MOTM #705: Remember How Your Audience Consumes Content Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

Sometimes in the process of making content, we can forget about where and how our audiences are consuming content in the first place. People will always be going at their own pace—it’s not our job to push them to be ready for us, but for us to be ready for them whenever the time is right. In the meantime, we just have to keep going, keep creating, and keep talking about our stuff.

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, deepen their impact, 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 hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

How do YOU consume content?
It’s usually not immediate
Push vs. Pull content
More isn’t always better
Provide an opportunity to binge
Talk about your shit!
Just keep creating

MOTM #704: The Online Business Exit: Knowing When to Shut It Down Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

Starting an online business doesn’t mean you have to run one forever. I’m big on each of living our best lives. If living your best life means running a business, then great, I can help with that! But, if living your best life means stopping your business (forever or just for a while) then you should. The only wrong choice is the one you’re not excited to make.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Walking away is always an option
Finding out what you’re capable of is a helluva drug
You can always come back
Why now?
Knowing what matters to you

MOTM #703: Messaging 101: Congruency Over Cleverness Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

You don’t need cutesy names or clever word play to sell your products, you need congruent marketing. Having an alliterative product name doesn’t matter if your services don’t solve your clients’ problems, if you can’t communicate why your product matters, or if you can’t connect to the values of the people you’re trying to serve. When all three elements align, you have congruency. And when you have congruency, people trust you, and then they buy.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Constant whiplash
Consumption vs. consumerism
Now is always a good time to start
Congruency matters
Start with who YOU are
What does your audience want?
The 3 part Messaging Trifecta

MOTM #702: What to Expect When You Start Speaking Up Online Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

With everything going on in the world and in the US right now, we need more people speaking up. Speaking up and speaking out feels scary and difficult, but it doesn’t have to. There will always be pushback from the people that benefit from the current systems of power, but you’re a good person, and good people attract good people—we need as many good people as possible to be speaking up, because it truly matters. It all matters.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Speaking up does matter
The gaps get bridged with the trickle down effect
Good people attract good people
You will lose followers
Trolls show up, but probably not that many
Getting perspectives
The Overton Window shifts
Change takes longer than we realize

MOTM #701: Is Online Business Just an MLM? Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

In an MLM (or any pyramid scheme for that matter) most people are losing money, and only those at the very top stand to gain anything. Is online business the same thing? It certainly can be! When money is made by selling the idea of money, shit gets sticky. And while financial success isn’t guaranteed when you start an online business, there’s always an opportunity to build something better than everything that’s come before.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Community is the antidote
Who wins in an MLM?
There needs to be more transparency
Possible isn’t the same as probable
Is there an actual service being sold?
B2B vs. B2C
The biggest contributor to success is demand
Building something better

MOTM #700: Get More Followers (with a Twist) Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

If you want more followers, you need to be a leader. Look, we’re in an epidemic of cowardice so when someone has the gall to stand for something, they stand out. When I look around at the current “leadership” online—and in the “real” world for that matter—there are no morals and no integrity to be found. We have the chance to be different, to lead people into building a better, kinder world.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Be a goddamn leader
The best way to complain is to make something
We’re in a cowardice epidemic
What leadership means to me
Why be a leader?
It can be lonely out in front
Who are you worried about offending?
We can build the kind of world we want to live in

MOTM #699: A New Direction for the Mafia Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

The Maestro Mafia is getting an update and by that I mean that it’s mostly staying the same—we’re just doubling down on everything that makes the Mafia so special. Building a business is overwhelming, isolating, and scary and the Mafia has been the kind of support space that business owners in the trenches need. 2026 is going to be even more of that, and I hope to see you at the next dinner.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

What is the Mafia?
The beauty of a support space
Doubling down on what works
Building a business can be isolating—but it doesn’t need to be
What you’ll get in the Mafia

MOTM #698: What if You Made It Affordable? Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

Every online business coach out there will tell you to raise your prices, so let me be the one to tell you that there’s nothing wrong with keeping your prices affordable. You can raise your prices if you want, but it’s not the only way. Just make sure whatever your prices are, they’re not so low that you feel salty about them.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Display your fucking prices
All pricing is subjective
Making your prices affordable is a viable option
Don’t lose your grip on reality
B2B will always be different than B2C
Better clients come with better messaging, not higher prices

MOTM #697: Are New Year’s Resolutions Bullshit? Dec 29, 2025

Show notes

There’s always some negative talk around this time of year around New Years resolutions and in my opinion, it’s a tired conversation. If setting a resolution gets you closer to doing the dam thing, then I’m all for it. Seasonality is real, so if starting January 1 works for you—great. If starting in the spring works for you—great. If starting whenever the hell you want works for you—that’s great too.

Let’s chat.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Anything to get you to do the damn thing
Most people suck at setting goals
If it works for you, it works for you

MOTM #696: Building Your Dream Offer Dec 22, 2025

Show notes

The best part of owning your own business is the fact that you can run this thing however the hell you want. Anything you dream can become your reality. Yeah, you still have to solve problems for people and yeah, you’ll have a little more freedom the more experience and clientele you get, but you still get to call the shots. You get to run your dream business and build your dream offers. And the best part is, the more you love what you’re doing, the better results you’ll be getting for your clients.
