The Great Spanx Sex Experiment - The Cut
Ottway Ducard stashed this in America
Re-stashed in: Awesome, Sexy!, Sara Blakely
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/03/28/110328fa_fact_jacobsThis is a better piece for the founder's storyI loved the spanx sex story, but was surprised she didn't find it easier to find someone to get her kink on. Kids today!
Hmm; she struggled, a lot. She's the anti-silicon valley champion. Went to an average school. Worked as a clerk or something or the other for 8 years. Wanted (or did attend?) law school. Grinded her way to the top.
She's not ivy league. She's not a "hacker." She's a "she" and not a 20-something male.
We hear so many entrepreneur stories of people doing apps; it's great to hear the Spanx founder story or Chobani's or really inspiring grind-it-out 10-year arcs.
