So, the 2023 XBIZ Exec Awards adult community nominees have been announced. These awards are for those folks who work in the business of the adult business. They are not the porn ‘talent’ that you watch regularly (oh, sorry, you don’t watch porn, my mistake), nor are they names that you’ll probably even recognize. But they are all hard-working, influential movers and shakers in the adult biz, nominated for a “…a range of success factors including business acumen, community standing, and overall leadership,” as XBIZ makes clear.
And one name stands out among the many, for Chris and I, a friend of our podcast, a past guest in fact, and a podcaster himself (as well as being the CEO of AdultSiteBroker) Bruce Friedman, nominated for Community Figure of the Year.
Bruce works out of and lives in Thailand, but I met him years ago at the Ynot convention, where I first met Chris. As Chris and I have mentioned, those Ynot conventions were an extraordinary confluence of adult business business folks, a really great meet-up in the equally great city of San Francisco.
Man, what a time we had.
And it was here that I first met Bruce, and luckily these many years on, we have kept in touch, or I should say we reconnected just recently, and I am thrilled about it. In our episode #36, we spoke with Bruce, and as I mentioned, he has had me on his Adult Site Broker Talk two times.
The XBIZ Exec Awards will be presented as part of the annual XBIZ Honors ceremonies, with the online industry edition of the awards set for Jan. 11 in conjunction with the XBIZ LA conference. The retail edition of the show presented three days later during the XBIZ Retreat.
There’s lots going on for XBIZ that week, per usual and surely the industry will be out in full force.
The voting is open for anyone to make their opinion known of who they think should win in each category (go here to vote).
Surely go vote for our friend Bruce Friedman.
