MANHATTAN — When the economy collapsed, Hamilton Colwell, a former JP Morgan investment banker, had an epiphany.

"I realized that my calling was not to save financial companies from ruin, but to make a difference in peoples' lives and diets," Colwell, 33, said.
That's when Colwell launched his yogurt company Maia — named for the Greek Goddess of Spring and Rebirth — out of the kitchen of his Upper East Side apartment.
He's now gearing up to stock his Greek-style yogurt, now made in Pennsylvania, in Manhattan's grocery and health food stores by mid-spring.
