If you’ve been running a business in the online space for any length of time, you’ll know that a lot of people use outdated marketing methods when promoting things like summits—methods that, quite frankly, feel manipulative rather than relational. In today’s episode of the Movement Makers podcast, I invite Dawn Serra, CEO of Radical Summits, onto the show to talk about how entrepreneurs can create successful, ethical, and inclusive online events and summits that prioritize relationship-building over getting butts in seats.
Joining me for a conversation about how to uphold your boundaries and level up your influence is executive presence coach and founder of Copper + Rise, Joanna Lovering.

We also talk about how we can choose to show up differently, develop a sense of agency, and determine our true priorities.
N. Chloé Nwangwu is the founder of NobiWorks, a brand awareness consultancy, and a writer and researcher who has advised everyone from small island nations and the first refugee delegation to the UN to small, black-owned mom-and-pop shops.
