Editor's Note

Leadership is Influence. Nothing More. Nothing Less.
My dream is to live in a community surrounded by individuals who fully recognize their ability to positively influence others, demonstrating leadership through their words and actions. I want to collaborate with people who employ their unique ability to make a difference and show great resolve when facing challenging situations. I desire to engage in conversations that explore new possibilities and be among those who expand our belief in what is possible. I believe that each of us, when we show up as the best version of ourselves, is a catalyst to inspire others to give their best.

It's with great pleasure that I introduce this year’s Top 10 Under 40 winners. These individuals, each leading in their own unique way, are a true inspiration. I am grateful for their contribution to our community.

  • Erik Martin
  • Esly Ovando-Quinonez
  • JoBeth Gomez
  • Kayla Kellen
  • Rachel Carlson
  • Shelby Hagerdon
  • Sidney Marks
  • Skyler Gorsett
  • Todd Fiegen
  • Valeo Khan-Snyder

In the following pages, you'll learn about how they are making an impact. I encourage you to reach out to them and show your support. Is there an introduction you can make or resources you can provide? Your engagement can accelerate their momentum.

Finally, I invite you to attend the John Maxwell Live2Lead event, on October 11th. This is an exceptional leadership development experience. Let’s invest in our community by investing in our people. Sponsor the event and bring your team. Buy a ticket to gift to a young professional. Come yourself, knowing your success is our success. ❤️Siouxland

I hope you’ll join us!

Again, congratulations to this year’s winners!
