The document discusses the origins and founder of Spanx, Sara Blakely. It notes that Sara Blakely held many unsuccessful jobs before founding Spanx, including trying out for Goofy at Disney World and failing the LSAT twice while trying to become a lawyer. While selling fax machines, she was uncomfortable wearing girdles and saw an opportunity to create a more comfortable undergarment. She utilized her creativity and took a risk by cutting the legs off of pantyhose to create the first Spanx prototype. Her willingness to take calculated risks and learn from failures contributed to her success in founding Spanx.
