  • 141: Designing a Life You Practice with Marc Weisi
    Dec 19 2025

    What if you didn’t have to destroy your current life to create your next one?

    In this episode, Maurice Philogene sits down with Marc Weisi, a former Wall Street professional who quietly designed a life of freedom—without burning the boats or chasing overnight success. Marc shares how he used his 9–5 as leverage, made “boring but powerful” financial decisions, and slowly built optionality that allowed him to walk away from corporate life at 37.

    When a family health scare forced a moment of truth, Marc didn’t panic—he stepped into a life he had already been practicing. Today, he splits time between Puerto Rico and the U.S., runs a boutique hotel, consults on projects he cares about, and designs his days on his own terms.


    In this conversation, you’ll learn:

    • Why you don’t need to quit your job to reclaim your time
    • How to practice a future lifestyle before committing to it
    • The power of leveraging W-2 income instead of resenting it
    • Why freedom is a skill set—not a destination

    If you’ve ever felt that quiet pull telling you there’s more available—but you’re not sure how to get there—this episode will show you what’s possible when you move intentionally, not impulsively.

  • 140: Bet on Yourself Before You’re Ready with Lolly Spindler
    Dec 12 2025

    What if the moment you fear most becomes the one that finally sets you free?


    When Lolly Spindler got a phone call in Cambodia telling her she was fired effective immediately, she had two options: run back to safety… or bet on herself. That single moment became the catalyst for a life built on intention, creativity, and radical self-trust.


    In this conversation with Maurice, Lolly shares how losing her full-time job pushed her to grow her freelance writing business, move abroad, and eventually build a life-changing coaching practice helping others heal and design their lives through writing. She opens up about identity shifts, fear, intuition, the emotional side of storytelling, and how to create a life that actually fits you.


    We explore:

    • ​How to treat your side skill as a real path, not a hobby
    • ​Why writing slows your brain down enough to hear your intuition
    • ​How to move through identity shifts without blowing up your life
    • ​The truth about living abroad, building community, and creating a “family of choice”
    • ​Why you don’t need permission to expand, evolve, or reinvent yourself


    This episode invites you to ask:

    Where am I waiting for permission? And what life could open up if I finally gave it to myself?

  • 138: Frameworks for Life You Don’t Need Vacation From
    Nov 28 2025

    What if your life could expand the moment you stopped shrinking yourself to fit the status quo?


    Maurice breaks down the deeper meaning behind the three pillars he’s been exploring: human performance, human dignity, and human divinity. Drawing from years of coaching, global travel, military leadership, and a lifetime of unconventional choices, Maurice reveals how these themes repeatedly show up in the lives of people who refuse to live small.


    He also revisits the Try Life On Framework of mechanical blueprints—your Perfect Day, Lifestyle Blueprint, Financial Blueprint, and core principles—and explains how they work hand-in-hand with your inner world to create a life you don’t need a vacation from.


    In this episode, Maurice explores:

    • ​How committing to your Perfect Day unlocks true human performance
    • ​Why human dignity begins with internal worth—not external approval
    • ​How conscious creation and intentional living shape your outer reality



    If you’re ready to design life with purpose, courage, and deeper awareness, this episode invites you to start now.

  • 137: Protecting the Mind: A Dialogue on Mental Dieting with Earl Talbot
    Nov 21 2025

    What if the life you’re living isn’t even yours?


    This episode was never planned. It began as a simple check-in from Earl Talbot in the UK, a man Maurice hadn’t spoken to in months after stepping away from LinkedIn and social media as part of his own mental diet. What followed was a spontaneous voice-note exchange that unfolded into a powerful, real-time exploration of consciousness, imagination, and the unseen programming shaping our daily lives.


    As Maurice and Earl speak, something clicks. The conversation moves from curiosity to clarity, from habit to awareness. Together, they unpack the quiet danger of mental clutter and the liberation that comes from guarding your subconscious with intention.


    This isn’t theory. This is lived experience, recorded in motion.


    You’ll journey through:

    • How most of your thoughts were never chosen by you

    • The subtle way social media and mainstream narratives infiltrate your imagination

    • Mental dieting through the lens of Emmet Fox, Neville Goddard, and Wallace Wattles

    • The moment awareness breaks and expansion begins

    • Why “waking up” permanently removes you from the status quo

    • How imagination, emotion, and focus construct your reality


    This episode is a reminder: your mind is sacred terrain. When you protect it, you reclaim authorship of your life.


    Not by force. By awareness. By intention. By choosing what gets to live in your inner world.
