Reviving Giants Named Bronze Winner at the 2026 Telly Awards
MACCO Group is proud to announce that Reviving Giants — the podcast series hosted by founder and CEO Drew McManigle — has been named a Bronze Winner in the Online – Interview & Talk Show category at the 2026 Telly Awards.
Produced by Speakerbox Media and presented by MACCO Group, the series competed against more than 13,000 entries from around the globe — including productions backed by major media companies and entertainment brands. Gold honors in the same category went to Michelle Obama Reveals All, a production by Life is Love, LLC — a measure of the field Reviving Giants was evaluated against.
Reviving Giants takes listeners inside the boardrooms, courtrooms, and crisis moments that define restructuring, turnaround, and distressed investing. Hosted by veteran turnaround professional Drew McManigle, the series features candid conversations with judges, attorneys, operators, advisors, and business leaders whose firsthand experiences helped shape the modern restructuring world. Recent episodes have explored the Texas oil crash of the 1980s, the evolution of Chapter 11 practice, distressed M&A, and the operational realities behind major corporate restructurings.
Now in its 47th year, the Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens. Winners are selected by a judging council of more than 250 industry leaders from television networks, streaming platforms, production companies, and creative agencies. Past honorees include HBO, Paramount, National Geographic Society, NASA, CNN, Netflix, The Smithsonian Museum of National History, and many more.
For MACCO Group, the recognition affirms what Reviving Giants has been building toward: a credible media and thought leadership platform capable of competing well beyond the restructuring profession.
“I've spent decades in distressed business boardrooms and bankruptcy courts, working alongside or watching some of the most experienced professionals in the restructuring industry. I’ve also seen the real human costs endured by both the professionals and their clients that occur when businesses fail,” Drew says. “Reviving Giants was my way of making sure those experiences didn't stay in the room. This Telly recognition is not only surprising but also humbling and very much appreciated. It's great fuel to keep going!”
In an environment increasingly dominated by surface-level business content, the award offers meaningful validation of the quality of production and the caliber of voices the series has assembled.
