    They Said Listening Was a Soft Skill with Tom Vander Well

    Everyone says they're "customer-obsessed" — but Tom Vander Well has actually listened, to more than 100,000 real business phone calls over 30+ years. In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice (a call-center veteran himself) sits down with Tom — founder of Intelligentics and author of the Amazon International Bestseller This Call May Be Monitored — for a funny, sharp, and surprisingly moving conversation about where the truth of any business really lives. Tom makes his contrarian case: the real story isn't in the boardroom, it's on the front line, where a company's promises either come true or fall apart in real time. He shares the exact moments trust gets built or broken, why excellence is never created by dashboards or flavor-of-the-month initiatives, and how the same skills that win customers for life also transform your marriage, your family, and your friendships. If you lead people, serve customers, or just want to become a better listener, this one will stick with you. 🔗 Learn more about Tom Vander Well: Website: https://tomvanderwell.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-vander-well-intelligentics/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/that-will-nevr-work-podcast--4097623/support. #ThatWillNevrWork #SilenceTheDoubt #StartBeforeYoureReady #SkoolCommunity #WellWhyNot #The1DegreeShift The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views of the host, Chism Group LLC, or its affiliates.

    Well, Why Not? Business Mindset

    We often wait for permission to chase our biggest ideas, letting fear and doubt hold us back. Maurice discusses why the best way to move forward is to stop asking for approval and start asking “Why not?” Chapter Summary: 00:00 Challenging the Need for Permission 06:36 Overcoming Hesitation and Procrastination Featured Quotes: “Progress belongs to those willing to ask a simple, but it can be a very disruptive question: ‘Well, why not me?’” – Maurice“Doubt thrives on unquestioned assumptions.” – Maurice“Waiting for permission delays progress indefinitely.” – MauriceBehind the Story: Maurice draws a parallel between waiting for permission in a classroom setting and stalling on business ventures. By procrastinating, we risk “soiling” our opportunities, but by taking early ownership, we can handle challenges more effectively and move toward our goals with clarity.

    The Voice Is Lying to You with Dr. Albert Bramante

    Why do so many wildly talented people talk themselves out of their own dreams? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Dr. Albert Bramante — talent agent, psychology professor, certified hypnotist, and author of Rise Above the Script — to confront one of the most quietly destructive forces in any creative life: imposter syndrome.   Drawing on 20+ years representing performers on Broadway, film, and TV — plus his own battle with self-doubt and the fear that nearly stopped him from publishing his book — Albert reveals where the inner critic comes from, how self-sabotage hides in plain sight, and the practical tools (including reframing, hypnosis, and NLP) that help artists and high achievers finally step into the spotlight they've earned. If you've ever felt like a fraud despite your success, this conversation is your permission slip to rise.   🔗 Learn more about Dr. Albert Bramante:   Website: https://albertbramante.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albertbramante/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/that-will-nevr-work-podcast--4097623/support. #ThatWillNevrWork #SilenceTheDoubt #StartBeforeYoureReady #SkoolCommunity #WellWhyNot #The1DegreeShift The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views of the host, Chism Group LLC, or its affiliates.

    Your Reign Is Now with Kimberly Spencer

    You have real value to offer. You have a story worth telling. So why are you still invisible? The answer isn't in your content strategy. It's in your story — and Kimberly Spencer is here to help you rewrite it.   In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Kimberly Spencer — founder of Crown Yourself®, CEO of Communication Queens, TEDx speaker, subconscious success strategist, and #1 Amazon bestselling author of Make Every Podcast Want You. Kimberly built four multi-six-figure businesses over 17 years, reaches 150,000 listeners across 46 countries through her podcast, gave a TEDx talk in Australia during a pandemic, and now helps entrepreneurs transform the one thing that is actually blocking their visibility: the subconscious story they've been telling themselves about whether they're worthy of being seen. Her philosophy is both practical and profound: you don't have a visibility strategy problem. You have a subconscious story problem. And no marketing tactic will outperform a belief that says you're not enough to be seen.   What you'll get from this video: ✅ Why visibility struggles are an inside job — the subconscious story underneath every avoidance behavior ✅ The "not enough" belief that drives high achievers to accomplish everything and still feel hidden ✅ Kimberly's transformation story — from carrying others' limitations to sovereign, visible leadership ✅ Why podcast guesting is the highest-leverage and most underused visibility platform in entrepreneurship ✅ What makes an entrepreneur radically interesting — and what makes them profoundly forgettable ✅ The difference between waiting to be ready and choosing "my reign is now" ✅ How Crown Yourself® and Communication Queens together address inner transformation and outer visibility   Whether you're an entrepreneur who keeps delaying your visibility until you're "more ready," a creator whose voice deserves a bigger stage, or a leader who is tired of building in private and ready to build in public — this conversation will give you the framework, the permission, and the fire to start showing up as the sovereign you were born to be.  🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations with builders and visionaries who chose bold over buried.  👍 Like if this episode helped you identify the story that's been keeping you invisible.  💬 Comment: What is the one visibility action you've been delaying — that you're committing to take this week?  🌐 Crown Yourself: https://www.crownyourself.com  🔗 Kimberly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlyspencer-crownyourself/ That Will Nevr Work — For the dreamers who decide to build anyway.
