This is an awesome startup story about the woman who created the Spanx brand. She managed to take $5,000 of personal savings and build a business that would make her a billionaire. Obviously there's a lot wrong with our economic system on a structural level, and many elements of the "American Dream" are broken. Nevertheless, this woman's ability to build a business through creativity, intelligence, and sheer determination is pretty amazing.
