Business of the Week: The Granola Kid (a.k.a. Zamaan Jivraj) 

We’re celebrating an incredible entrepreneur who proves that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible! Meet Zamaan Jivraj also known as The Granola Kid. From the very start of his life, Liam faced health challenges, but his parents instilled in him the belief that no obstacle could stand in the way of his dreams. That mindset, combined with his love for healthy eating, led him to create The Granola Kid—a business dedicated to making the most nutritious and delicious granola out there. 

At The Granola Kid, it’s all about starting your journey with the right fuel—granola made with real ingredients you can actually pronounce! Whether you eat it for breakfast or take it on the go as a snack, Liam’s granola is made to help you power through your day. His message is simple: he provides nutrition, and you bring the determination—together, we can all achieve our goals.
