Physical therapist turned entrepreneur, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, is the host of Maestro on the Mic, and the founder of The Movement Maestro LLC, a social-media based company that provides both online and in-person education for health and movement professionals around the world. Shanté’s professional pursuits center around providing business coaching, with a focus on brand strategy and community development in the ever-growing digital marketplace. She’s also a proud SoCal resident, drives a hypergreen Jeep Wrangler, and wishes to leave you with this message: Be relentless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire. In this show, Shanté and I have such a great discussion and cover a ton of different topics. We start by talking about her wide-ranging career path, what she means when she says to “diversify your joy portfolio,” why you should focus on effort vs. outcomes, her advice for content creators, and much, much more. The energy and vibe in this show were so amazing, and I really hope you enjoy listening as much as I did recording it.   What kind of results are you getting? They speak for themselves and stand on their own two feet. If you’re teaching a course, and it’s largely based on theory, people are not going to get results! – Shanté Cofield   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Shanté’s unique and wide-ranging journey to where she’s at today. Why she entered – and eventually left – the physical therapy world. Her thoughts on building a brand, and why YOU should be doing it. Shante’s thoughts on getting started with social media, and how to stay consistent even if you’re not getting likes and followers initially. Content Creation: How to make it happen consistently without stressing out and making it a chore. Why confidence is such a huge piece of the puzzle, and her advice to helping you grow your confidence to speak with more clarity, authority and power. Arguably my favorite discussion point in a podcast to date: How to go about building your BEST LIFE.   Connect with Shanté: TheMovementMaestro.com Shanté on Instagram   Stop the Frustration!

In this episode, Joel and I talk about a wide range of topics, including conditioning, building your own business, and much, much more.   If your training consists of go in the gym, smash myself into the ground, recover no days, and then come back the next day and do it again, it’s the crash diet of training – and it’s not sustainable. – Joel Jamieson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Joel’s background and how he got into the training/coaching game. How Joel made a new for himself in the online space – and how educating people in an online forum was key to his success. Why conditioning is such a big piece of his work.

Are you a trainer, coach or rehab professional that is considering starting an internship program? If so, this is your show! IFAST has had an incredibly successful internship program for over 13 years now, and one of the most common questions I get asked is: “How do I build an internship program in my business?” So in this show, I’m going to outline all the do’s and don’ts. The wins and the losses. And perhaps most importantly, how our internship program has evolved over the years. So sit back, relax and take some notes because this episode is chock-full of great info!   We are in a service and people-based business – you’ve got to like helping people. – El Conquistador, Mike Robertson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Arguably the hardest part of starting an internship. What kind of intern do you want/need? The commitment YOU HAVE to make if you want to be a successful mentor. How starting an internship program can actually make your program design, coaching, and overall gym run more effectively. Why it’s critical to set – and uphold – expectations. How to help your interns grow and evolve not only as coaches, but as human beings. The one thing YOU MUST do if you’re going to have interns in your gym. Trusting the process. The simple truth you need to come to grips with as an intern coordinator.   Resources Mentioned: Complete Coach Certification IFAST   IFAST University is BACK! Are You In?

What if I told you I could increase your energy, your income, and your happiness with a few simple steps – would you be interested? And no, I’m not selling you some new MLM product… Instead, I’m going to give you tried-and-true strategies that I use to take care of my body, increase my energy, and work to get a little bit better each and every day. Interested? I sure hope so! Let’s dive in….   It’s not just about LOOKING healthy…it’s about actually BEING HEALTHY. – El Conquistador, Mike Robertson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: How a great day starts the night before. Why planning your day and brain dumping prior to bed can be key to your success. The role nutrition and hydration play in your health (and why you should invest in some help here!). Why coaching should be a part of your daily practice – and the clients you want to avoid at all costs. My thoughts on “coaches who don’t train.” The powerful tool that entrepreneurs, content creators and politicians have used for centuries to gain clarity and insight. A tool from the world of MMA that can help you become a better trainer or coach. Why personal time with friends and family is so critical. The key area I’m lacking in, and what my friends are doing that helps keep them balanced. A simple trick for getting started with meditation/mindfulness, and apps that can help you stay on track.   Resources Mentioned: People to Follow and Listen To Pat Rigsby Craig Ballantyne Books and Podcasts Nick Littlehales Podcast Amy Bender Podcast Nick Littlehales Book Meditation Apps Waking Up Headspace Calm Articles Frank Shamrock +, -, = System   IFAST University is BACK!
