“Setting aside the rest of the week to go through the 9000 people on this year's Forbes 30 Under 30” — Hunter Walk
Forbes released its annual “30 Under 30” list yesterday, highlighting 600 youngin's who promise to be the next generation of leaders. With such an exhaustive number of people featured, it takes a lot out of what makes the coveted list actually special — young people changing the world. 🌍
