Most people think they’re living their lives—until they realize their nervous system is on call for everyone else.

In this episode, Maurice Philogene breaks down the subtle but dangerous pattern of unconscious living where notifications, urgency, and external demands dictate your mood, energy, and identity before your feet even hit the floor. Drawing from a powerful conversation with a fellow business owner and insights from his TLO Mastermind, Maurice explains why so many high performers feel anxious, reactive, and disconnected despite doing “everything right.”

This episode is a practical wake-up call for anyone who feels constantly behind, overstimulated, or trapped in manufactured urgency and a guide back to authorship over your own life.

Key themes include:

• ​Unconscious living vs. conscious living
• ​How notifications hijack your nervous system
• ​Why responsiveness is not the same as leadership
• ​Creating boundaries that protect your energy and focus
• ​Simple practices to wake up inside your own life again

Your life is not meant to feel like a constant emergency. If it does, that’s not fate, it’s a pattern. And patterns can be rewritten.

What if everything you’re building is costing you your life instead of giving it back?

In this unfiltered conversation on the Best Ever CRE Show, Maurice and Matt Faircloth step outside the usual business playbook and challenge deeper assumptions behind modern success.

The entrepreneurial system, formal education, and corporate culture train people to pursue income and status, but rarely ask whether the life being built actually creates the real target: a peaceful life and calm nervous system.

This episode explores the hidden traps of modern success and how easily achievement can become another cage with better branding. Real estate, business, and investing are discussed as tools, not identities. Tools that should support a life, not replace it.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• ​Why success without freedom is failure
• ​Building assets versus building a life
• ​How ego hijacks business decisions
• ​Why time (not money) is real currency
• ​Chasing “more” vs choosing meaning
• ​How achievement hijacks identity

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but empty in real life, this conversation will reframe everything you think you’re working toward.

The words you use out loud and in your head are quietly determining the life you live.

In this powerful Mastermind call, Maurice sits down with NLP practitioner and hypnotherapist Edgard Aziz to explore how language acts as the bridge between thought and action, vision and manifestation. Drawing from neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and real-world application, Eddie breaks down how everyday self-talk shapes your nervous system, emotional state, relationships, and long-term outcomes.

Together, they unpack how unconscious language patterns keep people stuck in default mode and how intentional words can help you rewire your internal operating system and step into the life you’ve imagined.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• ​ How language directly affects your body, stress response, and emotional state
• ​ Why negative self-talk creates real physiological patterns and how to interrupt them
• ​ How to use affirmations in a way that actually works for your brain and learning style
• ​ Why leadership, relationships, and personal growth all start with inner language

If you’ve done the vision work but haven’t seen it stick, this conversation might be the missing link. Listen closely because the way you speak becomes the way you see… and the life you live next.

What happens when you finally build the life you dreamed of… and it still doesn’t feel complete?

In this deeply honest and unfiltered episode, Maurice shares a behind-the-scenes team call recorded during a moment of personal struggle and transformation. After years of building time, financial, and geographic freedom, he finds himself wrestling with a new question: What do you do once the building is done? What unfolds is a powerful reflection on identity shifts, inner architecture, and learning how to simply exist inside the life you worked so hard to create.

This episode captures the real-time evolution of the Try Life On philosophy—from hustle and infrastructure to fulfillment, simplicity, and being.

Key themes explored:

• The identity crisis that follows success

• Why “more” isn’t always the answer after freedom

• Letting go of hustle culture and social media validation

• Redesigning life around fulfillment, simplicity, and presence

If you’ve ever reached a goal and quietly asked yourself “now what?”, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and invite you into the next phase of your journey.

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?
