This week, Boston Magazine published its list of the “150 Most Influential Bostonians.”

Covering an extensive array of personalities and professions from media and sports to finance and entertainment, as David Bernstein wrote in the article’s intro , everyone on the list is “playing a part in shaping a new and vibrant Boston.”

There are plenty of notable figures who made the cut, including Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, Mayor Michelle Wu, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Ayo Edebiri, and Lyons Group owner Patrick Lyons.

You can view the full list here , but it got us thinking: Who is an influential Bostonian to you who didn’t make the list? This could be a friendly neighbor, your best friend, or even a local shop owner.

Let us know , and we may include your response in a future newsletter.
