Host Amy Bond talks with Jamie Elchert, founder of the Memorial Pole Championship in Ohio. Jamie is a seasoned pole competitor who created this competition with two missions: to provide access to a quality pole competition in the Midwest with paid, industry leading judges and to raise funds for her sister’s memorial scholarship fund. Jamie and Amy talk about the wild adventure that is running a live event where everything that can go wrong, inevitably does go wrong. They discuss the business of pole competitions, which team members Jamie found essential, why she was adamant about paying her judges, and what she's working on for the upcoming years of MPC.
