Embodying Tenacity from the Gym to the Big Screen with Maurice Moore

The Mindset Forge

Approaching the age of 50 with the same fervor as my younger years hasn't been a walk in the park. Luckily, Maurice Moore joined me to share the secrets of his vitality, providing invaluable insights into how he's crafted a career in the demanding world of showbiz while keeping health and fitness at the forefront. As we unravel Maurice's remarkable journey from a small-town kid in North Carolina to a Hollywood hotshot, we discover the critical interplay between physical vigor and professional triumph.
This episode is a deep dive into the discipline that fuels success across all of life's arenas. Maurice and I dissect how the rigor of maintaining fitness and the mental fortitude it cultivates spill over into the relentless entertainment industry and personal lives. We also get candid about the importance of intrinsic motivation—how it outstrips the allure of fame and fortune—and how consistency in the gym can act as a metaphor for steadfastness in family, career, and personal aspirations.
But the conversation doesn't stop at just fitness. Maurice's acting chops and the transformative power of theater education are also under the spotlight. We revisit his early break into acting alongside industry legends, the mentorships that shaped his path, and the mindset that's required to master the craft. If you're seeking inspiration to pursue your passions or looking to imbue your middle years with purpose and health, Maurice's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, discipline, and knowledge as the ultimate tools for overcoming life's hurdles.
Maurice Moore describes himself as a “storyteller”, whom at an early age received a life
changing opportunity when Steven Spielberg cast him in the Academy Award nominated classic “The Color Purple”. This fueled his passion to become an actor, then ultimately a producer and filmmaker. Maurice went on to hone his talent on the stage and screen working in productions from Austin to Los Angeles.
After a decade long stint in Los Angeles where he found success as a screenwriter, filmmaker, and producer Maurice took his valuable business experience to Austin, TX where he created Motivate Pictures.
Within the first five years of its existence Maurice, working alongside his long time
cinematographer Alex Rios, has turned Motivate Pictures into a multi-award-winning
production company including films such as “The Devil Inside Us”, “DejaVu” and “The Place She Dwells” With that success Motivate Pictures has expanded globally and created Motivate Pictures Europe! Maurice and his team have gone on to produced critically acclaimed projects all over Europe that includes “Skillz”, “The Heist”, “Light”, “Blue”, “Cold Love”, “Executive Decision” and “And Justice” to name a few.
