MOTM #730: Everyone’s Trying to Sell You Something

Monday, August 17th, 2026

Everyone is always trying to sell you something. I get it, and I’m not always opposed to it—I sell things all the time—but sometimes I absolutely hate it. There’s no such thing as an “objectively” right or wrong way to do anything, and if someone is telling you so, all they care about is getting your monies. At the end of the day, you’re a grown up and you can do whatever you want. Buy things and sell things with reckless abandon, as long as you know that not every marketer out there has your best intentions in mind.

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.
