    Grit, Purpose, and Vision: Why This 18-Year-Old Turned Beach Trash Into an AI Startup

    In this episode of Talk2B, we sit down with 18-year-old Vietnamese entrepreneur Khôi Anh, a recent Vinschool Hanoi graduate heading to UMass Amherst to study AI. He's the founder of Binsity (formerly TrashCam), an AI-powered smart bin that uses a camera and machine learning to sort trash automatically — an idea that started as a haunting image from a family beach trip in Vietnam and turned into a real, tested prototype. Khôi Anh opens up about what it actually took to get there: funding his own AI model when competition prize money fell short, manually photographing hundreds of pieces of trash by hand to build a dataset that would actually work in Vietnam, and learning from a mentor who taught him the fundamentals but refused to write the code for him. He's honest about what's still broken — the physical sorting mechanism remains the last unsolved piece — and unfiltered about why he'd rather build something with real environmental impact than chase billion-dollar scale. With the same directness he brings to his AI models, Khôi Anh reflects on why "day one" beats a perfect plan, compares his own underdog story to recycling giant TerraCycle's, and talks about juggling basketball, piano, and two side research projects with the same discipline he's building his company on. Join Talk2B as we sit down and uncover what it really means to turn a frustration into a company, one prototype test at a time.

    Risk, Ego, and Identity: Why This 16-Year-Old Dropped Out to Build Two Businesses

    In this powerful debut episode of Talk2B, we sit down with 16-year-old Australian entrepreneur Hew Caffin, a high school dropout who’s already building two businesses from the ground up. But this episode goes far deeper than just business. Hew opens up about the emotional and financial risks he’s taken—leaving school behind, quitting a $500/day construction job, and waking up at 4:45 AM to chase purpose. He shares how reading, writing, and carefully choosing the people around him have shaped his mindset at a young age. With unfiltered honesty, he challenges the definition of entrepreneurship, explores the role of ego in ambition, and reflects on why identity matters more than any one path to success. Join hosts Bach, Jennifer, and Michael as they uncover the raw truth behind what it really means to grow up fast, take risks early, and build a life that’s completely your own.
