2016 HHI Awards Episode 1

Published: Dec. 15, 2016, 4:43 p.m.

Here we are somehow, magically, one year since the last Half Hour Intern awards. 2016 was the first full year of Half Hour Intern and it was full of ups and downs (many more ups) that I will never forget. Among other things the show was featured on iTunes, NPR, & CBC, listeners started supporting the show on Patreon, we got over 100 iTunes reviews, and starting this month the show is partnered with Virgin Airlines and will be on every flight in North America for the next six months. Perhaps more importantly, I’ve made over 100 new relationships and learned countless lessons from the last year of the show. And, as I said last year, none of these people are famous or doing what they are doing for any other reason than that is just the bad-ass type of person they are. It is the perfect reminder of the greatness we can achieve and the amazingness that exists in the world around us at all times. Knowing that Pascale Vermont (grief counselor) is volunteering her time with people that are dying is such a beautiful thing. Knowing that Dr. Noah Kaufman is a rock climbing American Ninja Warrior in addition to being a great father and a full time Emergency Room physician is the true definition of humbling. Knowing that Carin Ryan left her career and went out on a limb to become a flight attendant in her late 30’s (and she is loving it!) is truly inspirational. I am so profoundly honored that you all have continued to listen and give me a reason to continue this. I promise that I will continue to learn and grow and make the show better and better with each passing episode.
