After the list was out, Garcia, who is also Johnson’s former wife, took to Instagram to celebrate the achievement. “YAY!!!!!! And thank you to every #zoawarrior who put us on that list,” her Instagram story displayed. The list was topped by financial services company Ramp.

A few days ago, Johnson, Rienzi and Garcia sat with Forbes’ Jeff Conway to discuss the launch of their new offering- ZOA+ Powder. Marketed as “five-in-one advanced pre workout supplement”, it is priced at $49.99 for each 13 oz or 370 grams container. The powders are available in three different flavors- Wild Berry, Cherry Limeade and Fruit Punch.

Speaking about his product, Johnson said, “… it was a great opportunity for us to look at everything that’s on the market and see if there is a way that we could tweak and change the paradigm a little bit and create something that isn’t out there on the market.” He said having his own line of supplement allowed him to “control the formulation”.
