Main Street Moxie
Main Street Moxie was born out of our love of the spoken word and constantly being inspired by people, businesses, and organizations that are mavericks in their own way. Our guests took a leap, all because they believed in themselves, and as a result, made something out of nothing. They had a vision and the necessary belief, and paved a new way – they had MOXIE! You can learn from these moxie stories. We're all capable of moxie in our lives and through our conversations with guests, you'll learn how to move your own moxie along the moxie meter.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Judith Monachina has understated moxie and wonders if she even possesses it! We've convinced her otherwise.
She is currently the Director of the Housatonic Heritage Oral History Center at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield, MA. In that role, she records and archives the fascinating moxie stories of her subjects, past and present.
She was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in journalism and researched the lives of individuals from the Jewish community in fascist Milan, Italy. Judith is also the Project Director for the Paper Town Projects, creating a documentary about the paper-making legacy in Lee, MA. Before all these impressive pursuits, she was the associate director of Public Affairs at Bard College at Simon's Rock, director of the Career Education department at Columbia University, and a journalist, photographer, and freelance writer for numerous publications.
