Description

We're resharing on of Maurice's most popular interviews. In this conversation Maurice sits down with John J. York for a rare, wide-open conversation that starts with GH memories and turns into a deep dive on faith, mental health, and finding peace. They talk candidly about mania vs. anxiety, why staying on medication matters, and how prayer and routine helped John through life’s pivots. You’ll also hear gratitude for executive producer Frank Valentini’s leadership, Chicago family stories, and a light nod to John’s “Playgirl cover” and Werewolf days. It’s honest, warm, and quietly powerful—proof that connection is the point.
