There's a moment midway through where something shifts—when a man who sleeps five and a half hours and works until 1 a.m. says he never wanted to be an entrepreneur, talks about his father calling the answering service during family vacations, and describes it all as a curse. Then he says he's one of the happiest people alive. No one laughs. They just listen.
Mark Kramer built Vin University in Hanoi from nothing, founded Asia's first high school entrepreneurship competition, and has raised over $3.2 billion across 30 startups—all without making personal wealth yet. But this isn't a credentials conversation. It's about a man who scored 725 on his SATs, got rejected by every school except one he'd never heard of, and somehow ended up teaching at Wharton shaping the next generation of Asian founders. In this episode of Every Day's a Train Wreck, you'll hear how fearlessness, refusal to accept limitations, and an almost reckless belief in possibility can rewire everything.
Marley Majcher spent days with Kramer in Vietnam and returns to unpack what actually separates people who try from people who change things. They dig into effort as your only real variable, pivots that take a decade, and the man who turned flood-damaged kitty litter into a $255 million idea. This conversation is about the stories you believe about yourself—and which ones you need to burn down immediately.
