LinkedIn released on Tuesday its annual Next Wave list of game-changing professionals from finance to entertainment and everywhere inbetween -- and the honorees all have a few things in common.

The list, which celebrates the companies and people making a sizable impact on the business world, is driven by LinkedIn data based on interactions, activity and editorial insights.

For those hoping to nab a spot next year, note that honorees all value sustainability and maintain a strong network -- 25 times more connections than the average LinkedIn user.

Plus, 63 percent of honorees don't have an Ivy League education and 60 percent didn't attend graduate school.
