What is up everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and CEO of Morning Brew coming to you with another episode of The Founders Journal, My Daily Audio Diary, made public for the world, where I talk about the most impactful moments, wins, losses, and thoughts behind the scenes at Morning Brew.

As always I am joined by my co-pilot Mr. Kaplan, who's rocking the facial hair like me.

And today we are talking about a recent accolade that I received and my reaction to that

accolade. Let's go.

40 under 40 for adding. my reaction to that accolade. Let's go.

40 under 40 for ad age.

Congratulations. Let me be the not first person to congratulate you.

Probably not the last, but that's pretty awesome.

Thank you. 30 under 30, now you got 40 under 40. I was saying that I'm

pissed that I didn't get the the 10 under 10 when I was a little boy I was pissed that I wasn't considered a media maven under 10.

No I appreciate it. It's a cool little thing to add to you know the the resume so what is it actually? So it's at age

for does 40 under 40 I don't know if they do multiple categories this was for

media and marketing.

So it's 40 people under 40 or working in media marketing.

You had to be nominated for it, found out like, you know,

recently that I got it, and then they published it yesterday, I believe, and got reached out to by a number of people.

And yeah, again, like, I am generally not a super reactive person.

So I definitely didn't throw a party for this just like I didn't throw a party for 30 under 30.

But no, it's just a cool thing to have. And it's cool to be recognized for the work

that we're all doing.

Yeah, I completely agree.

Where is this fall on the type of validation
