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.

Kamal Johnson is the first Black mayor of Hudson, NY--and its youngest. In our conversation, he talks about how his early years shaped the person and leader he has become. He describes his vision of governance as an all-hands-on-deck endeavor, seeking out people and partnerships that will help the citizens of Hudson. He speaks with authenticity, honesty, and vulnerability and acknowledges that what he does, he can't do alone. That acknowledgment is part of his moxie.
In this episode, we're joined by Griffin Cooper, senior staff writer and reporter for Main Street Magazine's print and digital content. He has covered Kamal Johnson over the past several years, highlighting his campaign and initiatives on behalf of Hudson, NY.
