    148: Waking Up Inside Your Own Life

    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. __________ Maurice’s Money Coach Lisa Chastain Website: https://www.lisachastain.com Wealth Within: https://lisachastain.com/the-wealth-within/ Connect with Maurice Try Life On Newsletter: https://www.trylifeon.com/blog?tag=newsletter Email: maurice@trylifeon.com Website: https://www.trylifeon.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mauricephilogene

    147: Hidden Traps of Modern Success with Matt Faircloth

    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.

    146: From Vision to Manifestation with Edgard Aziz

    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.

    142: What Great Dads Do Differently with Jeff Hittner

    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.

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.
