In this episode of Try Life On, Maurice explains one of 20+ Try Life On principles he uses in coaching and in his own journey:

Ask Better Questions.

Create Solutions to Support, not Problems to Solve

So many people go to employers, partners or family with a problem such as ‘I want to work remotely’. But what that does is create a problem for that person to solve. You’ve created work for someone. It’s much better to create and present compelling solutions by asking by better questions, you easily build lifestyle.

Maurice shares how he used this tactic his own journey, including navigating corporate life while pursuing dreams of becoming a street cop, trying out for the NFL, and being a Federal Agent working on the Aegean Sea — all achieved by presenting actionable solutions to higher-ups rather than simply stating his goals.

Key takeaway? When you want to live life on your terms, present solutions that make it easy for others to say yes.

Don’t Quit. Ask Better Questions

In this episode, Maurice has an inspiring conversation with Kristie Sullivan, founder of Executive Remote Worker (ERW) and a true advocate for living boldly. In 2020, Kristie made a life-changing decision to leave her corporate accounting career and travel full-time. Along the way, she realized two key things: “If you can work remotely, why not from somewhere amazing?” and that balancing work and travel takes a lot of planning.

Motivated by these insights, Kristie launched ERW in 2021, helping others plan “workation” experiences in beautiful destinations like Croatia, Mexico, and Belize. Recently, Kristie felt called back to accounting but on her own terms. She’s now focusing on meaningful projects while keeping the freedom to travel and even working toward Hungarian citizenship.

Kristie’s journey is a powerful reminder life is about adapting and creating a path that feels right for you. Tune in to hear her inspiring story of reinvention and fearless pursuit of a dream life!

Maurice connects with corporate advisor, researcher, and founder of ELIXR, Jess Riggenberg. And what blew him away was learning about the ‘Motherhood Tax’.

Jess shares her incredible journey of leaving a thriving biotech career to because she realized she was chasing someone else’s version of success. That realization sparked changes and deep desire to address systemic challenges faced by women and mothers in the workplace.

Her story resonates deeply with women striving to pursue their dreams but held back by various obstacles. The roles women play at home and in the workplace are complex and not always discussed.

Jess became passionate about helping women thrive as whole individuals. She founded ELIXR, a groundbreaking initiative that blends science-backed frameworks, matrescence research, and self-coaching tools to empower women to re-engage and flourish professionally.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in supporting women in achieving their full potential—whether you're a mom, a woman chasing your dreams, or an ally cheering from the sidelines!

In this episode of Try Life On, Maurice reconnects with one of the podcast’s core themes: building financial and other freedoms (time, location, purpose, relationships) leveraging assets. That’s what school never told us to buy on the journey, according to Maurice.

“It just pushes getting a job or starting career, yet assets are key to freedom. In this case the asset of choice is real estate”.

Guest Paul David Thompson, CEO of Real Estate 101, shares how he escaped the corporate grind to create his own "personal economy" and design a life that truly serves him.

While Maurice and Paul acknowledge that real estate isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, they explore how it can be a powerful tool for creating financial flexibility and designing lifestyle. Don’t miss this episode!
