Summary

Description

Jonas Paul Eyewear is a socially responsible provider of glasses for kids and teens.

In this episode, we learn that the Harrisons already had two design-oriented startups underway when their son Jonas Paul was born with Peter’s Anomaly, a rare disorder that causes blindness.

Their journey with Jonas Paul through his twenty-one surgeries introduced them to new communities and new challenges. They decided to start the company to provide reasonably priced, stylish glasses to kids and teens, and they direct a portion of each sale to prevent childhood blindness around the world.

Ben, Laura, and Andy discuss the testing and refining of their faith through the birth and early childhood of Jonas Paul (and the company); the magic of little sisters; childhood bullying; and the joyful burden of starting something that provides a living for others.
