MOTM #445: Best Practices for Hosting Your First Live Event

January 30, 2023

My girl, JillFit, and I are hot-off-the-heels of our first in-person LEGACY event for the year, so I thought it would be the perfect time to give you a behind the scenes look at what it looks like to run your own live event. There’s a special magic that happens when you’re in the room with other like-minded creatives and entrepreneurs, and if you’ve ever thought of going to or hosting one, I highly, highly recommend.



Let’s chat.



Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, 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.
