   Meditation, Breath & the Deeper Self, with Miriam Trahan

   This season of Unmotive Show is about mental health — and this episode looks at it through a lens that doesn't always get the spotlight: meditation and meditative breathing. Rotimi sits down with Miriam Trahan, a meditation teacher and yoga-certified practitioner with over a decade of study in breath work and consciousness, and the host of the podcast Miriam's Meditations. Miriam breaks down what meditation actually is (hint: it's not "doing nothing"), how a shift in brainwave state opens up what she calls a "field" of meditation, and why group practice can make it easier to find that state as a beginner. From there, the conversation moves into practical territory — the pen-and-paper technique Miriam still uses to quiet a busy mind, why she builds her practice around a single piece of wordless music, and why she thinks "momentum" is a more useful idea than "discipline" when you're trying to build a habit. Rotimi shares his own mixed history with meditation, including a practice that didn't stick after a difficult experience, and Miriam responds with something a lot of new practitioners need to hear: that discomfort during practice is a real signal worth listening to, not something to push through alone. It's a grounded, honest conversation about a subject that can otherwise feel abstract.

   Sales is the best job in the world w/ Nicolas Loise

   This episode of Unmotive Show explores the intersection of small business growth, founder pressure, sales strategy, personal wellness, and lifestyle balance through a conversation with Nick Loise. Nick brings a grounded perspective from years in sales, marketing, lead generation, business development, and founder-led business consulting. He begins by sharing how his career started with cold calls and sales scripts, then evolved into marketing leadership, agency ownership, a successful business exit, and eventually work focused on helping small businesses build better sales systems. The conversation centers on a reality that many founders know well: small business ownership can be both deeply meaningful and extremely demanding. Nick talks about the emotional and practical pressure founders carry, the difficulty of managing themselves when no one else is setting the pace, and why many business owners need better systems for sales, marketing, leadership, and daily execution. A major theme of the episode is that business success cannot be separated from personal sustainability. Nick shares his own routine—early mornings, workouts, stretching, reading, family time, evening walks, and intentional rest—as part of the structure that helps him show up well in work and life. The episode also becomes a live strategy session for GoalOasis, where Nick challenges the idea of building for everyone. He pushes for a sharper niche, a clearer audience, a stronger "for and against" position, and a practical go-to-market strategy built around early users, testimonials, case studies, grassroots communities, and consistent messaging. The result is a conversation about what it really takes to grow: not just more hustle, but clearer focus, better habits, sharper positioning, and a healthier relationship with the work itself.
