Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Ouch! I had an inkling he was cooler than me, but seeing it in print is rough. Personally, I think it’s the ridiculous hair that did me in.
GOOD Magazine founder Ben Goldhirsh made the list too (it’s a terrific publication if you haven’t checked it out), along with 27 other pretty interesting people. Click here to read the full Inc. Magazine list.

Under 30? I feel sooooo old now…
Congratulations!

Will might be cooler, but Mangesh is prettier. Congratulations!

Well Kasee, you haven’t seen me from the nose down. In fact, people have often said “From the nose down, you’re much prettier than Mangesh.” Okay, maybe they haven’t said that.

Mangesh - sorry you ranked one step behind y’all’s magazine’s co-founder, but at least you both made the list!
I am not an impartial judge, though. Will’s great uncle Leo (deceased) and great aunt Eleanor were/are good friends of mine. In fact it was Eleanor who turned me on to your magazine - I found the web site on my own.
I think you have better hair too, for whatever that matters. :-)

Congratulations! I’m sure that the margin of cool between 22 and 23 is fairly slender. I had no idea how young you are! That means there is just more coolness ahead for many years.
Mangesh, your hair is precious.

OK, as a rule I don’t like to comment on looks and such, since I’m no oil painting myself. But I must say that Mangesh looks like a candidate for “America’s Next Top Model” in that photo. If you get inundated with emails from amorous females, don’t be surprised. The photogs set Will up in a more studious, business-like pose, while they shot you as a hunky, bon vivant-type.
Just my opinion, YMMV.

Ok, I had a friend who said that he knew both Mangesh and Will. I didn’t believe him but seeing as how y’all are from B’ham, it is entirely plausible. Who knew?

Wish they’d just have combined your sexy/coolness and gotten you both (naked) in the same bed. (Do the math: Subtract 22 from 23 and you’re #1 baby!)
Congrats, fellas. Guess the David Cassidy poster can come down now…it’s all you.

Congrats guys! At least you’ve got a cooler pose than him, with a MUCH better smile (not like you can actually see Will’s, hah!).

Congratulations guys!
Mango? You’re a number lower, but you got your name first. Not a bad trade-off.
And just to complete the picture, Will was doing a weird Gene Simmons tongue thing behind the cover of that magazine.
Okay, not really.
