  You sat down. You built a client avatar. You gave them a name, a coffee order, a favorite weekend activity. Congratulations — you made an imaginary friend, not a marketing strategy.  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Rachel Allen — founder of Bolt from the Blue Copywriting, fractional CMO, and a 17-year veteran of making words make money for clients in 21-plus countries. Rachel's path to this work was anything but conventional: she dropped out of college, moved to Hong Kong with $200, and discovered almost by accident that people would actually pay her to write — turning a $3.25 first gig into a career writing for some of the biggest names in entrepreneurship, influencers, brick-and-mortar businesses, and nonprofits around the world. Today, Rachel is known for one gloriously unpopular opinion: the client avatar — that staple exercise of nearly every marketing course — is not a strategic tool, it's an imaginary friend, and most businesses are quietly sabotaging their own marketing by building one.  In this conversation, Rachel and Maurice dig into:Why demographics alone tell you nothing about what actually drives a buying decisionThe "sweet spot" framework — where your real best customers actually liveHow to uncover the worries and motivations keeping your customers up at 3 a.m.Rachel's transformation story — from a $3.25 writing gig to a global fractional CMO careerWhy positioning is the central cog that makes everything else in marketing workHow to write the thing that really matters — your book, your podcast, your legacy content — with both purpose and strategy  This one is for every entrepreneur who has a client avatar sitting in a folder somewhere, gathering dust, doing absolutely nothing for their business.

  Do you ever look in the mirror and question if you are truly seeing yourself? Maurice shares his personal journey and challenges with self-honesty, exploring why many avoid confronting their true identities. This episode dives into the emotional struggle of recognizing past selves and the profound impact of external influences on our perception of success and worthiness.  Chapter Summary:00:00 Seeing Yourself Clearly03:03 Avoidance is a Silent Agreement05:29 Fear of Success and External Influence08:24 Giving 100% and Self-WorthFeatured Quotes:“Awareness always precedes your transformation.” — Maurice“You can't change what you refuse to acknowledge.” — Maurice“Avoidance is a silent agreement to stay stuck.” — MauriceBehind the Story:Maurice reveals his personal battles with self-perception and the fear of success. He shares an anecdote about a friend avoiding childhood memories and discusses how external factors, like “yes people” and fake support, shaped his own fears of achieving fame. This context sheds light on the internal struggles many face when trying to move forward.

 You've been telling yourself it's a marketing problem. It's a leads problem. It's a money problem. What if the real reason your business isn't growing has nothing to do with any of those things — and everything to do with the one thing you've been avoiding? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Eric Dingler — agency owner, leadership coach, digital nomad, and one of the most genuinely unusual entrepreneurial stories you'll hear this year. Eric started building websites as a summer camp director in Ohio to help fund his family's adoption journey, went from zero to six figures in one year, built a thriving digital agency, and then sold most of his possessions to travel the world full-time with his wife and four kids across 20-plus countries — all while building a leadership coaching practice around one transformative conviction: the real reason businesses stop growing is not external. It's a leadership problem. In this conversation, Eric and Maurice dig into:Why the business owner is almost always the actual growth constraint — and how to see it clearlyThe limiting beliefs around hiring that keep solopreneurs trapped at the ceiling of one person's capacityThe adoption story, the church plant, and the nomad leap — and what they all have in commonThe five fundamental business processes — and which one most businesses are failing at without realizing itWhat delegating outcomes instead of tasks actually looks like — and why the difference mattersThe Marketing Momentum Framework: why tactics without strategy are expensive noiseHow to build a business that outlasts you — starting with the decisions you make today This one is for every entrepreneur who is working hard, spending money on growth, and still wondering why the ceiling won't move. 

 What if the real reason your business hasn't scaled isn't your market, your product, or your team — but the fact that it can't run without you? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Brandon Moon — Co-Founder and COO of TD Pine Advisors, engineer-turned-operator, and one of the most practical voices in the founder-led business space. Brandon has spent his career helping owners of growing businesses solve the problem that no one talks about loudly enough: you built something that depends entirely on you — and that dependency is costing you your growth, your value, and your freedom. With a background scaling family-run businesses from the inside out — including a single strategic hire that drove 60% organic growth — Brandon brings hard-won field experience to every framework he teaches. At TD Pine Advisors, he partners with founder-led companies to increase enterprise value, reduce owner dependence, and create real strategic options: whether the plan is to grow, transition, or simply regain control. In this conversation, Brandon and Maurice go deep on:The founder trap — what it is, how you got there, and why working harder makes it worseThe difference between growth and scaling — and why confusing them keeps you on a treadmillThe one hire that unlocked 60% growth — and what it actually changed inside the businessHow to build transferable operations that don't require you at the center of everythingThe identity shift from running the business to designing itWhy burnout is a business structure problem — not a personal weaknessHow exit planning is really freedom planning — for founders with no intention of selling This one is for every entrepreneur who built something real and is now wondering why it doesn't feel like freedom. 

 What if the biggest obstacle between you and the life you want isn't your resources, your connections, or your strategy — but the story you've been living without questioning it? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with John Geraghty — executive coach, speaker, author of The Prism of Perspective, and founder of Courageous Authenticity — a man who has conducted over 30,000 strategic coaching sessions across 20 years with some of the highest-achieving business owners and executives in the country. And whose own most important transformation happened not in a boardroom, but in the battle against alcoholism — a battle that stripped away every borrowed story until only the truth remained. John's work is built on one foundational insight: our stories can empower us or they can limit us — they can open doors or create roadblocks to the lives we dream about. And the most successful leaders he's ever coached were often the ones most deeply imprisoned by stories they never consciously chose.  In this conversation, John and Maurice explore:What "the story" actually is — and how it ends up running your entire life without permissionJohn's personal transformation from alcoholism to building one of the country's most respected coaching practicesThe Prism of Perspective framework and why changing your view changes everythingWhy mature leaders are uniquely vulnerable to the limiting story — and uniquely capable of breaking freeWhat courageous authenticity demands of you — and what it makes possibleThe one question that unlocks every stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected leader This one is for every entrepreneur, leader, and dreamer who has ever wondered why they keep hitting the same ceiling — and suspected the answer might be closer than they thought. 

  What if the only thing standing between you and the business you were meant to build isn't money — it's the decision?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Scott Curry — founder of Faith Roar, keynote speaker, author, and serial entrepreneur who spent 15 years building businesses that didn't work before going all in one final time with zero startup capital and transforming his entire life in 90 days. In January of 2021, working 16 to 20 hours a day on three to four hours of sleep, Scott launched a YouTube channel teaching investing strategies. Three months later, he had replaced his six-figure income. Today, his videos have been viewed over six million times by more than two million people worldwide — and through his company Faith Roar, he is on a mission to help one million people achieve financial freedom through business ownership and stock market investing.   This episode covers it all:Why "no money" is a myth — and what actually stops people from startingThe morning his twin boys stood at a gate crying "Daddy, please don't go" — and how that broke everything openWhat 15 years of failed businesses actually built in himThe exact 90-day breakdown that took him from zero to replacing six figuresWhy faith isn't just spiritual for Scott — it's the operational philosophy behind everything he buildsThe mission to help a million people, and why your why has to be bigger than your bank account  This one is for anyone who has ever told themselves they'll start when they have more money, more time, or more certainty — and needed someone who's been through the fire to tell them the truth. 

  What if the setback you're running from is actually the clearest signal your purpose has ever sent you?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Leo Young — Managing Partner of Cornell Communities, former Tesla #1 regional salesperson, and one of the most compelling transformation stories in real estate today. With nearly a decade of experience, over $50 million in total transaction volume, and a career arc that took him from elite corporate performer to private equity to founding his own investment firm, Leo's journey is a masterclass in what happens when you trade external success for internal alignment. Leo didn't just pivot careers. He fundamentally rewrote his relationship with money, leadership, and purpose — and built a company whose mission is to create both affordable housing solutions and strong passive returns for investors, proving that doing good and doing well aren't opposites.  In this conversation, you'll hear:The real story behind leaving Tesla's top sales role to bet on himselfWhat a $4.5B private equity acquisition team teaches you about wealth you can't learn anywhere elseWhy mobile home parks are one of the most overlooked, recession-resilient assets in America — and a metaphor for every undervalued idea you're sitting onHow to raise capital by leading with trust, character, and radical transparencyThe specific clarity that only comes from walking through — not around — your hardest season  This one is for every entrepreneur who is in the middle of their setback, wondering if they took a wrong turn — and needs to hear from someone who went through the fire and found their purpose on the other side.

  What if charging less for your best work is exactly what's been keeping you broke?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Joel Miller — co-founder of The Sky Floor, leap-day identical twin, and one of the most quietly contrarian voices in the digital agency world. Joel and his twin brother Alan have grown their two-person agency 15%+ every single year since 2008, hitting $500K+ in revenue without hiring a single junior team member, taking outside funding, or following the scale-fast playbook everyone else was running. What they did instead? They charged for outcomes, not hours. They chose partnerships over projects. And they said no to the clients, deals, and growth tactics that would have made them bigger but not better.  In this conversation, Joel breaks down:Why hourly billing punishes your best work — and how to escape the trapThe philosophy of staying small on purpose and why restraint is a strategyHow "outcomes over deliverables" completely changes what you're sellingThe leap-day twin origin story and what building with a lifelong partner really takesWhy strategy before execution isn't just a tagline — it's the difference between expensive wallpaper and a digital asset that actually works  This one is for every creative, freelancer, and service-based entrepreneur who knows they're worth more than their hourly rate will ever show.

  What if the road from failure to success has nothing to do with the strategies you're running and everything to do with the fight you're refusing to stop having with yourself?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Daryl Dittmer — a man who after a humble and often tumultuous beginning, worked relentlessly on himself for almost 40 years, built careers across carpentry, sales, real estate, consulting, and risk management, retired at 48 from a successful brokerage he helped build, wrote two unflinching books including When I Stop Fighting and When YOU Stop Fighting: The Road You're On Is Your Own Asphalt, and now coaches high-achievers who are winning externally but losing the battle with themselves — for one of the most raw, real, and completely unperformable conversations about success, failure, accountability, and the internal fight that determines every external result we have ever recorded on this show.

  What if the busyness you've been wearing as a badge of honor is actually the most expensive and most well-defended excuse you've been making for not doing the strategic leadership work your business most urgently needs?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Liz Weber, CMC, CSP — one of fewer than 100 people in the United States to hold both the Certified Speaking Professional® and Certified Management Consultant® designations, founder and President of Weber Business Services, LLC, author of 10 leadership books, named a Top 30 Global Guru on Leadership and Global Top 100 Leadership Influencer, faculty at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown, and a consultant who has worked with organizations across more than 20 countries — for one of the most direct, credentialed, and immediately actionable conversations about leadership, busyness, and strategic clarity we have ever had on this show. Liz does not traffic in motivation or theory. She tells leaders the truth — and then gives them the specific, practical frameworks to act on it. Ace & Arrow  In this episode, you'll discover:Why "I'm so busy" is the most expensive lie in business — and what it's actually covering forThe most costly behaviors in Liz's Stop series — and the single Stop most business owners refuse to makeThe difference between operational planning and genuine strategic leadership — and why it changes everything about how a business growsWhy succession planning is not an exit conversation but an urgent strategic priority for every business owner, right nowHow candid conversations — the ones most leaders systematically avoid — are the ones that change relationships and build the organizations that actually performThe Leadership E.A.S.Y. framework and why the complexity most leaders complain about is almost always self-generatedIf you have been performing busyness while your organization waits for the strategic leadership only you can provide — this episode is the wake-up call you've been too busy to hear until now. 

  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. 

 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. 

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. 

 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. 

 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. 

Many of us used alcohol as a shortcut to confidence — to feel braver, calmer, more social, or less afraid. But real confidence isn't found in a drink. It's built through self-trust, courage, and learning to face life as you truly are.In this episode of The Alcohol Recovery Show, we explore how self-doubt, fear, and overthinking can keep people stuck in the drinking cycle — and how recovery gives us the chance to build lasting confidence from the inside out.We also discuss the excellent book Stop Doubting Yourself by Lewis David, a practical guide to overcoming fear, making decisions, trusting yourself, and building resilience.Available here:

Maurice discusses the challenge of receiving feedback, highlighting how to differentiate between constructive input and distractions. Learn to interpret feedback strategically to improve performance and maintain confidence in corporate and entrepreneurial settings.In This Episode:00:00 Navigating Feedback Overload01:07 Feedback: Patterns, Not Instructions03:41 Considering Perspective and Proximity06:36 Unfiltered Feedback and Its Impact09:03 Strategic Listening for GrowthKey Takeaways:Discern patterns in feedback rather than taking all input as instructions.Acknowledge emotional feedback without letting it dictate your strategy.Weigh feedback based on the source's perspective and proximity to the situation.Use recurring comments from different sources as opportunities for improvement.Interpret feedback to strengthen your processes and boost confidence.

 What if the most powerful business strategy available to you isn't a funnel, a framework, or a new platform — but the story you've been sitting on, the book you haven't written, and the message you haven't yet been brave enough to say out loud? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Aurora Winter, MBA — multi-award-winning author of 10 books, former television executive and producer, serial entrepreneur, media strategist, and founder of Same Page Publishing — for one of the most sweeping and deeply personal conversations about authority, storytelling, and legacy-building we have ever featured on this show. Aurora left a lucrative TV career, survived the sudden death of her husband at 33 while raising their young son alone, and transformed that entire journey into a body of work that has helped CEOs, founders, attorneys, and thought leaders achieve #1 Amazon bestseller status, build seven-figure brands, and create the kind of authority that makes premium clients come to them. In this episode, you'll discover:What a Million-Dollar Message is — and why clarity outearns genius every timeWhy your book is the single most powerful marketing and authority tool available to you — and how to write it even if you don't have time to writeThe Spoken Author™ method — how busy leaders and founders create polished, powerful books through strategic conversationThe Strategic Showrunner™ framework — how thinking like a TV producer transforms the way you build your brandHow Aurora turned personal grief and career reinvention into a mission that has helped thousands build legacy-level brandsIf you have expertise, a story, or a message — and you haven't yet built the authority platform to match it — this episode is the call to action you've been waiting for. 

Episode 107: In this episode, I sit down with Deanna Elizabeth for a conversation about Human Design and the deeper work of self-connection it can open inside us.This is not a conversation about a system of labels or complex data charts. It is a conversation about what happens when you begin to trust that authority may already be living within you.We explore what it looks like to connect with your unique energetic blueprint. To listen for the truths beneath the noise of lifelong conditioning, family expectations, and trauma. And to approach Human Design not as something outside of you, but as a literal X-ray that helps you access what your body, your soul, and your inner voice may already know.At the center of this conversation is a powerful remembering.So many women considering divorce have been taught that truth must come through prescribed channels. That access to safety, to knowing, to authority lives somewhere outside of themselves—in a partner, a family, or a system. But what if the real invitation is to reclaim your own relationship with wisdom? To let your natural strategy, your intuition, and your body become part of the language through which you come home to yourself?Through this conversation, you will hear what it means to look at your design with reverence, curiosity, and openness. You will learn about the precise “monkeys”—the shadow patterns and ancestral distortions—that pull you away from your alignment, and how identifying them gives you the power to choose yourself.Not a way to escape your life, but a way to meet yourself more fully.This episode is not really about Human Design.It is about remembering how to trust your own knowing. ✨Show Notes:Subscribe to Stay or Go on SubstackDiana's WebsiteJoin us for the Human Design Workshop on Sunday, May 24th, 2026 Text 90MIN to 33777 to book a 90-Minute Session with me. ✨Text STAYORGOCOMMUNITY to 33777 to join the community. ⚡️Text EMAILME to 33777 for the free tarot guide using ChatGPT.

In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Bradley Rausch — Branding and Operations CMO for founder-led companies, client success architect, and founder of Level Up Influence — for one of the most operationally rich and immediately actionable conversations we've ever had on this show. Bradley has taken a B2C training company from $650,000 to $1.5 million in under six months, achieved 140% Net Revenue Retention across a book of 250+ C-level executive relationships, and cut customer acquisition costs by 35% — all by mastering one specific and chronically underestimated truth: what happens in the first 72 hours after a client says yes determines whether your business compounds or bleeds. In this episode, you'll discover:The psychology of a new client in the 72-hour post-sale window — and why this is the most critical moment in your entire businessThe silent churn signals most founders never see until it's too lateHow to build a Client Success system that doesn't require the founder to be the productWhy great onboarding is the most powerful upsell mechanism available — no sales call requiredThe expectation equation that determines whether every client is happy or disappointed before you deliver a single resultWhat Net Revenue Retention is, why it matters more than any other metric in a service business, and how to optimize for itHow a founder's personal brand connects directly to client retention and referral generation If you are a founder, entrepreneur, coach, consultant, or agency owner who celebrates the close and then moves on — this episode is the wake-up call your business has been waiting for.

Maurice discusses the uncomfortable but essential nature of feedback, reframing it as a signal for growth rather than criticism. This episode explores how silence can hinder progress, the importance of consistent learning, and why actively seeking honest input is crucial for continuous professional development.In This Episode:00:00 Feedback and Growth01:10 Corporate Feedback Experiences03:42 The Cost of Silence05:54 Supervisor's Impact on Growth07:57 Embrace Honest FeedbackKey Takeaways:Welcome honest input to stay adaptable and positioned for growth.Recognize that silence often means being overlooked, not approval.Understand that feedback signals investment and a belief in your potential for improvement.Expose yourself to truth, even when uncomfortable, for professional development.Identify specific areas for feedback and intentionally invite it in.

 What if the reason your creative business isn't growing has nothing to do with your talent — and everything to do with the story you've been forgetting to tell? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Paul "Santa for Nerds" Pape — 20-year master artist, TEDx speaker, author of The Creative Player's Handbook to Business, and founder of Gamify Business — for one of the most energizing and perspective-shifting conversations we've ever had on this show. Paul has spent two decades designing custom collectibles and props for Disney, Universal, Nickelodeon, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon — and what he learned along the way is that clients were never buying his creations. They were buying him. Now he's on a mission to help every artist, maker, and creative entrepreneur understand the same truth — and build a business around it. In this episode, you'll discover:Why clients buy the creator, not the creation — and how to immediately start leading with the story that makes you irreplaceableThe truth about the "starving artist" myth and the specific lies it tells that keep creative entrepreneurs broke and undervaluedWhy traditional business frameworks fail creative thinkers — and what the Gamify Business framework does insteadThe two questions every creative must answer to unlock their most magnetic personal brandHow a "character sheet" becomes the most powerful sales and marketing tool a creative entrepreneur can buildWhy failure is a feature, not a bug — and how to make it part of your adventure instead of proof that you should quitThe bigger mission Paul is building — and what creative entrepreneurship looks like when it works If you are a creative entrepreneur who has been pouring everything into your craft and wondering why the business side still isn't working — this episode is the plot twist your story has been waiting for.

Maurice discusses how continuous learning is a competitive advantage in a rapidly changing world. This episode challenges listeners to embrace learning not as an obligation, but as a path to staying relevant and confident in their professional journey. Learn why staying teachable is key to long-term success and growth.In This Episode:00:00 Learning as a Competitive Advantage02:54 Continuous Learning Keeps You Relevant05:52 Learning Builds Confidence, Not Insecurity08:24 Learning: A Posture for GrowthKey Takeaways:Challenge your existing knowledge and comfort zones.Adapt to market shifts and evolving expectations through ongoing learning.Strengthen confidence by expanding your capabilities.Stay teachable to remain valuable in your profession.Identify one skill to learn intentionally this season.

 What if the revenue your business is missing isn't a marketing problem, and it isn't a sales problem — it's a conversation that's never happening between two teams that are supposed to be on the same side? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Sean P. Shannon — Founder of Strategic Growth Design, Fractional Chief Sales Officer, and 34-year sales leadership veteran who built his entire career selling something most people said couldn't be sold: radio airtime. From rising through the ranks at iHeart, Audacy, and Cumulus Media to building iconic Atlanta brands like Q99.7 and 99x as a Senior VP and Market President, Sean has spent three decades helping hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses unlock revenue they didn't know they were sitting on. Now, Sean is on a mission to help entrepreneurs stop the silent war between their marketing and sales teams — and it starts with three questions most businesses have never thought to ask. In this episode, you'll discover:The three critical questions every marketing team must ask their sales leader — and why most never doWhy the gap between what marketing says and what sales hears is costing businesses more than any ad budgetSean's Three V's pipeline diagnostic framework: Volume, Velocity, and VeracityWhat 34 years of selling air taught Sean about making the invisible undeniableThe objection data hiding inside your sales team that is your entire content strategyWhy the founder who hates selling is leaving more money on the table than any other single business decisionHow the Fractional CSO model is giving SMBs C-suite sales strategy at a price they can actually afford If you're building a business and your marketing and sales aren't speaking the same language — this episode is the intervention you didn't know you needed. 

Maurice discusses the difference between excellence and exhaustion, highlighting that burnout often gets mistaken for commitment. This episode explores strategies for high performers to pursue excellence and achieve sustainable success without sacrificing longevity, emphasizing smart work over hard work.In This Episode:00:00 Excellence Without Exhaustion01:29 Burnout: A Systemic Failure03:57 Rest is a Requirement06:10 Rhythm Over Rush08:40 Protect Your LongevityKey Takeaways:Redefine excellence by focusing on sustainable practices rather than exhaustion.Recognize burnout as a system failure, not a personal one, demanding more than it replenishes.Schedule recovery and rest as requirements, not rewards, for consistent performance.Adjust your pace to protect longevity, understanding that sustainable success comes from rhythm, not urgency.Prioritize energy management as much as time management to avoid disengagement.

 What if the reason most businesses get hacked has nothing to do with their technology — and everything to do with the conversations they're not having? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, host Maurice sits down with Lara Hamilton — Director of IT Services for the HelpDesk Realty Division at Team Tectonic, 15-year multifamily IT veteran, and one of the most gifted translators of complex cybersecurity concepts into plain English that actually moves people to action. Lara has spent her career at the intersection of technology and humanity, bridging the gap between IT professionals who understand the threats and the staff, vendors, and executives who have to actually stop them — inside one of the most overlooked cybersecurity risk environments in the country: property management and multifamily real estate. In this episode, you'll discover:Why the language gap between IT and your team is often more dangerous than the actual threatHow to explain cybersecurity to staff, vendors, and executives who "don't do tech" — in a way they'll actually rememberWhy property management and small businesses are a hacker's favorite target — and the myth that makes them vulnerableHow to have the cybersecurity conversation with a resistant executive and actually move budgetThe vendor vulnerability most businesses completely overlookWhat a real cybersecurity culture looks like — and how to build one without a big IT budgetWhy most IT project failures are communication failures in disguise Whether you manage properties, lead a team, run a small business, or are simply trying to protect what you've built — this episode will change how you think about cybersecurity forever. 

Growth often creates a desire to protect existing successes, but this can stifle innovation and lead to irrelevance. This episode explores why continuous innovation is crucial for scaling businesses and professionals, emphasizing responsiveness over constant reinvention to maintain long-term success. Learn how to identify areas for improvement and adapt to evolving markets, tools, and community needs to stay competitive.In This Episode:00:00 Innovation is Not Reinvention02:31 The Ever-Changing Community05:58 Scaling Without Innovation Leads to Obsolescence08:44 Embrace a Growth MindsetKey Takeaways:Identify stagnant areas in your work or business to assess the need for change.Listen better and adjust faster to market shifts, rather than clinging to past successes.Cultivate curiosity and continuous learning as a leader to spot new opportunities.Recognize that community and client needs evolve, requiring adaptation in your approach.Upgrade processes and habits to maintain relevance and secure long-term success.

If you know you're capable but still struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, or second-guessing yourself, this episode explains why that happens - and what actually changes it.In this episode, we explore why confidence doesn't automatically come from logic, insight, or positive thinking alone — and why self-trust develops through emotional experience, not just thinking differently.We discuss:why you can know something logically but still not feel it in the moment the difference between intellectual understanding and emotional knowingwhy reassurance and overthinking rarely resolve self-doubthow anxiety, fear, and uncertainty become learned nervous system responseswhat actually helps build lasting confidence and self-trustWe also explore how this shows up in real life — like struggling to accept feedback, staying quiet in meetings despite knowing you belong there, or struggling to make decisions without reassurance.Topics include self-doubt, confidence, anxiety, overthinking, nervous system regulation, emotional learning, reassurance seeking, fear responses, and the psychology of self-trust.Want to be more Confident At Work?Start here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠take our free: Confidence Assessment ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get private support to feel confident at work: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠book a call to explore private coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Explore and join the Confident At Work Programme: https://www.yesyoucoaching.com/confident-at-work-programmeCover art by Jacob McFaddenTheme song by Melissa Carter @ Making Audio Magic

In a world constantly tracking likes and followers, Maurice challenges us to look beyond surface-level numbers. He shares how focusing on vanity metrics can lead to wasted time and energy, while meaningful metrics provide the true feedback needed for impactful personal and professional growth. This episode asks: what numbers are you tracking, and do they truly reflect your progress?Chapter Summary:00:00 Numbers That Drive Growth02:28 Meaningful vs. Vanity Metrics05:39 Focus Measurement and Prioritization09:37 Intentional ImprovementFeatured Quotes:“Vanity metrics, they feel good, but what are they teaching you? More or less nothing.” — Maurice“Meaningful metrics creates feedback and the right metrics give you insight into the behavior, the performance and the outcomes.” — Maurice“Tracking too much creates paralysis because you don't know which number to pull from.” — MauriceBehind the Story:Maurice explains the common trap of focusing on vanity metrics like likes and applause, which offer temporary motivation but little direction. He contrasts this with meaningful metrics that provide insight into behavior, performance, and outcomes. Using personal examples, he illustrates how tracking the right numbers—like listener locations—can confirm the true reach and value of your message, driving intentional improvement and confidence.

Not in a fake-it-till-you-make-it way.But in a real way — the kind where you'd be proud to meet yourself.In this powerful episode of the Positive Mindset Podcast, Henry Lawrence challenges you to shift your identity at the core. Because the truth is simple:You don't rise to your goals.You rise to your self-image.If you constantly focus on your flaws, failures, and mistakes… you'll live from that energy.But when you become your own biggest fan — when you start rooting for yourself like you would a champion — everything changes.Your standards rise.Your energy shifts.Your confidence becomes internal.This episode will help you:Break the habit of self-criticismStep into your higher self identityRaise your internal standardsBuild true confidence from the inside outAlign with abundance and personal powerAnd at the end, we seal it with a deep healing breath to anchor the shift.This isn't motivation.This is identity activation.If you're ready to stop reacting to life and start leading it — press play.And if this hits at a soul level… subscribe.We are in expansion mode. And you're early.
