I’ve been decorated with titles before… Canada’s Best Male Social Blazr, Top 5 Toronto Twitter Influencer, Top 5 Blogger in Toronto, #62 Comedy Podcast in Canada, Top 4 Business Plan Writer in Ontario, and a ton of other rankings. Well I have one more to add to the list!
I came in second place yesterday in the BiLLe, Best Blogger in Canada… which means I won a silver medal in Blogging in Canada! A pretty incredible accomplishment if I do say so myself. Here’s a photo of me accepting the silver medal award!
Yes, after a month of effort, time, nerves, anxiety, and putting together some magic… magic I would have continued to deliver, I was not picked as best in Canada. But a silver medal is pretty awesome anyway.
Quite frankly, I don’t think they made the right decision. But maybe I’m slightly biased (THOUGH I had my friends at some social analytic companies run the numbers, and the results are incredible… If you match up our social media stats, blog readers in Canada, true engaged follower counts and about a dozen other metrics… I’m better in all but one category). But whatever, what’s done is done. And the decision is final.
I’m happy with the title of Second Best Blogger in Canada and look forward to the next thing in my life… something bigger and better! If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that every time I have a set back, I stand up again and move faster than I did before.
So thank you to all who supported me, all who were rooting for me, sending positive vibes, well wishes, good lucks and everything in between… Your support is truly appreciated and you have my unending thank you for everything.
PS. Yes this blog post was just an excuse to share that photo I created. Haha.

@jkozuch Haha I am proud. I was upset yesterday, it wasn't fun walking away with nothing... but a day later, I feel great. :)And yeah, I did a pretty good job of fusing our faces haha. I managed to sync our hair styles, added my sideburns and match skin tone haha.
