Only Winners Will Get This...

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

- 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.
