Fred Grazzini: A green smoothie, a bike and a song

October 25, 2012 12:00 AM

After arriving, he steps into his office and sips his homemade green smoothie, opens Cougar Creations and preps for the day. It is now 7:50 a.m., and BYU student employees start to file through the door as he greets them by name and asks, 'How are ya today?' That is probably one reason the student employees at Cougar Creations consider him to be 'the best boss in the world.'
