I (Michael Paul Lane) was born and raised in a religious cult and left the home on my 18th birthday. I was finally allowed to date for the first time, listen to whatever I want, and do whatever I want- it was true freedom. But freedom and options can be complicated and overwhelming. Trying to understand what's right or wrong seemed impossible in the real world.
I started my first business at the age of 18, married by 19, and was burnt out and divorced by 23. Bitten by the entrepreneurial bug, knocked off my feet, and driven by the scent of life, this action led me on a path towards profound self-discovery.
After years of starting companies, traveling the world, learning from so many people, and experiencing the edges of life- I decided to cultivate a personal brand that shares my rare perspective and truly reflects my personal style called QIAROSKURO. Qiaroskuro was designed for those unique individuals who choose to live a life of contrasting experiences. When the world goes left, you go right.
I told myself when I was a young boy, struggling with my own mental health, that someday if I ever found answers - I would share them with the world. I am finishing a book called "in the absence of darkness..." to match the fragrance I have already released on the Qiaroskuro website. This book is my attempt at helping people in the dark, but also reminding us of the great power, motivation, and inspiration that can be drawn from these dark moments.

Why I (Michael Paul Lane) decided to launch The Unmotivational Podcast and my own personal brand
The first 18 years of my life were spent growing up in a strict, religious cult. Church multiple days a week, private Christian school, no talking to the opposite sex, no secular music, etc. And without re-writing my book here, I'll keep this story short. When I left the home on my 18th birthday I started looking for answers to life's biggest moral questions. At the same time, trying to figure out how to just become a normal person... or better yet- my best self. I started my first business at 18, married by 19, and by 22 was burnt out and divorced. I really started to focus on this exploration of life which led me on some pretty extremes paths but also brought me closer to this understanding of "self" over time. I realized how important it was to have these external and internal explorations of the mind, body, and spirit. But I also noticed how valuable a diversified group of teachers were to my development.
Now, 18 years later, I've been able to help other people develop creative strategies for their own life or business. And this podcast is my way of sharing some of that information with everyone.
