Best of Miami spotlights 40 Achievers, 40 future Achievers

This keepsake edition marks the start of Miami Today’s 40th year of serving this community by turning for vision to 40 persons selected from our more than 2,000 front-page Achiever interviews. Most of them in turn have selected younger Achievers of the future to add their perspectives.

A Best of Miami edition published on each of Miami Today’s birthdays has provided us a systematic focus on achievement in multiple areas of this growing global community. This year each of the 40 interviews of past Achievers focuses on a single topic, with the chosen younger person offering a outlook on the topic.

Taken together, these 80 interviews show the faces of a great community still in the process of being formed with a unique perspective on past, present and future. There are many nuggets of wisdom here.

Those of us at Miami Today take pride in Miami’s accomplishments and heed the advice and warnings that some of these Achievers offer us as a metropolis known around the globe heads into its next phases.

Miami Today was created to link together those involved in an ever-more-global region, providing needed information that cannot be found elsewhere for their business and personal lives. The emphasis into our 40th year has been on making connections using reliable, impartial and important content.

In a world where newspapers have become far fewer and where many people are questioning the validity of news content, we are proud to display the importance of an independent media organization that in both print and digital formats presents purposefully gathered and professionally edited community-building information.

Stay with us on the journey as the Best of Miami continues to get better.

Michael Lewis, Carmen Betancourt-Lewis and the entire Miami Today team
