Received the inaugural “e of the year” award yesterday for being “a constant rolemodel and innovator”. Hope i can live up to it the rest of my lifetime too!
When you’re working on your own in fields that quite often are ahead of mainstream perception of what’s important it feels very lonely and uphill at times. So it moved me quite a bit to receive recognition for my work which surprised me.
I dedicated the award to all the humans who are working at the edges of society creating new ideas, technology, culture, infrastructure for others to build on, values and shifts in perspectives because of their passion – who seldomly are around to get attention, money or awards for their big contributions.
Congratulations. You deserve it. Keep going!
Congratulation. It is clear statement from the “Establishment” that you have received this award.
Your ideas of products and processes are very advanced and futuristic in relation to the conventional/modern way of growing ICT businesses. We will be looking your way to see for fourth coming trends.
congratulations – always a pleasure when the award goes to someone who deserves it
Congrats, man! Well deserved.
If there was a formal request for a job as an entrepreneur it would probably say something like: “Must be able to live under serious loneliness”.
Congratulations on the journey and thanks for being ahead.
I agree on the establisment comment. I got a very happy and warm feeling that you finally got acknowledged from the establisment. Not only for the sake of the award – but for the sake that Thomas Madsen-Mygdal – the innovator, the thinker, the digital philosopher of our time – is one that everyone should listen too.
So a big warm-felt congrats from your longtime hardest critic
Love,
Niels…
Congratulations Thomas – you deserve it!
And thank you very much for sharing visions with me in Social Square.
Don’t compromise on passion – ever
Problem with this award is that timing and ambition are not matching. E.g. – nobody deserves this more than you Thomas, but with all the great things there’s still to come from you, what award can ever live up to that ambition level?
Cheers
Pat
[...] As Thomas points out being ahead can be very lonely activity. [...]
Congratualations! Sorry can’t attend Reboot this time. All the best!
Oh, congratulations. (Just saw this here.)
You have long served as our Prophet in the Desert. I hope this award really feels like true recognition.
Cheers, E of the Year.
