178: Stop Chasing Success. Start Living. Maurice Visits Eating Crow Podcast
What if the life you’re working so hard to build is actually keeping you from living? In this special episode, Maurice Philogene visits Pete Durand on the Feeding Crows Podcast to talk about redefining success, building financial freedom, and creating a life centered on experiences, relationships, and freedom. Pete shares his unconventional journey through the military, law enforcement, corporate leadership, real estate, and entrepreneurship and how those experiences shaped his belief that money should create more options to live, not simply more things to own. Together, they unpack how to break free from society’s definition of success and intentionally design a life around what matters most. In this episode: Why financial freedom is really about creating life options, not becoming wealthy How your mental diet and environment shape the way you experience life Why service, relationships, travel, and curiosity can matter more than titles and money The three things Pete wants his sons to prioritize: be happy, be good, and learn how to make money grow The goal isn’t to work harder so you can someday start living. It’s to build a life that gives you the freedom to live now.
