Jacques Rifkind

It took three tries for Jacques Rifkind to find his dream job. Then again, maybe that was always in the cards. “I wasn’t one of those people who grew up knowing exactly what they wanted to do,” he says. “It was a long period of finding my legs.” First came the...

Len Psyk

The Company Man Before he stepped onto the StairMaster at the gym, Len Psyk checked the wall chart for the heart rates of people exercising on it. His heart rate was that of a 45-year-old. “And I actually think I feel that way,” he says, relaying the story to me a...

Rachel Paine

Robert Bentley
