Ingram's puts together it's Kansas City POWER LIST of rising stars coming into their own for the annual issue that's eagerly anticipated by just about every professional in Kansas City.
Take a look:
Ingram's: 40 Under Forty
Lots of important peeps and movers and shakers dominate this list . . . Here are the folks we think deserve extra mention along with a very brief summary of their Kansas City achievements . . .
Jason Grill - Kansas City media dude extraordinaire and local champion of designer socks.
Leo Prieto - Honored by the Mexican government for his work and earned a leadership role at Truman Med Center - The place where even gunshot victims ask paramedics to steer away from . . .
John Hile - Former leader of provisionally accredited Kansas City Public Schools.
Alex Gordon - Multimillionaire baseball player with World Series cred that every other biz hopes to capitalize upon . . .
Derrick Johnson - Footballer from the home town Chiefs who won their first playoff game after a drought of nearly a generation.
Not sure how many jobs these folks create but they're more successful than most local denizens and make for nice cover models.
You decide . . .
God Help Us All
ReplyDeleteCorporate Monsters
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Ingrams was still publishing.
ReplyDeleteAnd with this kind of crap, it's surprising that they are.
This used to be the "Thirty Under Thirty" list.
Go back a few years, get the names, and check where they are today.
Vanished!
Even in an age where it's fashionable to make believe your're famous for being well-known on Twitter.
Jesus, corporate climbers, kids with rich daddies and self-important douchebags all. No wonder KCMO is in the toilet.
ReplyDeleteBarely out of day care and they think they have Power? Pffft! A little corporate downsizing will put everything in perspective in no time.
ReplyDeleteHow's sucking up to these people working out for you Tony?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Jason Grill hasn't at least offered Tony a job sewing socks part time.
ReplyDeleteOne black guy in the whole bunch? I'll take a wild guess. He's part of the nepotism bunch. I don't even have to read the article.
ReplyDeleteThey will all remain steadfast in their support of their Wahhabi petrodollar overlords
ReplyDeleteLet the commoner's have their trinkets and baubles.
ReplyDeleteThese people are the real leader of KC. They contribute to our local economy and they don't just leave nasty comments on blogs. The deserve to be celebrated and not ironically by some blogger.
ReplyDeleteThey make KC better, blog comments do not!
Pro athletes? Seriously? Must be slim pickings this year.
ReplyDeleteOf course, they all look like your typical JoCo douche bag/twat--or the overachiever you always hated in school.

This should be called "KC's Biggest Douchebags Under 40."
ReplyDeleteWhy are they all dressed and situated to look like a shitty high school photo? I know we're used to this garbage but this is what makes KC look like a dinky little shit town.
ReplyDeleteMany are happy for 'em, not hatin' whatsoever. Thankfully, the privelaged share this wealth locally. Lux lifestyles pay large taxes and insurance for upscaled homes. The fine rides of all types, two wheeled or even wave toys to go with the vacay places spread revenues. There's the usual businesses and service providers getting paychecks--housecleaners, lawncare, pool maintenance, salons, spas, pet pampering, kiddies' coddling, dining, shopping, carwashers, agents, accountants, and likely more.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget their endowments to causes. Plus, most
are generous to their families, friends and faith
communities. Good on 'em, God bless 'em!
@1033: It's a jealousy thing.
ReplyDeleteMore often than not.
10:33! This is your brain on bullshit!
ReplyDeleteWhat they all have in common is they understand the art of evasion.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't Tony on this list?
ReplyDeleteDat's some white mutha fuckas.
ReplyDeleteDey have Sambo in dare to shine dey shoes.
-These people are the real leader of KC. -
ReplyDeleteNot really. As a photographer I used to shoot these "features" every now and then. It was always some people the editor knew, and was fairly certain they would show up at the photo shoot. Absolutely nothing scientific about the process.
byron ,tony isn't on there because of the blog he has.
ReplyDeletehe's not on there because he provides this place for us to say whatever the fuck we want to say.
i think that he sacrifices a lot ,having the balls to keep doing what he's doing,probably misses a lot of opportunities.
i, for one, and you as well ,should be very grateful for this whacky -ass place.
You gotta be fucking kidding^
ReplyDeleteOpportunities?
This is the last refuge for someone who has nothing to add.
Go vote Trump and come back and bitch in November.
Poster boy for predictable. But cut and paste does take a certain knack.
Some really shitty off-the -rack suits in that group.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that these young hardchargers would have learned that value of a good tailor.
Have the black folk been sent back to the plantation except one?
ReplyDelete@5:04 probably has been reading this blog every day for years.
ReplyDelete^^^ you know he has.
ReplyDeleteByron doesn't have $40.00 dollars. Anytime, anywhere Byron.
ReplyDeleteYep, they had to have at least one NIGGER so they go to the football players to find one with a buck. Pitiful
