Summary

Please note we recorded this remotely over a month ago in the height of the pandemic, some of the audio is spotty but the wisdom is real.

For Chase Fisher, Founder & CEO at Blenders Eyewear, COVID-19 redefined a crisis. What we thought was a crisis may not have been so bad. But more importantly, it helped us determine what was important in life. Get an inside look at how this founder coped with the pandemic, how it affected the business, and what he would do if he were president.

In Part 1, Chase discusses The disadvantages of having a product that isn't an Essential item, The advantages of being born online, The acquisition of Blenders, The Skillset that Chase is trying to improve, Why the value of being radically and uncomfortably transparent is critical, Why it's important to find a support group as a single founder, The skillset needed for new entrepreneurs, Advice for entrepreneurs, What Chase would do as President, and so much more.
