"In this episode, Aaron sits down with Bryan and Bradford Manning, co-founders of Two Blind Brothers, for a powerful and heartfelt conversation recorded live at the 2025 Vision Source Exchange in Denver, CO. The brothers share their journey of building a purpose-driven brand rooted in empathy, innovation, and the mission to cure blindness. We talk about the launch of the 2BB eyewear collection in collaboration with L’Amy America, designed to “feel the difference” through quality, comfort, and a tactile experience.

The 2BB line is now part of Vision Source’s Frame Dream program, an initiative aimed at optimizing board management, improving capture rate, and streamlining optical operations for independent practices. Aaron shares how his own practice is seeing real benefits from the program. If you’re interested in the intersection of philanthropy, design, and independent optometry—this one’s for you.
