Untold with Niamh Buffini

This week on Untold, Niamh sits down with yoga teacher and online studio founder Maura Rath. She talks about leaving a well-paid corporate job, travelling to India in 2017 to find her passion, and coming home to build a career in yoga with no guarantee it would work.  
Maura shares the biggest lesson of her career, and how it shaped who she has become. Now expecting her first baby, she reflects on the community she has built, why she protects it so fiercely, and how she plans to stay connected during maternity leave.  
In this episode, you'll discover: 
Why you don't need a business plan to start a business.  
How a financial safety net can give you the freedom to take a risk on a career change. 
The warning signs of burnout when you're working for other people, and why building multiple revenue streams matters. 
Why doing your research and keeping your ego in check matters before a big investment and why taking risks is vital to business growth. 
How to handle the emotional toll of a costly mistake and start again from scratch. 
Why trusting people on face value, and people-pleasing with big companies, can work against you. 
How to build an online community that feels supportive rather than toxic, and why in-person events and retreats deepen it.

Shane Beatty has been on air practically every day since 2006. In this episode, he explains how a teenage Saturday job in local radio led to national news, the White House and Newstalk's Breakfast Briefing. 
Shane knew from the age of six or seven what he wanted to do for a living. He talks about how he got there and what the job is really like, including the early mornings, the pressure and the on-air mistakes, but that the genuine love for it is what keeps him going. 
What you'll take away: 
Finding work you love makes even the hardest days easier. 
Starting early and taking small opportunities can lead to big things. 
Being consistent matters more than being perfect. 
Putting yourself forward and introducing yourself can open doors. 
Pressure and criticism are part of any high-profile job, and you can learn to manage them. 
Stamina and a strong work ethic matter as much as talent.
