Maurice came from an interesting family background and had to overcome many challenges growing up to get to where he is now. He will share the pearls of wisdom he has gained in his journey. 

Mindset is so powerful. It can either bring you down or push you to accomplish what you were born to do. It is essential to identify the limiting mindsets and smash them so you can move forward.
