My Top 10 Favorite Brands of 2011

There were many in contention...but these rise to the top in my eyes:

1. The Masters - Live from Augusta. It's even better when you are live at Augusta. Thank you God! 
2. Twitter - A mesmerizing tool for communication, information, branding and connecting.  
3. P90X - The days of wasting time and money at the gym are over. Hard work, lots of fun. 
4. Wounded Warrior Project - We've come a long way since Vietnam. This is where you find true heroes. 
5. Forward Motion - An emerging small business specializing in helping you take control of your career. 
6. Tim Tebow - A mix of faith, integrity, athleticism and work ethic. It's why he stands out. 
7. Vail, Colorado - I'll skip ski season...but in the summer there are few places better.  
8. Seth Godin - marketing and business genius. Thank you for letting us be part of your world. 
9. Southwest Airlines - A large brand with a great personality. Defying the odds in a challenged industry. 
10. David Feherty - Golf announcer, ambassador, humorist, role model. Makes me proud to be a golfer. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
