Jason Osborn and Jason Wright turned Feed Granola into a hot brand and a household name in less than two years. With shelf space in Whole Food stores, several nods as Rachael Ray’s “Snack of the Day", and a vote by Inc.com as one of America’s Coolest Young Entrepreneurs, the two models turned business partners are well on their way.

Thanks to Spanx, the girdle got an update in 1998 when founder Sara Blakely was “completely horrified by what was out there” while shopping for a body shaper to wear under a pair of form-fitting pants.  Ten years later, Atlanta-based Spanx has helped millions of women feel a size smaller and made $350 million in retail sales along the way.
