# [Apparently, My Particular Brand of Weird Is Award-Nominated](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/apparently-my-particular-brand-of-weird-is-award-nominated)

 Written by [Danielle Price Griffin](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/author/danielle) | Nov 13, 2026, 8:00:01 PM

I’ve been nominated for the Innovator Award through [YMS B.O.L.D. Moves™ Experience](https://joinboldmoves.com/).

Which is a lovely surprise for someone whose working process sometimes involves a spreadsheet, an overly blunt conversation with my AI tools, and an entirely unnecessary capybara reference (see what I did there?)

At [Thoughts Brewing, LLC](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/en-us/home), Damien and I spend a lot of time asking questions about how work gets done. Why does this task take so long? Does this process still make sense? Could AI help here? And, occasionally, why did the automation create more work than it removed?

Some experiments have worked beautifully *(even mindblowing).* While others deserve a brief moment of silence as we switched them off.

That’s part of the work we do on a day-to-day basis. We test, question, adjust, and help business owners and teams make practical decisions about their operations and technology. We also share what we find through our [blog](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog) and [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@thoughtsbrewingllc) channel, including the parts that didn’t go according to the imaginary flawless plan.

Having someone nominate me for that work means a lot.

I’d appreciate your vote

Voting is open through November 30 at 11:59 p.m. EST. You can vote once per category, per day.

Find me under the Innovator Award, listed with Thoughts Brewing.
