  How You Can Build a Business That Runs Without You - Ravi Abuvala

  Sep 29, 20261h 31m

  What if the business you built for freedom is actually the thing taking your freedom away?In this episode of The 1% Podcast, Deepak Sharma sits down with Ravi Abuvala, founder of Scaling With Systems, for a conversation about building businesses that can grow without consuming your entire life.Ravi breaks down the systems and frameworks he has developed after working with thousands of businesses, including how to identify the one constraint actually holding a company back, why founders need to learn to let certain fires burn, and how to decide what deserves your attention when everything feels urgent.But this conversation goes far beyond scaling.Ravi opens up about his evolution from obsessively optimizing every minute of his life to building what he calls “work-life harmony.” They talk about discipline, dopamine, burnout, the danger of chasing someone else’s definition of success, and what happens when making more money stops solving the problems that actually matter.Ravi also shares the shift that happened when he realized he had reached financial independence, why making over $1 million in a single day barely made him feel anything, how writing a Life Manifesto changed the way he approached success, and the deeply personal experience that reinforced just how limited our time really is.⚡ SPECIAL OFFER FROM GOHIGHLEVELGoHighLevel is the platform Deepak has used for years to manage leads, track his sales pipeline, automate follow-ups, collect payments, and keep Put Out Content organized.Try GoHighLevel FREE for an entire month:https://www.gohighlevel.com/deep30 Access the tools, offers, and ways to work with me: https://linktr.ee/deepaksharma.co Enjoyed the episode?

  The Secret Behind Why You Self Sabotage

  Aug 25, 202659 min

  What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t your circumstances, but the beliefs running underneath them? In this episode of The 1% Podcast, Deepak Sharma sits down with high-performance mental coach Brandon Epstein for a deep conversation on rewiring the subconscious, letting go of fear, and becoming the version of yourself capable of creating the life you actually want. Brandon works with high-performing entrepreneurs, business leaders, and professional athletes, including UFC fighters and world-class boxers, to uncover the beliefs, emotional patterns, and unresolved wounds that can quietly limit performance. They unpack why trying to control everything often creates more suffering, how to sit in the tension before a breakthrough, and why your ability to focus on what you can control in the present moment may be one of your greatest advantages. Brandon also shares how he held the vision for his dream home and retreat space in Colombia years before it became reality, what happened when he suddenly needed the money to finish building it, and how an unexpected opportunity to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast changed everything. ⚡ SPECIAL OFFER FROM GOHIGHLEVEL GoHighLevel is the platform Deepak has used for years to manage leads, track his sales pipeline, automate follow-ups, collect payments, and keep Put Out Content organized.

  From 20 Arrests to $20m a Year: The Chris Cavallini Story

  Aug 11, 20261h 51m

  20 arrests. A drug addict mother. An ultimatum: jail or the military. Today he runs a $25M company. In this episode of The 1% Show, Deepak Sharma sits down with Chris Cavallini — former Navy deep sea diver, eight-figure entrepreneur, and founder of Nutrition Solutions — for a conversation about what it actually costs to build something meaningful. Chris shares the full arc: 17 arrests before his 18th birthday, the personal development books that rewired how he thinks, the year he discovered half a million dollars had been stolen from his company and fired 12 people in a single day, and the relationship he lost six months ago because he couldn't carry the weight of the business without turning into someone he didn't recognize. Deepak also gets honest about where he's at right now — the financial pressure of running an agency, the habits that have slipped, and the uncomfortable gap between working hard and having something to show for it. Chris doesn't offer comfort. He offers a playbook. Together, they get tactical on energy management, financial literacy, investing, building systems that force the result, and why progress is the most powerful antidepressant there is. If you're grinding without traction, carrying financial stress in silence, or wondering why success hasn't made you feel the way you thought it would, this episode is for you. In this episode, we discuss: How Chris went from 20 arrests to a $25M business Why radical responsibility is the only real starting point The victim mindset, and why the people who have it never know What the military taught him about standards and systems Why "working hard" is a story most people tell themselves The difference between going to the gym and actually training Energy as the non-negotiable requirement for winning Why teleprompter content is beating people who've actually lived it Making $300K and still living paycheck to paycheck Discovering $500K in theft and firing 12 people in one day Why the tax code is a playbook most entrepreneurs never read Why scarcity never creates abundance How Chris invests, and the 20% benchmark he thinks you should hit The betrayal that cost him his best relationship Men's mental health, and why depression can be a call to action If this conversation hit something for you, let us know your biggest takeaway in the comments.

  Making Millions with Home Services - Adam Chapman

  Jun 10, 202640 min

  This week I sat down with Adam Chapman, entrepreneur, coach, and one of the most unapologetic voices in the world of blue collar business. Before the client wins, the Panama move, and the six figure exits, Adam was cleaning windows out of the back of his car in Canada. He built his first company with nothing but hustle, sold it, and is now helping hundreds of others build their own through Home Service U. In this episode we talk about what really happens after the exit. The identity shifts. The ego deaths. The parts of entrepreneurship no one warns you about. We unpack why Adam believes the home services industry is one of the fastest ways to build true freedom and why most people are still sleeping on it. He opens up about the cost of growth, the discipline it takes to lead, and the fire that still drives him to wake up before sunrise and chase something bigger than money. We also get personal. From leaving Canada to building a new life in Panama, Adam shares how he’s redefining legacy, relationships, and what it means to live a life you’re proud of—one that’s simple, honest, and built on values. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need permission to build wealth. You just need the courage to do hard things well. 🎯 Access the tools, offers, and ways to work with me: https://linktr.ee/deepaksharma.co 📲 Enjoyed the episode?
