Try Life On 150: Deep Diving the Try Life On Framework; A Real World MBA in Lifestyle Design
In this conversation with Mindful Fire podcast host Adam Coelho, Maurice breaks down the exact process he used to integrate three parallel careers over 25 years, retire from each, build sustainable wealth and cash flows, build businesses and more. Along with principles he developed, he walks through the process of creating a life he doesn’t need a vacation from.
That lived experience led to developing the Try Life On Framework which he’s used to coach thousands of people across the world to design their lives and achieve five freedoms (time, financial, geographic, purpose, relationships).
And the purpose of the episode is to give it to you so you can too!
From corporate executive to federal agent to real estate investor living between continents, Maurice shares how intentional design—not hustle—changed everything.
You’ll hear how to reverse-engineer your perfect day, build financial systems that support your lifestyle (not trap you), and shift from “or” thinking to “and” thinking in work and life.
In this episode, we explore:
- 4-step TLO framework (Perfect Day → Lifestyle Blueprint → Financial Blueprint → Principles)
- Why promotions steal your freedom
- Purpose vs. Purposeful work
- Creating a “14-month year” via time architecture
- Designing mobility, autonomy, and meaningful relationships intentionally
If you don’t design your life, you’ll default into someone else’s. This conversation invites you to dream again…and then build it.
