In this powerful episode of The One Percent Podcast, I sit down with Tony Brown—a seasoned compliance consultant, father, and former client—who shares the life-altering journey that made him reevaluate everything.

From lockdown burnout and unsustainable habits to a terrifying health scare that left him alone in a hospital bed thinking he might not make it out—Tony opens up about the rock bottom moment that forced him to confront how he was really living.

This episode isn’t about burnout clichés or hustle culture—it’s a raw look at the reality for many high-performing men juggling careers, fatherhood, and expectations. Tony shares what truly changed his trajectory: shifting priorities, dropping the pressure, and doing the work.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in survival mode, running on fumes, or pretending everything’s fine when it’s not—this episode is your call to take a step back, reflect, and do something before life forces your hand.
