MOTM #702: What to Expect When You Start Speaking Up Online

Monday, February 2nd, 2026

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. 

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.
