From Sleeping in his Car to Building Miami’s Hottest Event - Story of Eric Brown + Coffee and Chill

from The 1% with Deepak Sharma · host Deepak Sharma

This week I sit down with Eric Brown, community builder, creative force, and the man behind one of Miami’s most unexpected movements: Coffee & Chill.Before the sold-out events, the sunrise cold plunges, and the 1,000-person Sundays without a single drop of alcohol, Eric was sleeping in his car, wrestling with faith, identity, and the pressure to become someone he no longer recognized.In this episode we dive deep into the journey that led him from burnout and anxiety to purpose and presence. He opens up about the moment he chose surrender over control, how one quiet “yes” turned into a movement, and why real connection is the most healing drug we’re all missing.We talk about what it means to build community from the ground up—not as a strategy, but as a survival instinct. We unpack faith, masculine vulnerability, the loneliness epidemic, and the courage it takes to build something you can’t fully explain but feel with every fiber of your being.Eric’s story is a reminder that you don’t need a blueprint to create something meaningful. You just need to start. If you’ve ever felt like you’re meant for more, like something in you is waking up, this one’s for you.🎯 Access the tools, offers, and ways to work with me: https://linktr.ee/deepaksharma.co📲 Enjoyed the episode?
