  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?

  You're Not Burnt Out. You're Disconnected (with Jonah Kest)

  May 6, 20261h 57m

  This week on The 1% Podcast, Deepak sits down with Jonah Kest, a Nike Master Trainer and one of the leading voices in breathwork, movement, and mental resilience. Jonah shares his journey from growing up around yoga to becoming a global coach, and how his path has always been rooted in one core idea: mastering yourself before anything else. What starts as a conversation about fitness quickly evolves into something much deeper. They explore how breath, awareness, and discipline shape not just your body, but your identity. They dive into the difference between chasing external success and building internal stability, why most people are disconnected from their own bodies, and how simple daily practices can completely shift the way you experience life. Jonah breaks down how breathwork can regulate your nervous system, improve performance, and help you handle stress in a way most people never learn. Beyond that, this episode touches on purpose, presence, and what it really means to be in control of your life. From building routines that actually stick to letting go of the need for constant stimulation, this conversation challenges the way we think about growth and fulfillment. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you’re constantly chasing the next thing, this episode will bring you back to what actually matters. 🎯 Access the tools, offers, and ways to work with me: https://linktr.ee/deepaksharma.co 📲 Enjoyed the episode?
