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.

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.…
