From selling fax machines to revolutionizing fashion, the story of Sara Blakely and Spanx is legend. Once a 27-year-old with a dream and $5,000, Sara turned her pantyhose hack into a billion-dollar empire.

Spanx isn't just about comfort; it's a testament to vision, perseverance, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
