Podcasts about stop doubting

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.

What if the reason you don't feel confident isn't that you lack ability, but because you've stopped noticing the evidence of how capable you really are?In this powerful Moment, Zoe is joined by confidence expert and UPFRONT founder Lauren Currie to explore why so many mothers struggle to recognise their value—and the simple weekly practice that can help rebuild confidence and quieten your inner critic.Lauren explains why confidence isn't something you either have or don't have. It's a skill that can be strengthened by gathering real evidence of your progress, achievements and abilities. This is known as the “progress principle”: recording the things you've done, learned and handled well so that self-doubt can't simply dismiss them.They also explore why this matters beyond paid work. Motherhood develops valuable skills, but mothers rarely receive recognition or positive feedback for them. By actively noticing how you have grown, from handling a difficult moment more calmly to managing situations that once overwhelmed you, you can begin to change the story you tell yourself about who you are and what you're capable of.Lauren also shares the simple ten-minute Friday ritual she uses to build confidence, recognise her progress and quieten the feeling that nothing she achieves is ever quite enough.

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 Permission06:36 Overcoming Hesitation and ProcrastinationFeatured 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.

  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.

  What if the reason marketing feels so exhausting is that you've been doing the cold version everyone told you was normal? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Billy Sammons, founder of Live Local Warm Marketing and a strategist with 15+ years in the game, to unpack the power of warm marketing — the relationship-driven, community-first approach that turns your best connections into your best clients.  Billy breaks down why cold leads are draining your energy and your wallet, how to generate referrals on purpose instead of by luck, and why marketing that "feels good" isn't soft — it's the smartest growth strategy small businesses have. If you've ever avoided marketing because it felt fake, pushy, or cringe, this conversation will hand you a better way.

  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.

  What if the fastest path to scale isn't wider — it's more focused? What if the businesses most people overlook are the ones most quietly building generational wealth?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Jon Ostenson — founder and CEO of FranBridge Consulting, top 1% franchise consultant in the United States, 2x Inc. 5000 company builder, Forbes contributor, and author of the bestselling Non-Food Franchising. Jon spent fifteen years building an elite corporate career — from international consulting at Accenture, to Vice President of Sales at Carter's managing over $350 million annually, to President of ShelfGenie's 200-location national franchise system — before making the focused, deliberate bet that changed everything: building the country's defining practice in non-food franchise consulting at a time when 80% of the market was talking about food. Today, FranBridge has guided thousands of entrepreneurs toward franchise investments in over 600 high-growth, cash-flowing brands across home services, senior care, property services, pet care, health and wellness, and dozens more — with over 90% of clients investing in an industry that was never on their radar when they arrived.  In this conversation, Jon and Maurice dig into:Why niching down is the most powerful path to scaling upThe corporate exit story — what fifteen years inside the machine built and what it couldn'tWhy non-food franchising is the most underestimated wealth-building asset class availableThe semi-absentee model — building income without building another jobThe discipline of strategic "no" and why saying less yes is what most businesses need mostThe lightbulb moment — why the best opportunity almost never looks like what you expectedBuilding toward generational wealth through focused, intentional business ownership  This one is for every entrepreneur who is spreading too thin, every corporate professional who wants to own something without losing everything, and every dreamer who has been told the obvious path is the best one. 

We often inherit dreams from family, teachers, or society without realizing they don't belong to us. Maurice shares personal stories of chasing empty validation and offers a way to reclaim your own authentic purpose.Chapter Summary:00:00:00 The Dangers of External Validation00:08:00 Living Your Authentic DreamFeatured Quotes:“Not every dream you're chasing is actually yours; some were inherited, some were imposed, some may have even been expected.” — Maurice“Comparison at times can create a counterfeit purpose.” — Maurice“You are allowed to want what you want. And that's without apology.” — MauriceBehind the Story:Maurice reflects on a lifetime of seeking applause, from childhood report cards to professional milestones. By examining his own history of external reliance, he provides a roadmap for listeners to distinguish their genuine desires from imposed expectations.

  What if the most underestimated productivity decision you make every day happens before you ever open your laptop — and it's happening in your closet?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Lacey Cadieux-McLean — founder and CEO of Rhubaia Ventures Inc., former 15-year IT project manager, published young adult author, natural fitness competitor, mother, and fashion-tech disruptor who launched one of Canada's most innovative women's fashion companies at age 41. Rhubaia combines non-toxic, sustainably crafted professional apparel — made from natural cotton, bamboo, banana leaf, and eco-friendly silk — with an AI-powered virtual closet app designed to solve one of the most quietly expensive problems in a busy person's day: decision fatigue, starting the moment you get dressed. Lacey's personal philosophy — "never say can't" — has carried her through every significant pivot in a life that defies any single category. And her founding conviction is both deeply personal and broadly applicable: what you wear affects how you feel, how you perform, and how you show up — and most of us have never been invited to take that seriously enough to do something about it.   In this conversation, Lacey and Maurice explore:The real cost of decision fatigue — and why it's starting before your first meetingThe psychology of enclothed cognition and how what you wear changes who you becomeLacey's transformation story: 15-year IT veteran to fashion-tech founder at 41What most people don't know about what's actually in their clothes — and why it mattersHow Rhubaia's AI closet solves the "I have nothing to wear" paradoxSustainable fashion as values alignment, not just a trendThe "never say can't" philosophy and what becomes possible when you stop treating limitation as fact  This one is for every entrepreneur who gets dressed every morning without thinking about it — and what that's been costing them. 

  What if the most expensive thing you're doing in your business right now is softening your leadership to make sure everyone around you is comfortable with it?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Kim Miller-Hershon — executive coach, founder of Kim Miller-Hershon Coaching and Consulting, known widely as "The Queen of Productivity," and a nearly two-decade veteran of empowering high-achieving leaders across startups and Fortune 500 companies. With a double major in communication and economics from UC Santa Barbara and a double master's in public administration and nonprofit management, Kim combines academic rigour with deep personal experience: much of her inspiration for helping others overcome obstacles comes from overcoming her own. Kim's work lives at the intersection of three things most leadership development programs treat as separate: communication, confidence, and the willingness to lead without apology. Her conviction is as clear as it is confronting — you can be brilliant, credentialed, experienced, and deeply caring, and still be accidentally undermining your own authority every day with the way you communicate, the things you delegate (or don't), and the "yeses" you keep giving when the business needs your "no."   In this conversation, Kim and Maurice explore:What apologetic leadership looks and sounds like — and what it's costing youThe difference between delegating and delegating well — the art and the scienceKim's personal transformation story and what it built in her as a coachThe three decisions that break the bottleneck pattern and expand your leadership ceilingWhy communication is not one skill among many — it's the language through which all other leadership is expressedHow imposter syndrome and overthinking trap even the most accomplished leadersWhat it actually means to create more leaders instead of more followers  This one is for every leader who is good at their work and secretly exhausted by the weight of doing it in a way that requires everyone else's approval.

  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.

Maurice shares his personal journey and challenges with self-honesty, exploring why many avoid confronting their true identities.

 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. BestaudaciouslifeLinktree  In this episode, you'll discover:The story of moving a life from a dead-end mess to a place unimaginable — from paralyzing fear, dishonesty, and despair to a life of presence, discipline, and faith Pre-Zero Sports TalkWhat the real internal fight is — and why it is the most expensive and least acknowledged battle in most people's livesWhy stopping the addiction was only step one — and what true transformation actually requiresHow Daryl's recovery journey made him a stronger entrepreneur — and why "I am the product I put out into the world" is the most powerful business philosophy available LinkedInWhat retiring at 48 revealed about what success actually is — and isn'tThe profile of the high-achiever who is winning externally but currently losing the battle with themselves — and what it takes to change that LinktreeDaryl's definition of success — waking up in the morning with a smile on his face — and what it cost him to earn the right to say it SCOTT E CURRY  If you have been building something external while fighting something internal and wondering why the arrival never feels like enough — this episode is the conversation that changes the question.

  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.

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.
