In the past two decades, the number of people we collectively draw inspiration from has grown exponentially with the expansion of the internet and the invention—and explosion—of social media. Social platforms have not only radically changed the way we present ourselves, but they’ve also completely revolutionized and democratized the way we promote our projects, our brands and, most importantly, our values. Over the last few years, we’ve found ourselves learning about innumerable people doing incredible things all around the world, from creating innovative new products to expanding inclusivity and diversity in their fields. And with the emergence of platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, it seems there are more influential people coming into the limelight with every passing week.
