We spend so much time chasing what’s next or replaying the past—but have you ever wondered what you might see if you just looked left or right?

In this brief episode, Maurice hops on to record while travelling in Barcelona, Spain, to share a heartfelt moment with his listeners.

While revisiting some familiar faces, Maurice found himself deep in reflection. All his travelling adventures and the friendships rekindled on this journey, sparked a powerful thought: we spend so much of our lives looking ahead to what’s next or looking back on what’s been, that we rarely look left or right. But it’s in those side glances that we notice the relationships, routines, and quiet victories that we often take for granted.

Maurice encourages us all to pause—to stop getting swept up in the constant momentum—and simply take a look around. Because sometimes, the most meaningful parts of life are already right beside you, waiting to be acknowledged.

What would your life look like if your income didn’t depend on your location or your daily availability?

In this episode of Try Life On, Maurice hosts an 2025 mastermind session with a select group from the TLO global community to dive deep into one of the foundational pillars of designing a life on your own terms: leveraging outsourcing, automation and elimination.

Together, they unpack how embracing these tools can help you break free from the constraints of a traditional brick-and-mortar lifestyle and unlock the freedom of a truly digital or mobile one.

Maurice also shares practical tips for achieving geographic freedom, offering insights on how to build systems that allow you to work from anywhere in the world.

You’ll also learn about smart strategies to generate passive income, all while protecting your most valuable resource—your time. Whether you’re just starting your journey toward lifestyle freedom or looking to optimize your current setup, this episode is for you!

What if retirement wasn't the end of your journey, but the beginning of the most meaningful chapter of your life? In this episode of Try Life On, Maurice sits down with Elizabeth Zalinka Parsons, founder, lawyer, author, speaker, coach, and consultant. Elizabeth shares her mission to help high-achieving entrepreneurs, professionals, and executives design intentional lives beyond their current careers. But make no mistake: this isn’t about winding down—it’s about leveling up.

While the idea of “retirement” often conjures images of rest and relaxation, Elizabeth challenges that narrative. She helps her clients tap into the freedom of this life transition without falling into aimlessness or stagnation. Instead, it’s about crafting a fulfilling next chapter—whether that’s launching a new venture, diving into a passion project, or finally doing the work that aligns with your deeper purpose. This conversation is a powerful reminder to reflect on what you're truly seeking—not just when the work ends, but as a new journey begins.
