In March 2012, Tran held a live interview with Juju Chang on ABC's Nightline, who compared him with the likes of Jeremy Lin, John Cho, Harry Shum, Jr., and Daniel Dae Kim. ^{[4] [5]} He talked about how he failed with the ladies in the past, mostly due to typical Asian stereotypes of having "good grades but poor social skills," yet he became successful later by "applying his systematic engineering skills to dating" and these are the skills he teaches men at ABCs of Attraction today. ^{[4] [6] [ unreliable source? ]} To prove that his methods work, the TV crew followed Tran during the lecture and later out into the field live and unstaged. ^[4]
