The Champion’s Mojo podcast won three awards in 2022. #Powerjournalist Markos Papadatos has the scoop.
The Champion’s Mojo Podcast is co-hosted by Kelly Palace and Maria Parker. It is in its fourth year of interviewing top-tier champions in a range of categories including Olympic and Pro Athletes; NCAA & Olympic Coaches; Masters Athletes and Coaches; Authors, Speakers, and Performance Coaches; Health and Wellness Experts & Champions; Champions Behind their Business; Change Makers, Entertainers, and Journalists.
Champion’s Mojo has been honored with two W3 Silver Awards, one for Best Co-Hosts and the other for a best single podcast for the show Open Water Swimmer Survives 9-foot Alligator Attack.
Kelly Palace and Maria Parker, who are both world-record-setting masters athletes, authors, and performance coaches, have great chemistry and experiences as co-hosts.
“Winning these awards is such an honor! We know our guests have great stories to tell and we are glad the judges see the impact.” Palace said.
Maria Parker added, “To me, it’s fantastic to get the Best Co-Hosts nod, I guess we are having so much fun being co-hosts that it shines through to the listeners”.
Each week on their show they explore what makes a champion in sports, but most importantly in life, through thought-provoking interviews, fun quizzes, and unique perspectives.
