Shanté Cofield: Asking Your Question and the Power of "Swipe Up"

Shanté Cofield is a former Division I athlete with a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy from New York State University. She is the creator of The Movement Maestro, a social media based company devoted to all things human movement related that has amassed an astonishing social following of over 43,000 people. She is the host of an equally successful podcast, Maestro on the Mic, which helps professionals in the movement industry turn their passion into a profitable business. In addition to building her empire, Shanté is a lead instructor for RockTape where she travels the world teaching other movement professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, and trainers on how to assess movements and use specific tools to help their clients.

 

Shanté joins me today to share why she left her career as a physical therapist to pursue being an educator at RockTape. She shares how RockTape’s business model helps her build her career and business while traveling the world. She also shares why she chose Instagram as her primary platform to connect with her tribe, how she grew such a massive following, and why she believes entrepreneurs should focus on one social platform instead of trying to build a presence on every platform.
