In this episode, Maurice visits The Second Act Podcast with Michael Newborn and John Ballinger.

John and Maurice became friends a year ago as both are military veterans. John, a retired US Marine Lt. Colonel, was a Presidential Helicopter pilot. He and Maurice discussed trying life on as John retired and, in John’s words, it changed his trajectory and life. He reflects on what’s happened since being convinced to veer away from status quo government life after retiring as a result.

John, Michael, and Maurice challenge traditional notions of work and life discussing real motivations behind people's desire for financial, time, location and other freedoms, and how societal pressures often cloud our true purpose and need to live with intention.

Through personal stories and insightful coaching moments, they emphasizes the importance of designing a life that feels right, rather than chasing metrics that don’t resonate. Listeners will gain a fresh perspective on what it means to live intentionally, pursue authentic happiness, and truly break free from societal expectations.
