In this inspiring episode of Try Life On, Maurice sits down with Amy Sylvis, a recognized public speaker and the principal of Sylvis Capital. Born with cystic fibrosis, Amy was given little hope of making it into her teens. Yet, she defied odds, navigating life with resilience despite significant limitations. Forced to medically retire at 35, she found new hope through groundbreaking treatment and by 40, launched her own real estate investment company. Today she’s achieved what we all want - time, financial and location freedom - living life on her own terms.


Amy opens up about her incredible journey—turning adversity into opportunity and proving that true resilience knows no bounds. Tune in as she shares with Maurice how she’s not just surviving but thriving, and learn how you, too, can embrace life’s challenges and try life on.
