When you post your life and your business on the internet, somebody out there always has some shit to say. Let them. We all know trolls come with the territory, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less, and feeding the trolls only makes it worse. So just keep showing up, just keep doing the thing as authentically as you can, and the people who are for you will see you, and your work will speak for itself. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find...

It’s the beginning of the business year and as people get started on their business journeys, I get hit with a lot of “What do I do? What the hell should I use?!” questions. Not to worry, I gotchu. I've dedicated countless hours to sift through the top-notch platforms and software, comparing and contrasting to find what truly works the best for online biz so you don’t have to. And hey, you don't need to have all of this before you can “start.” Just get going, and when you're gearing up for the n...

If you don’t know (although I’m not sure how you wouldn’t) I run a 6 week long intensive on how to use Instagram for online business, but I thought you might like a little Cliff Notes edition—all the most important stuff, condensed into one episode. If you want to up your insta presence this year, start here. 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...

Second episode of the year means we’re switching it up, Thursday Throwback style. I stay preaching that once is never, so I wanted to re-share some episodes every Thursday that you might might like to hear again. We’ve all got New Years goals and resolutions we’re working towards, myself included, but if you’re inconsistent or you make it too hard on yourself, or worse—they’re goals you’ve borrowed from someone else—they ain’t happening. If you want to actually achieve your goals, you know what...

New year, same Maestro. I never left, but I’m back in the new year with an episode on the sometimes-narcissistic nature of social media. Is your content too self-centered? Absolutely not. Need me to elaborate? Y’all already know what to do. 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 The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I...

It is time, once again, for the yearly Meredith Root and Alex Parker recap episode, and if you don’t know who they are, do you even listen to this podcast? I look forward to this conversation every year because Alex and Meredith are 2 people I love and admire, and who are living their best lives. As a couple (and as a brand!) their perspectives are refreshing as hell to see and hear, and y’all already know this episode is both funny and insightful as hell. If there’s anything I want you to take ...

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and Merry Monday to those who don’t! We made it to the last solo-pod of 2023, so I wanted to talk about the predictions & suggestions. I have for the online business space in the upcoming year. I do believe that we tend to see the exact things we’re looking for (confirmation bias, anyone?) so, it drives me crazy when I see people sharing the “only” way to run a business—usually it just isn’t relevant to that specific person. In any case, here’s what I think ...

Are you cut out for this whole entrepreneurship thing? Look, the only way you’ll know for sure is if you go out there, do the thing, and find out for yourself, but I won’t pretend like there aren’t some common traits I see in people who stay in the game long enough to win. Whether or not you’re cut out for entrepreneurship, I can’t say, but that certainty you’re looking for is on the other side of action. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners fi...

We’re 2 weeks away from 2024, and it’s not by accident that I left my planning for the New Year so late. I’m a creature of habit and most of what I did this year, I’ll do next year too. I run my business to maintain the lifestyle I love living, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Look, you don’t have to plan your year the same way I do, but if you wanted to know, now you know. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, gen...

When we talk about finding work-life balance, try to think of it as a verb (“balancing”) rather than a noun (“balance”). Think of someone doing a handstand—balance isn’t something achieved once and then forgotten about, it takes tons of tiny adjustments and re-adjustments just to stay in one place. The same is true in life. You don’t “achieve” work-life balance, you have to be working at it, always. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find the...

Today I wanted to talk about your email list—more specifically, how often you should be sending emails to said list. Your email list is the single most important asset of your business, so it’s not something you can just ignore and hope for the best. So how often should you email your list? As much as you want, really, but y’all already know it’s a little more nuanced than that. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate ...

Look, happiness is subjective—happiness to me isn’t going to mean the same thing to you. But no matter what your “happy” is, there are 3 things you can do that I think will move you towards that happier life, the you’ve been dreaming of. 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 The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I ho...

I keep seeing some posts on Instagram that I strongly disagree with, so instead of just allowing it to bother me or do nothing but complain, I’m making something instead. I’ve seen some people conflating niches with knowables, and while you need both things to have an online business, they couldn’t be more different. 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...

So excited for y’all to hear this double-dip episode with one of my favorite people ever, Dr. Danny Matta. This was originally a catch-up episode for his show, the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, but we had such a great time that I had to share here, too. In this episode, we’re diving into the challenges that many physical therapists face when they want to transition away from direct patient care and explore other areas of the profession. We touch on the physical and mental demands that often lead to ...

Engagement tanking and not sure what to do about it? You must be new here. I hear people bitching about the “numbers” on Insta, but complaining won’t change a damn thing. Meta is always changing up their algorithm and you’ll never “crack the code” to consistent engagement so to speak, but I have 6 ideas for you to try out if your engagement is in the trash right now. Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit,...

Happy Thanksgiving! This episode is bit of a hat tip to the very first episode of this podcast, and over 5 years later, the message remains the same. I recently bought a new espresso machine, and y’all know I love to nerd out and learn all the things there is to know. We all get to do exactly what we want in this life, and isn’t that great? 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...

Recently, I’ve received an influx of PT’s and brick & mortar business owners looking to jump into the online space. I see some people thinking that online is somehow easier than in-person—it’s not—and while you can’t ride two horses with one ass, there are some people who might be able to make the jump online. […]

I’m sure you’ve heard business coaches making claims like, “in order to get to the next level you HAVE to invest” and “all coaches need coaches” as a way to sell their products and services. My personal feelings about that aside, how can you know when it’s time to invest with a coach, even if you’ve invested before but aren’t currently? I wanted to talk about this, not to pitch my own services, y’all know that’s not my style, but because I think more people need to dive into this topic. Let’s c...

Got a shorter episode for you today, but that doesn’t mean the message isn’t sweet. You may know Eminem as one of the greatest lyrical geniuses of our generation, but he’s also got some wisdom that I think is one of the greatest lessons you can learn in business. What is that lesson? Y’all already know you gotta listen to find out. 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'...

This is something I’ve been doing for years, but it wasn’t until recently that I had the language to describe the process. Every time you create an offer, and I do mean every single time, you need to be asking yourself two important questions: How do I get my clients their desired outcome? And what’s getting in the way of this person getting that outcome in the first place? Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more ...

The great-but-terrible thing about online business is that you can learn everything you need to know to start one in about 30 seconds, but for most people it takes basically 30 years to start seeing “success.” Very few people start online and make money in the first few years, so maybe you’ve wondered to yourself how to know when to call it quits for the online business dream. There’s no “right” answer—it could be tomorrow, it could be 5 years from now, but if I had to guess for the type of peop...

I’m not here to tell you how to figure out what matters, I’m here to talk about what ACTUALLY matters. It’s simple but it’s complicated at the same time, because what matters to you might not matter to me, or to anyone else. That’s okay! It’s great even. If something matters to you, it’s as simple as that: it matters. So lean in to it, and stop trying to find out the things that someone else told you “matters.” Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business own...

It’s LEGACY season, y’all. If you’ve listened to the past 4 Business and Bullshit episodes with my girl, JillFit, you know the story of how LEGACY came to be, and how much we love this program. It’s part mentorship-part mastermind, which just means its 100% of the strategy and education you need to take your online business to new heights. LEGACY isn’t just a name, it’s the kind of business we want you to create—not just a flash in the pan success, but a true legacy. If you’re ready to level up...

You’re a human—or at least I think you are—and comparing yourself to others you see on social media happens, it’s okay! What’s not okay is letting that comparisonitis stop you when you’re trying to build your online biz. Normally I’d tell you just to unfollow, but what’s the solution when you find yourself comparing with people you actually want to keep up with? Let’s chat. Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and ...
