Description

Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, Warby Parker co-founders and co-CEOs Neil Blumenthal and Dave Gilboa join CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger to discuss revolutionizing the way we shop for glasses, while building a billion-dollar company. They share how they founded the company in 2010 with two other classmates at the Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania and why they all decided to risk their life savings to make it happen. They explain the literary characters that inspired the name Warby Parker, why they donate a pair of glasses for every pair sold, and why they aren't rushing to take the company public.
