If you didn’t know, I like to choose a word to focus on at the beginning of the year, almost like an intention, to help guide my actions and keep me focused. For 2023, I chose “Create.” We’re a little over halfway through the year, so I figured now would be a great time to reflect on whether I’ve been sticking to my word, and whether you’ve been sticking to yours. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, an...

How much of your personal life should you be sharing on social media? It’s a question I get asked quite a lot and y’all already know there won’t be a clear answer. It’s your business and at the end of the day, it’s up to you! Do I think there’s utility in sharing your personality online? Absolutely I do. But it all comes down to integrity: if you’re sharing truthfully, it won’t matter how much you do or don’t share online. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online ...

If you haven’t heard, Meta, the company behind Instagram and Facebook, has come out with a new social media: Threads. Over 69 million people are on it so far, and it’s essentially a version of Twitter, but do you need to be on it? What is it even good for? You know I’ve already got lots to say. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka T...

What really matters when it comes to online business? What should you believe, what works? Does the approach you take really even matter? Y’all know I’m all about taking action.

I’ve been podcasting since 2018, releasing 2 episodes almost every week, so I’ve got the process down to a science. This podcast is one of my favorite things to do and helps me create some of my most important content.

Let’s talk supplement stacks. Maybe it seems random as hell to you, but it’s my business, my podcast, and I’m gonna talk about the things I want to talk about. I don’t take a ton of supplements, but what I do use, I love.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners f...

Is Instagram killing creativity? Yes. Yes, it is. As much as I hate blaming it, we’re all merely victims to the Algorithm Gods. And while you could certainly try your best to chase after the algorithm, I wouldn’t recommend it because that shit is always changing. So what do we do? Is it hopeless out there for creators? Y’all know I don’t subscribe to that bleak way of thinking. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate m...

I don’t do discovery calls anymore. “But Maestro,“ I hear you saying, “didn’t you *just* mention your discovery calls, only 3 episodes ago?” I sure did, but things change and with online business they change quickly. I was growing resentful of discovery calls, so I got rid of them. Want to know why? Well, you’ll just have to keep listening. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they...

This episode is the second part of a 2-part episode with my girl, my twin Laura Jean. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, get on that! I’m always mentioning Laura Jean on this podcast because she’s had such a profound impact on the way I think, and after you hear these two episodes I know you’ll feel the same way. I see a lot online about “putting yourself first” and “self-care” but so much of it is all talk, no action. Laura Jean is laying out what it actually means to put yourself first, a...

This episode is the first half of a 2-part episode with my girl, my twin Laura Jean. It’s been a while since I had her on the podcast, but it doesn’t feel like that because I mention her pretty much every-other episode and that’s due to the fact that she’s had such a profound impact on the way I think. Laura Jean is a light and a leader, and she makes me feel less alone—I’m sure after listening to this episode you’ll feel the same way. We all want to belong. We want to be seen, heard, and known...

So, you want to hire an online business coach. There are eleventy-billion (yes, that’s the actual number) coaches out there, it shouldn’t be that hard to pick one. We all have different ideas for best practices to create a viable business, but every approach works for someone! All you need to do is pick the coach that will help you actually do the thing, instead of waiting around for the “perfect” coach to fall into your lap. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps onli...

Selling merch is fucking dope. The fact that I created a brand and a value system that people—some of whom I’ve never even met—want to represent in their own lives isn’t something I take for granted. You can sell your own merch, too, and you can do it without ever having to set foot in a post office. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield,...

Before y’all start to worry, no I am not taking a break from Insta. It is something I see a lot of people wanting to do, but are afraid to do so. I’ll be the one to tell you that there’s nothing wrong with wanting to or taking a little break every now and then.

Peloton got a BBL.

Where my clinicians at?! This episode is for anyone out there who’s thinking about transitioning away from patient care. I’m not here to discourage you from treating at all, it’s entirely possible to go for it and love it, but if it’s time for you to move on, there are some things you’ve got to get in line first.

I’m obsessed with looking for the best of the best, and finding people who are committed to making the best possible product. It’s always been my goal to help all of you cut through the noise out there and just find good shit that works well. That’s why I’m so pumped to be talking to (former Chiropractor, believe it or not!) Nick Colosi, who is the co-founder of Smart Tools, a company providing BFR, IASTM, and other PT tools. I specifically wanted to talk to Nick about the BFR—or Blood Flow Res...

The way I see it, setting boundaries with your clients is simply choosing to make your own well-being a priority rather than someone else’s desires. We have no problem setting boundaries for kids or other people we care about, so why is it so damn hard when it comes to boundary setting for ourselves? Boundaries are basic. If you want to be doing this for a long time, you’re gonna need to learn ho to set them. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owner...

Erica Webb works with the people-pleasers of the world. As a former people-pleaser and self-hater, she helps others who are just like her past self, those with a nasty inner-critic, to find self-kindness through movement and mindset. Because according to Erica, we can change the world when we’re kind to ourselves. It’s not been a smooth or a quick journey for Erica, and that’s why I had to bring her on. This is what building an online business looks like. It’s not instant success, or millions o...

If you want to launch an online course and actually be successful, you need this episode. There are plenty of people out there that will happily take your money to teach you how to create a course, but won’t tell you the truth about whether or not you really should make one, nor will they teach you how to create a course that is successful for you AND your clients. Your success matters to me, so I’m telling you everything you need to know. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast t...
