Since we launched 40 Under 40 in 1989, our annual feature spotlighting local luminaries under the age of 40, no fewer than 1,000 up-and-comers from every walk of life have won the honor. Here, a few of them reflect on what they’ve learned.
And yes, that’s Oprah.
Chicago photographer and Crain’s contributor John R. Boehm told us a little about his portraits of a select group of our 40 Under 40 honorees.
