Most people try to fix inner tension by achieving more—and it quietly makes life heavier instead of lighter.

Recording in real time from the Mediterranean, Maurice Philogene shares a grounded realization sparked by an Emmett Fox passage and decades of lived experience as a police officer, entrepreneur, investor, and family man. This episode cuts through spiritual abstraction and explains why resistance—not circumstances—is what actually creates stress, pressure, and emotional weight.

In this episode, Maurice explores:

• Why condemning actions (not people) instantly reduces inner resistance and restores clarity

• How emotional regulation and perception determine outcomes more than force or effort

• What “building an enterprise” really means—and why the most important one is internal

This conversation is an invitation to stop outsourcing peace to external success, stop waiting for permission, and start building the internal enterprise that ultimately governs how life feels.

What if the thing you’re missing most in life isn’t success—but play?

In this episode of Try Life On, Maurice Philogene sits down with Marisa Wong, Founder & CEO of M Experiences, to explore how intentional travel and shared experiences can wake adults back up to joy, connection, and purpose. Marisa shares her journey from corporate life to building a family-run experiences company—after getting fired, following an inner nudge, and teaching scuba diving on a remote island in Asia.

Together, they unpack why entertainment without transformation falls flat, how creating the right environment helps people drop the mask, and why experiences—especially the hard ones—shape who we become. This conversation is a powerful reminder that life isn’t meant to be a checklist—it’s meant to be felt.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why adults have forgotten how to dream—and how to relearn it
• The difference between entertainment and truly transformational experiences
• How intentional play fuels creativity, leadership, and deeper human connection

If you’ve been grinding, building, and doing all the “right” things—but feel a part of you has gone quiet—this episode is your permission slip to feel human again.

What if being a great dad isn’t about doing more—but thinking differently?

In this powerful conversation, Maurice Philogene sits down with Jeff Hittner, founder of Ambitious Dads, to unpack the invisible pressure modern fathers carry—and why so many high-achieving men feel confident at work but uncertain at home. Jeff shares how redefining fatherhood through intention, presence, and flexibility transformed not only his parenting, but his entire life.

Together, they explore modern fatherhood, ambition without burnout, and how creating space—emotionally and physically—can change the way dads show up for their kids. This episode challenges outdated parenting norms and offers a refreshing, honest look at what it really means to lead at home.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why presence matters more than perfection in fatherhood

• How ambition at work can quietly undermine connection at home

• The power of flexibility, unstructured play, and intentional parenting

• Why many men feel shame and guilt as dads—and how to break that cycle

• How creating space (time, mental, and emotional) changes everything

If you’re an ambitious parent trying to balance success, family, and self—this conversation will shift how you see fatherhood and yourself.

What if you didn’t have to destroy your current life to create your next one?

Maurice sits down with Marc Weisi, a former coaching client and Wall Street professional who quietly designed a life of freedom—without burning the boats or chasing overnight success.

Marc shares how he used his 9–5 as leverage, made “boring but powerful” financial decisions, and slowly built optionality that allowed him to walk away from corporate life at 37.

When a family health scare forced a moment of truth, Marc didn’t panic, rather he stepped into a life he’d been practicing and building.

Today, he splits time between Puerto Rico and the U.S., runs a boutique hotel, consults on projects he cares about, and designs his days on his own terms.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• ​Why you don’t need to quit your job to reclaim your time
• ​How to practice a future lifestyle before committing to it
• ​The power of leveraging W-2 income instead of resenting it
• ​Why freedom is a skill set—not a destination

What if the moment you fear most becomes the one that finally sets you free?

When Lolly Spindler got a phone call in Cambodia telling her she was fired effective immediately, she had two options: run back to safety… or bet on herself. That single moment became the catalyst for a life built on intention, creativity, and radical self-trust.

In this conversation with Maurice, Lolly shares how losing her full-time job pushed her to grow her freelance writing business, move abroad, and eventually build a life-changing coaching practice helping others heal and design their lives through writing. She opens up about identity shifts, fear, intuition, the emotional side of storytelling, and how to create a life that actually fits you.

We explore:

• ​How to treat your side skill as a real path, not a hobby
• ​Why writing slows your brain down enough to hear your intuition
• ​How to move through identity shifts without blowing up your life
• ​The truth about living abroad, building community, and creating a “family of choice”
• ​Why you don’t need permission to expand, evolve, or reinvent yourself

This episode invites you to ask:

Where am I waiting for permission? And what life could open up if I finally gave it to myself?

What if your life could expand the moment you stopped shrinking yourself to fit the status quo?

Maurice breaks down the deeper meaning behind the three pillars he’s been exploring: human performance, human dignity, and human divinity. Drawing from years of coaching, global travel, military leadership, and a lifetime of unconventional choices, Maurice reveals how these themes repeatedly show up in the lives of people who refuse to live small.

He also revisits the Try Life On Framework of mechanical blueprints—your Perfect Day, Lifestyle Blueprint, Financial Blueprint, and core principles—and explains how they work hand-in-hand with your inner world to create a life you don’t need a vacation from.

In this episode, Maurice explores:

• ​How committing to your Perfect Day unlocks true human performance

• ​How conscious creation and intentional living shape your outer reality

What if the life you’re living isn’t even yours?

This episode was never planned. It began as a simple check-in from Earl Talbot in the UK, a man Maurice hadn’t spoken to in months after stepping away from LinkedIn and social media as part of his own mental diet. What followed was a spontaneous voice-note exchange that unfolded into a powerful, real-time exploration of consciousness, imagination, and the unseen programming shaping our daily lives.

As Maurice and Earl speak, something clicks. The conversation moves from curiosity to clarity, from habit to awareness. Together, they unpack the quiet danger of mental clutter and the liberation that comes from guarding your subconscious with intention.

This isn’t theory. This is lived experience, recorded in motion.

You’ll journey through:

• How most of your thoughts were never chosen by you

• The subtle way social media and mainstream narratives infiltrate your imagination

• Mental dieting through the lens of Emmet Fox, Neville Goddard, and Wallace Wattles

• The moment awareness breaks and expansion begins

• Why “waking up” permanently removes you from the status quo

• How imagination, emotion, and focus construct your reality

This episode is a reminder: your mind is sacred terrain. When you protect it, you reclaim authorship of your life.

Not by force. By awareness. By intention. By choosing what gets to live in your inner world.
