Hope Mikal is the CEO and Founder of Unicorn Marketing Co., a creative marketing agency that believes marketing should feel magical, not give major icks. With a background in film, events, and storytelling, Hope brings a curious heart and creative eye to everything she does.

She started the Magic Hour Podcast to hold space for real, honest conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, and trailblazers who are doing business differently. What began as a passion project rooted in connection and curiosity has grown into a platform for sharing ideas, breaking norms, and reminding us that we’re not alone in the messy middle of entrepreneurship.

Every episode, Hope invites listeners to explore what’s possible when we lead with intention, intuition, and a little sparkle.

After Hours is the Magic Hour Podcast’s mini-series where the energy softens, but the insights go even deeper. Imagine the moment the inbox quiets, the to-do list is paused, and conversations get even more intentional. These short, standalone episodes give our guests the mic to teach, guide, or walk you through something meaningful—whether it’s a mindset shift, soulful practice, or strategy they swear by. After Hours shifts into a slower, more intimate gear. Less noise, more clarity.

Perfect for a walk, a journal moment, or a cozy reset—After Hours invites you to lean in, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

—Josie Piper | Episode 12
