    S7|G22 The Confidence Equation with Rob Tracz

    What if the reason you keep running out of fuel — running out of clarity, running out of resilience, running out of confidence exactly when you need it most — isn't that you're not working hard enough, but that you've been running the wrong system for the human being doing the work?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Rob Tracz — high-performance coach, keynote speaker, entrepreneur, Master of Science in Exercise Science, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Distinction, Precision Nutrition Level 2 Coach, and founder and CEO of TAPS Coaching — for one of the most scientifically grounded and personally moving conversations about human performance, confidence under pressure, and the entrepreneurial operating system we have ever recorded. Rob's own story took him from chasing success while silently unraveling, to sleeping on a yoga mat in a gym, to receiving his dying father's final words — "Take care of yourself. Don't work so hard. Be good for your sister" — and building those words into a coaching philosophy that has transformed hundreds of driven professionals out of Robot Mode and into their Prime Performance.   In this episode, you'll discover:What Robot Mode is, how to know if you're in it, and the specific reason driven people are the most vulnerable to itThe real story behind Rob's rock bottom — and the moment his father's final words finally changed everythingWhy Look Good, Feel Good, Do Great Things is a performance strategy, not a wellness sloganThe Confidence Equation — what confidence actually is at a scientific level and how to build it as a system, not a feeling  If you have been grinding, hustling, and achieving — while quietly running on empty — this episode is the performance intervention your business has been waiting for.  🔗 Connect with Rob: linkedin.com/in/robtracz | robtracz.com 🚀 Stop Doubting.

    S7|G21 Stop Playing Small with Randy Gage

    What if the reason you keep hitting the same ceiling — regardless of how hard you work, how smart your strategy is, or how badly you want to break through — is that you have been running a program that was specifically designed to make sure you never actually do?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Randy Gage — Hall of Fame speaker, New York Times bestselling author of 16 books translated into 25+ languages, founder of Prosperity Factory, Inc., host of the Power Prosperity Podcast, and creator of Breakthrough U — for one of the most intellectually confrontational, personally challenging, and genuinely transformational conversations we have ever had on this show. Randy's motivational story of rising from a jail cell as a teen to a self-made multi-millionaire has inspired millions around the world — and what he discovered on that journey is the single most important and most consistently ignored truth in the entrepreneurial world: the biggest obstacle between you and the life you want is the programming you didn't choose and have never examined.     In this episode, you'll discover:What "mind viruses" are, where they come from, and why the most successful-looking people are often carrying the most dangerous onesThe specific difference between running the poverty OS and the prosperity OS — and why you've never been told you have a choiceRandy's journey from addiction, incarceration, and repeated failures to becoming a global thought leader on prosperity — and the real, unpolished story of what the rewrite actually tooWhat Wealth Without Apology means — and what it costs to keep apologizing for wanting to be wealthyWhy employee thinking is the most dangerous mindset a founder can carry — and how to permanently replace itWhy holistic prosperity across health, relationships, and mental harmony is a business strategy, not just a wellness aspirationWhat Breakthrough U is, who it's for, and why the most successful entrepreneurs on the planet still need it  If you have been working hard, thinking big, and still finding yourself in the same place — this episode is the conversation that explains exactly why. And exactly how to change it.  🔗 Connect with Randy: linkedin.com/in/randygage | randygage.com 🚀 Stop Doubting.

    S7|G20 You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Endure with Chris Shurian

    What if the most dangerous thing you're doing as a founder isn't a bad strategy, a poor hire, or a cash flow problem — but the performance of strength that's slowly isolating you from the truth your business and your life most urgently need you to face?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Chris Shurian — entrepreneur, cancer survivor, Ironman finisher, Small Business Operations Coach, and host of Bootstraps & Battle Scars — for one of the most raw, real, and genuinely necessary conversations we've ever had on this show. Chris has been knocked down hard — financially, physically, and spiritually — and stood back up every single time. His story isn't about avoiding failure. It's about surviving it. And after nearly four decades of building businesses, beating cancer, crossing Ironman finish lines, and sitting in the honest founder conversations that most people never get to have, Chris is on a mission to create the safe spaces where founders can finally drop the armor and tell the truth.  In this episode, you'll discover:What the founder's armor is actually made of — and why the entrepreneurial identity makes vulnerability feel like a threatWhy the most dangerous conversation a founder avoids is often the one with themselvesWhat surviving cancer and completing Ironman races taught Chris about the way founders treat their bodies and their mental healthFour decades of entrepreneurial lessons about economic storms, rebuilding, and the long game of resilienceThe small business operations mistake that founder isolation and armor-wearing almost always createThe three things any founder can start doing tomorrow: service, positivity as a decision, and the courage to be honest about what's actually hardWhy the founder who can tell the truth is almost always the most effective leader in any room If you have been performing strength while quietly carrying something that deserves a real conversation — this episode is the safe space you've been looking for.  🔗 Connect with Chris: linkedin.com/in/chrisshurian | bootstrapsandbattlescars.com 🚀 Stop Doubting.

    S7|G19 The Most Overlooked Asset in Real Estate with Mike Deaton

    What if the most powerful path to financial freedom wasn't flipping houses, managing tenants, or chasing the stock market — but quietly buying and selling the vacant dirt that everyone else drives right past?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Mike Deaton — founder of Flipping Dirt, author of the Flipping Dirt book series, land investing expert, and partner in over 1,200 units of multifamily real estate — for one of the most grounded, practical, and genuinely inspiring conversations about building wealth and lifestyle freedom we've ever featured on this show. After losing his corporate job in 2016, Mike chose land flipping over traditional real estate to avoid tenants, repairs, debt, and burnout — and what he and his wife Ligia built from that layoff is a seven-figure empire, a coaching movement, and a life of complete freedom hiking the mountains of Colorado. Pre-Zero Sports Talk  In this episode, you'll discover:How Mike and Ligia turned a dual corporate layoff into a seven-figure land business — and the mindset that made it possibleWhy vacant land is the most overlooked and underestimated wealth-building vehicle in all of real estateThe six capital-light entry models for starting your land flipping business when your bank account says noWhy cash flow — not cash — is the philosophy that separates investors who scale from those who stallWhat "lifestyle freedom" actually looks and feels like when you've built a business specifically designed to fund your ideal lifeHow land flipping became the gateway to 1,200+ units of multifamily real estateWhat Mike wants every aspiring investor, entrepreneur, and dreamer to know about what's actually possible when you start before you're ready If you've been told your idea is too simple, too unusual, or too outside the mainstream to work — Mike Deaton's story is your evidence that the people who said that were wrong.  🔗 Connect with Mike: linkedin.com/in/michaelbdeaton | flippingdirt.us 🚀 Stop Doubting.

    S7|G18 The Power of Accountability with Dennis McCurdy

    Most people don't fail because they don't know what to do. They fail because nobody is watching when they decide not to do it.  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Dennis McCurdy — Vietnam Veteran, Certified Financial Planner, serial entrepreneur, author of four books including Find A Way, Suck It Up Cupcake, and Unleash the Power of Connection, personal development speaker, and no-frills, straight-talking accountability coach who made his first million at 36, started 10 businesses, developed more than 25 real estate properties, and has spent decades helping people stop living in the Valley of Dead Dreams and start doing what they said they were going to do. Dennis doesn't traffic in fluffy motivation or theoretical frameworks. He brings the direct, practical, battle-tested wisdom of a man who has built something real in the real world — and he wants every person listening to do the same.  In this episode, you'll discover:What the Valley of Dead Dreams is — and how to find out if you're already living thereThe GANG framework — Goal Achieving Nudging Group — and how accountability partners change the neuroscience of commitmentThe KISSES formula for building habits that are actually sustainable for real human beingsThe hard truth inside Suck It Up Cupcake that most coaches are too polite to sayWhat Vietnam and 50 years of entrepreneurship taught Dennis about accountability that no seminar ever couldHow firewalking breaks limiting beliefs at the cellular level — and what that experience does to a person's relationship with their own potentialThe "Find A Way" philosophy in practice — what it means for the person with real obstacles, real hardship, and real reasons to quit If you've been waiting for the right time, the right conditions, or the right sign — Dennis McCurdy is your sign. And his message is simple: Find A Way.  🔗 Connect with Dennis: linkedin.com/in/dennis-mccurdy-cfp-465a1bb | dennismccurdy.com 🚀 Stop Doubting.
