Never Pay More Than $150 For Glasses

May 13, 2014May 12, 2014

I’ve written about Warby Parker before.  This four-minute interview with its founders (once the silly banter ends) is just so upbeat.  A little company of bright, modest young idealists doing battle with the global monopolist — successfully! — cutting prices for people like me by two-thirds or more . . . even as they empower Third World entrepreneurs with free glasses to sell cheap to people living on less than $4 a day.  (That part didn’t make the video clip.)

I’m wearing mine now, even as I type.

Yay!
