving it to hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.
He successfully raised a growth round from L Catterton and established partnerships with athletes like Phil Mickelson, JJ Watt, and dozens of others. Today, Mizzen+Main has more than ten of its own stores with 1,000 retailers also carrying its products.
Kevin is a devoted husband and father of two. When his Nanit app crashed on their family, leaving his newborn son unmonitored overnight, he set out to build a secure, reliable, quality solution that parents and kids deserve. He and cofounder Charlie Hill have built Harbor over the last two years to create happier parents and healthier families, one restful night at a time, and democratize access to sleep expertise. Harbor investors include Trust Ventures, Morrison Seger Venture Capital Partners, Capital Factory, Tim Ferriss, and several professional athletes.
Kevin lives in Dallas with his wife, Jen, and their two kids. He graduated summa cum laude from SMU Cox School of Business and has been named EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year and Southern Methodist University’s Distinguished Alumni Emerging Leader.
