Jill on Money Radio Show: Your Money Questions Answered

The last weekend before Thanksgiving, and to be honest, it doesn’t really feel like the holiday season, at least not to me. Nothing about this year has felt normal.

One thing that has remained the same, is taking questions and calls from you guys, so here we go!

Warby Parker was founded with a rebellious spirit and a lofty objective: to offer designer eyewear at a revolutionary price, while leading the way for socially conscious businesses.

Earlier in the year, pre-pandemic, we were lucky enough to have two of the founders, Neil Blumenthal and Dave Gilboa, with us in-studio.

By circumventing traditional channels, designing glasses in-house, and engaging with customers directly, Warby Parker is able to provide higher-quality, better-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the going price.

The team believes that buying glasses should be easy and fun. It should leave you happy and good-looking, with money in your pocket.

They also believe that everyone has the right to see.

Almost one billion people worldwide lack access to glasses, which means that 15% of the world’s population cannot effectively learn or work. 

To help address this problem, Warby Parker partners with nonprofits like VisionSpring to ensure that for every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need.
