What if your greatest breakthrough started with a layoff?

In this episode of Try Life On, Maurice Philogene sits down with Dennis Geleen—author of The Accidental Solopreneur—to unpack how a sudden career disruption became the catalyst for a completely reimagined life. Dennis shares how embracing serendipity, expanding his "luck surface area," and leaning into discomfort led him to build a successful solo consulting practice, write multiple books, and coach others to do the same.

Key Takeaways:

• Why safety and comfort might be your biggest trap

• How to spot and act on life’s “happy accidents”

• What it means to build a life you don’t need a vacation from

If you've ever found yourself asking, "Is this really it?"—this conversation might be the sign you've been waiting for.
