Building a Peptides Company From the Bahamas

What if you could run an eight-figure business from a catamaran in the Bahamas? In this episode of The 1% Podcast, Deepak Sharma joins entrepreneur John Snedegar aboard his catamaran, Disco Daddy, to explore what it really takes to build a successful business while living life on your own terms. John is the founder of a nationwide telehealth company that has served over 21,000 patients. But instead of waiting until retirement to pursue his dream of sailing the world, he decided to make it happen in his mid-30s. From buying a repossessed catamaran with broken electronics to navigating the Bahamas while managing a remote team, John shares the unexpected challenges, financial realities, and rewards of choosing an unconventional lifestyle. The conversation also dives into the rapidly evolving world of health optimization. John breaks down peptides, GLP-1 medications, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), sexual health, and why understanding your body is essential to performing at your best. Deepak even shares his own experience with peptides and gets a closer look at his testosterone levels. Beyond business and health, they discuss relationships, adventure, trusting your intuition, building a strong remote company culture, and why you shouldn't wait until retirement to start living the life you want. Whether you're an entrepreneur chasing financial freedom, someone interested in optimizing your health, or simply questioning what success should look like, this episode will challenge you to think differently. 🎯 Access the tools, offers, and ways to work with me: https://linktr.ee/deepaksharma.co 📲 Enjoyed the episode?
