    Two Kinds of People — And the Decision That Heals with Jennifer Juniper

    What if the root of a chronic illness wasn't only in the body — but in the wounds we never healed? In this powerful episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Jennifer Juniper, transformation coach, founder of Jennifer Juniper Healing, and creator of the Gut Instincts Healing Method, to share the story that changed her life. When Jennifer was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a doctor told her there were two kinds of patients — those who suffer and those who get better — and the only difference was a decision. She made hers, and spent the next 30 years "following her gut to heal her gut," tracing her symptoms all the way back to unresolved childhood trauma, perfectionism, and the patterns holding her back. Jennifer opens up about the connection between the body and buried emotion, blending biology and belief, breaking out of survival mode, and reclaiming clarity, vitality, and inner authority. If you've ever been told to just "live with it," this conversation is your invitation to decide otherwise. (This episode shares a personal healing journey and is not medical advice.)  🔗 Connect with Jennifer Juniper: Website: https://jenjuniper.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferjuniperhealing/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JenJuniper 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.

    Why Winning Stops Feeling Like Enough with Janylene Turcotte

    You've done the work. You've succeeded. You've held it all together — and yet life still feels like a solid 7 out of 10, with a hollowness you can't quite name. In this eye-opening episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Janylène Turcotte — strategic hypnocoach, ICF-certified coach, and clinical hypnotherapist trained by Marisa Peer and Paul McKenna — to explore why so many high-achievers feel empty at the top. With more than 1,300 sessions and 20+ years in the corporate world (up to the executive level herself), Janylène explains what's really happening in the subconscious when external wins stop feeling like enough — and what it actually takes to rewire it. They dig into the "invisible ceiling," why the mind alone can't break through it, how beliefs formed decades ago quietly run the show, and how to move through transition with more clarity, ease, and power. If your success is real but the fulfillment isn't, this conversation will show you where to look. 🔗 Connect with Janylène Turcotte: Website: https://www.hypnocoach.ca/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janylene/ 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.

    The Problem Isn't Your Child's Brain — It's the Map with Russell Van Brocklen

    What do you do when a bright, curious child looks up and says, "I'm just dumb"? In this deeply moving episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — "The Dyslexia Professor," founder of Dyslexia Classes, and creator of The Writing Method — to talk about nurturing self-belief in dyslexic kids. Russell knows this struggle from the inside: severely dyslexic himself, he was told he'd never read at grade level, and today he reads at a graduate level. Drawing on Yale brain science and his own New York State Senate–funded research, he explains why traditional school teaches to a brain many dyslexic kids don't have, why accommodations give access but not skill, and how starting with a child's genuine interests can unlock reading and writing two or three grade levels above where they're stuck. Most importantly, he shows how rebuilding a child's skills rebuilds something even more precious — their belief in themselves. If you love a child who's been written off, this conversation is a lifeline. 🔗 Connect with Russell Van Brocklen: Website: https://dyslexiaclasses.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-van-brocklen-2007ab87/ 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.

    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.

    Serve First, Sell Never with Billy Sammons

    What if the reason marketing feels so exhausting is that you've been doing the cold version everyone told you was normal?
