The One Percent Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. In this episode, we sit down with Calum Johnson, host of The Calum Johnson Show. Most people know him for his incredible conversations with high-level guests. We got to know Calum Johnson before the 250,000 subscribers. Before the fame, and before the thousands of downloads on each episode. We talk honestly about what it means to bet on yourself before the results show up — why he quit a stable job, to remove the safety net, and choosing commitment over comfort. At the time he left his job, the podcast was only getting around 100 downloads. No momentum. No guarantees. No clear sign that it would work. This isn’t a highlight-reel conversation. It’s about the uncomfortable middle. creating when nobody is watching, believing before validation exists. The difference between interest and real commitment. Why most people quit right before momentum arrives. Letting go of outcomes and focusing on the process. What success actually costs in the long term.

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. As always, thank you for your continued support of each episode. In this episode, we sat down with my two good friends from The Journey Podcast, John Scafiddi and Zach Cummings. We examine in depth the conversations men rarely have out loud — fear of vulnerability, intimacy, commitment, and what it actually means to love and be loved.We talk about why men pull away when things get real, why giving your all feels terrifying, and how ego, fear, and past wounds quietly sabotage relationships. From emotional intimacy versus physical intimacy to why modern dating feels broken, this conversation explores the truth about love that most people don’t realize until it’s too late.This isn’t surface-level dating advice.It’s an honest conversation about masculinity, accountability, values, and what real love actually requires.If you’re a man trying to understand yourself better — or someone trying to understand the men in your life — this episode is for you.Timestamps:00:00 – If Your Life Were a Movie… What Would the Audience Say?02:05 – The Leader Who Always Puts Himself Last04:18 – Why We Avoid Doing What We Know We Should06:45 – Fear of Giving Your All (And Still Failing)09:10 – Succeeding & Failing in Public vs Private11:30 – Nobody Cares About Your Failures (Except You)13:40 – Do Men & Women Want Different Things in Relationships?15:55 – Masculine vs Feminine Energy Explained18:45 – Why Equality in Relationships Is Complicated22:05 – When Men Feel Emasculated24:55 – Why Men Are Afraid to Need Someone27:10 – Men Crave Intimacy (But Never Say It)30:40 – Sex vs Emotional Intimacy for Men33:45 – When a Man Truly Opens Up to a Woman35:40 – Do Shared Values Matter More Than Chemistry?38:30 – Why Relationships Fail Even When There’s Love40:45 – What Is Love, Really?42:50 – Love Is Action, Not a Feeling45:15 – Why Consistency Matters More Than Passion48:40 – Is Modern Dating Broken?52:10 – Too Many Options Ruined Relationships54:45 – Why People Self-Sabotage Love56:25 – Accountability vs “I’m Just a Girl” Culture59:15 – The Danger of Outsiders in Your Relationship1:05:55 – One Relationship Lesson We Wish We Knew Earlier1:07:40 – You Must Love Yourself First

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. Today, we sat down with fellow podcaster Julian Dorey. Julian has cultivated a following of over two million across all platforms and has spoken with some of the world's most talented individuals. In this inspirational and deeply transparent conversation, we explore the real inner battles that shape confidence, identity, and purpose. From growing up as an only child, to struggling with anxiety and the “inner roommate” that never stops talking, Julian opens up about the moments that nearly broke him—and the choices that changed everything.We dive into the truth behind confidence: how it’s built through conflict. We also examine the modern mental health landscape, the balance between resilience and compassion, and whether society has become too soft—or finally self-aware.You’ll hear the raw story of turning down a life-changing opportunity on Wall Street, buying podcast gear with no plan, and betting everything during the pandemic. This episode shows how desire, necessity, and a relentless work ethic can collide to create purpose. The psychology of confidence. The inner voice that sabotages us, the dangers of over-identifying with anxiety, what fulfillment really looks like, and the misunderstood reality of being a podcaster. This is one of those conversations that sticks with you. Real. Unfiltered. Human.If you’ve ever questioned who you are, where you're going, or whether you’re capable of more—this episode is for you.Links To Find Julian: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChs-BsSX71a_leuqUk7vtDghttps://www.instagram.com/juliandoreypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/julianddoreywww.youtube.com/@UC0A-v_DL-h76F75xik8h03Q

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. Today, we sat down with Zach Owings, a former major league professional baseball player for the Miami Marlins. Growing up, Zach's success was only measured by how well he performed in sports, and his self-worth was tied to his performance in sports. As a result, he struggled to understand his value to the world, his love for himself, and, more importantly, his self-worth. When Zach got drafted to the Miami Marlins, he labeled it as “the worst day of his life”. All the years of hard work and dedication leading to this moment, and it didn’t feel like everything he hoped for. He eventually came to the realization that baseball wasn’t his dream, but rather his family's. Everything changed when Zach one day came across Gary Vaynerchuk’s content, and his whole perspective on life was altered. He ended up quitting baseball and started to work for his idol and now mentor, Garyvee. In this episode, we cover self-worth and identity being tied to sports, not connecting with family and parents at a young age, how much Garyvee has meant to Zach and his life, the struggles of personal relationships & romantic relationships, and so much more! 

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. In this episode, we sat down with the Director of Luxery Sales of Serhant, Alan Gabay.

He opens up about the impact these two women have had on him, and the emotional stories that he remembers from when they were both still here. Also, he opens up on how money has hurt his relationships, and how it in fact doesn’t constitute to happiness.
