from Driven: Unscripted Success · host Michael Mannino Sr. & Nareman Hamdan
In this episode, we sit down with Anthony Tran, a security systems sales engineer who’s built a career at the intersection of tech, service, and grit. Anthony brings over a decade of experience working with major government agencies like the DOD and Homeland Security. Starting as a cable puller and rising through the ranks, he shares how deep knowledge and attention to detail in access control can mean the difference between vulnerability and safety. Anthony opens up about leadership lessons learned from Boy Scouts, why communication makes or breaks both teams and security plans, and how he took a major risk that led to a contract win—without even walking the job site first. Oh, and there’s paintball, too. A lot of it. Coaching a rising youth team in South Carolina, Anthony reveals what this chaotic sport taught him about strategy, team growth, and building trust. -------------------------------------------------------- Be a Guest: Are you a successful Naples-area business owner, entrepreneur, or professional with insights to share?
