Horse Power Podcast Received "Official Honoree" Distinction for the 11th Annual Webby Awards

To receive the “Official Honoree” distinction for the Horse Power Podcast from the Webby Awards is admittedly flattering, and both Josk Kenzer and I are quite proud to be rewarded for the hard work.

But we definitely could not have done it without the trust of our CEO, David LaPlante, and the help of our fellow Horses - their feedback and assistance has been invaluable.

Winners were selected for recognition based on excellence in the following criteria: content, structure and navigation, visual design, functionality, interactivity and overall experience. You can read the official press release here. I definitely get a kick out of seeing us listed alongside The Associated Press, MTV Networks, and ESPN.

But whether we won an award or not, we have had so much fun doing it. I can’t tell you how enjoyable it has been to use the podcast series simply as an excuse to go out and meet new and interesting people.

There are so many dynamic, intelligent, and entertaining individuals out there doing incredible things with their minds and motivation, and it is fantastic to hear their stories and learn from their experience.

Additionally, Josh and I get to play citizen journalist and produce content that we feel is valuable and applicable to many of Twelve Horses’ clients, friends, and those that are in our blog and podcast syndicate.

I hope the show will continue to evolve, and, who knows, maybe go vodcast one of these days. Either way, it is a constant learning process, and when recording we are continuously working on getting better at improvising, following interesting tangents, and uncovering the emotion to make the podcast a more enjoyable listen.

So tune in the next time and happy listening!
