Chase Fisher is the founder of Blenders Eyewear, a company he bootstrapped to success and that was acquired by the second biggest eyewear company in the world for $90 million in 2020. It's an inspiring story of how Chase overcame his childhood struggles with learning in the classroom with his scrappiness, incredible work ethic, creativity, and desire to win. Blenders Eyewear makes sunglasses, snow goggles, and perscription eyeglasses and is based in San Diego- just a couple blocks off PCH.

Blenders Eyewear: Chase Fisher

When you Google Chase Fisher, the CEO &amp; Founder of Blenders Eyewear, you’ll see headlines touting a guy who turned a $2,000 loan into a $90 million dollar ecommerce brand. But Chase’s story goes way beyond those headlines. In my opinion, his thinking around ad strategies, supply chain, partial acquisitions, and more is more interesting and valuable to anyone who is looking for more than just a feel-good story. Chase got into all of those topics on this episode of Up Next in Commerce, and he took us behind the scenes of his supposed Cinderella story to tell us that it was much harder than it looked. Plus, we even touched on whether we’ll be seeing some Blenders glasses in the metaverse any time soon. Enjoy the episode!Main Takeaways:You Only Fail When You StopThroughout the life of a business, there will be hard and humbling moments and the thought of quitting will run through your mind. But you only fail when you stop trying. If you keep moving forward and pushing toward your goal, you will find your way, even if it’s not what you expect it to be.Why Should DTC Brands Go Into Retail?According to Chase, “When you're are an online brand, you need a living and breathing footprint. And so, I believe retail is going to be the next huge wave and I'm really excited about that.”Should You Make a Big Bet on TV?In short, the answer is probably yes. With ad performance, social platforms like Facebook diminishing, and as digital channels get more crowded, it’s becoming harder to win consistently. On TV, you can have bigger returns, but you have to be willing to plan, produce, and invest for the long-term if you go the TV route.For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

Veteran State of Mind Episode 068: Life In Forward Motion, with Chase Fisher

Blenders Eyewear was founded in 2012 by Chase Fisher. The idea spawned when Chase went to see one of his favorite DJs at a Downtown San Diego nightclub. His neon green “beater” sunglasses received an overwhelmingly positive response, and what started out as a night full of close friends and good music quickly escalated into a full-fledged obsession with sunglasses. After further research Chase learned that one company lords over approximately 80% of the global sunglasses market, he knew it was a broken system begging for disruption. And disrupt he did. Chase believes in the hustle, he started a grassroots effort buoyed by social media and his SDSU network, selling shades out of his backpack while doubling as a surf coach during the company’s first year. He leveraged his background as a sponsored athlete (surfing, snowboarding) to develop sunnies with scintillating style and adventurous spirit—the visual embodiment of the company’s "live in forward motion" maxim. It’s been this steadfast self-determination—and the combined efforts of the San Diego-based company’s 32-person team—that’s established Blenders as one of America’s fastest-growing sunglasses brands today. In addition, Blenders worked with Direct Relief to produce 30,000 pairs of safety goggles to help fill the shortages. These goggles were supplied to regional and state hospitals that were hit the hardest. In the month of April, a portion of all proceeds were donated to Direct Relief to support their cause. Our goal was to raise $100,000. And with your help, Blenders reached their goal! You can check out his website at blenderseyewear.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
