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.

It’s Not That Deep

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.

This week on The 1% Podcast, Deepak sits down with Jake Nauseef, a content creator who gained over 450,000 followers in less than a year by doing what most people overlook: staying consistent.

Jake breaks down how documenting simple daily routines turned into a powerful personal brand, and why you don’t need extreme habits to stand out, just the discipline to show up every day. From posting multiple times a day with zero traction to building a loyal audience, he shares the real process behind growing on social media.

They dive into the mindset required to succeed as a creator, why most people fail when they focus on money first, and how purpose and service are what actually sustain long-term success. Jake also opens up about his journey from working a 9 to 5 at BlackRock to becoming a full-time creator, and the moment he knew it was time to bet on himself.

Beyond content, this conversation explores deeper themes like faith, discipline, community, and what it really takes to build confidence. From waking up early and running marathons to embracing discomfort, Jake shares the habits that helped him transform his life.

In this episode of The 1% Podcast, Deep sits down with Robert Breedlove for a conversation that challenges how you think about money, identity, and the way you operate in the world.

What starts as a discussion about money quickly turns into something much deeper. Robert breaks down what money actually is, not just as currency, but as a tool for freedom, communication, and optionality in your life. They explore why most people misunderstand money, how systems like fractional reserve banking really work, and why understanding this game is one of the most important things you can do.

But this episode goes beyond economics.

Deep opens up about his own relationship with money, from scarcity and self-sabotage to hitting and losing $100K months, leading into a powerful conversation around beliefs, identity, and reprogramming your mind. Robert shares how humans are inherently “programmable,” and how your habits, thoughts, and environment shape your reality more than you think.

They also dive into:

• Why most people are operating on unconscious patterns
• The link between money, freedom, and personal responsibility
• How discipline and “doing what you don’t want to do” literally rewires your brain
• The concept of 1% better and the power of compounding in real life
• Why understanding money might be the difference between playing the game… or being played

This is not a typical business podcast. It’s a conversation about how to take control of your life, your mindset, and your future by understanding the systems around you and the patterns within you.

Deep sits down with Sam Maxwell, entrepreneur and co-founder of Cold Life, for a conversation on reinvention, resilience, and what it really takes to build a premium brand in a crowded market. Sam shares how he went from failed e-commerce ventures, addiction, and rock bottom to founding one of the fastest-growing cold plunge companies on the market, and why cold therapy became the catalyst that changed his life.

They get into the brutal early days of building Cold Life, from defective chillers that nearly put the company out of business to the conviction it took to stay committed to American manufacturing, product quality, and long-term trust. Sam breaks down how the company turned adversity into a competitive advantage, why most brands lose by cutting corners, and how Cold Life positioned itself as the luxury standard in the category.

Deep and Sam also go deep on founder-led marketing, sales, and the power of becoming the face of your brand. Sam explains why his own content and ads now outperform every other promoter, how authenticity beats polished influencer content, and why consumers trust operators who are willing to show up, tell the truth, and stand behind what they sell. They also unpack the strategy behind partnerships with names like Gary Brecka, Mark Wahlberg, and Rolls-Royce, and what it takes to earn that kind of alignment.

The conversation also touches on coaching, masculinity, relationships, and the discipline required to build something meaningful without losing yourself in the process. Sam shares the personal story of how coaching helped him rebuild his confidence and identity, why the right relationship can sharpen your focus, and how he’s learning to balance ambition, business, faith, and real life as Cold Life enters its next chapter.

Deep sits down with Madeleine Raiford, short-term rental coach and business strategist, for a conversation that might completely change how you think about leverage, systems, and freedom.

Madeleine runs a 7-figure short-term rental business with 20+ Airbnb “doors”… in less than an hour a week. How? She breaks down the exact mindset and operating system behind it: documenting every task, building SOPs as you go, using tools like Loom, delegating fast, and designing your life around what actually lights you up. Her rule is simple: if it lives in your head, it’s not scalable.

This episode goes deep into what it really takes to go from six figures to seven. Not just tactics, but identity. Madeleine shares how hiring a “money boss” changed everything, why outsourcing requires self-honesty, and how founders get stuck in hustle mode because their nervous system is addicted to having their back against the wall. They also talk about the hidden guilt that comes with buying back time, the friendships you outgrow, and why building systems is the least sexy thing… until it becomes the most freeing.

They also unpack short-term rentals like you’re in fifth grade: how to pick markets, why the industry is professionalizing, what separates “hobby hosts” from real operators, and the three ways to get started (including options that don’t require owning property). Deep shares his own Airbnb story, the HOA shutdown that ended his first run, and why he’s now committed to building assets beyond a service business.

The episode closes with a powerful reflection on balance, motherhood, legacy, and the question that re-centers everything: how do you want to be remembered by your kids?

Deep sits down with Trevor Hague, brand builder and founder of TBD Ventures, to unpack what it really takes to build and scale modern CPG brands, and why discipline is the foundation for everything.They start with the morning routine that’s non negotiable for Trevor (wake up early, gratitude, move the body), and why doing the hardest thing first changes the rest of your day as an entrepreneur and as a father. From there, Trevor opens up about his years in the alcohol industry, the lifestyle that came with it, and the moment he realized it was costing him his health, his energy, and the way he wanted to show up at home. He breaks down the identity shift required to get sober, why the first week is the hardest, and the unexpected benefits that compound over time: clarity, focus, energy, and getting your mornings back.Then they go deep on the business side: how Trevor helps founders raise capital, build distribution, and earn real velocity in the nonalcoholic and better for you space. They talk culture capital, why most CPG brands fail early, how consumer psychology around nonalc is changing (including “pacers” and “zebra striping”), and what separates the brands that exit big from the ones that never break through.

Deep sits down with Fred Talisman, a relationship coach with 50+ years of experience, to break down why so many couples stay stuck in the same fights for years, and how he’s helped thousands of people get out of crisis fast and rebuild something that actually lasts.

Fred shares the core philosophy behind his work: stop obsessing over “why” things happen and focus on “how” they happen, because skills create change, not insight. He explains why “talk it out when you’re upset” is one of the most damaging myths in modern relationships, and why the real rule is simple but hard: only communicate when you’re both in positive emotion.

They get into practical tools you can use immediately, including:

• “Choice points” and how to speak with honesty that has a positive intention.

• The pattern interruption that works in any situation (yes, even mid fight) and why it matters.

• Fred’s “train of thought writing” method (not journaling) to release negative emotion in minutes.

• Why date nights should never be used to dump unresolved issues, and what to do instead.

• The four boundaries that drastically reduce the risk of infidelity.

• How one person can shift the entire relationship, even if their partner refuses therapy.

Fred also shares powerful stories and ideas that stuck with Deep, from the “avatar effect” of catching your partner doing things right, to the Gandhi principle of living what you teach, to why divorce often leaves kids without a real sense of “home.”

Deep sits down with Jay Roberts, real estate developer and CEO of The Prosper Group, to break down how he went from Wall Street to building a $2.8B+ real estate development pipeline with over 1,300 luxury residences in progress.

This conversation explores how elite operators actually think and execute at scale. Jay shares the habits he lives by, why “money loves speed,” and how he evaluates opportunities before the rest of the market even realizes they exist.

They get into the real mechanics of real estate development for beginners, with Jay explaining the process “like you’re in fifth grade.” From underwriting deals and picking the right markets to understanding supply and demand, capital stacks, and knowing when a deal is truly a “hell yes.”

Deep and Jay also dive into the less obvious edge most people ignore: health, energy, and identity as performance tools. Jay breaks down how visualization, affirmations, and daily systems help him operate under pressure, protect his time, and play the long game. He also explains why the first hire he recommends for any entrepreneur is a personal assistant to buy back time and focus on what actually moves the needle.

They wrap with a powerful reflection on fatherhood, discipline, and legacy, and how priorities shift when you stop chasing distractions and start building a life you don’t need to escape from.
