Maurice Willen — Multi-faceted strategist and advisor — Join us for a profound exploration of personal and professional growth, as Maurice shares transformative insights on designing a fulfilling life that prioritizes health, passion, and alignment with personal values.

In this uncut conversation he tells Enrico:
• Growth issues often stem from design problems rather than a lack of effort, emphasizing the need for intentional life design.
• A chance encounter with a successful stranger reshaped Maurice’s perspective, highlighting the importance of self-impression over societal validation.
• Health is the cornerstone of productivity, structured into physical, mental, and spiritual aspects, reinforced by practical routines and data-driven assessments.
• Traditional education systems often encourage conformity; Maurice advocates for personalized learning that nurtures individual passions and critical thinking.
• The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) principle underscores the importance of diligent saving and smart investing to achieve financial freedom in just 16-17 years.
