Charles Brun is a French entrepreneur who co-founded the eyewear brand IZIPIZI in Paris in 2010 alongside his longtime friends Xavier Aguera and Quentin Couturier. The three founders saw that the standard reading glasses sold at drugstores lacked style, and they set out to prove that readers could be something people actually wanted to wear. That instinct paid off. Today, IZIPIZI is known for colorful, affordable, design-driven glasses made for everyday life.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:00] Intro[01:12] Glasses for every moment in life[01:42] An idea born from their moms' ugly readers[02:59] From incubator to the real launch in 2012[04:05] Landing Colette as the first wholesale yes[05:16] Klaviyo[07:25] How the first yes opens every other door[08:14] Building a partnership between three friends[10:10] The Friday wheel that decides who speaks first[11:06] Intelligems[12:32] When ecommerce entered the picture[13:45] Why wholesale alone wasn't enough[14:19] Wholesale partner pushback on selling online[15:15] COVID pushed online sales to 95%[16:30] eFulfillment Service[17:45] Expanding from Paris into the US[18:28] Why the US is more different than it seems[19:25] Buying back the US distributor[20:05] Hiring an American team to win the US[20:48] What Shoptalk Europe brands ask about the US[21:55] Why IZIPIZI launched on Amazon in the US[22:26] Amazon as a necessary evil for brands[23:19] Making the .com work in the States[23:41] Moving from Magento to Shopify[24:05] Virtual try-on for the first pair[24:50] Unifying customers across every channel[25:24] A customer is a customer, wherever they buy[26:05] Affordable glasses as an impulse buy[26:46] Becoming B Corp certified[27:50] Why the IZIPIZI name sticks[28:43] Where to find IZIPIZI[30:12] Final thoughtsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeFashion and design glasses for adult and children izipizi.com Follow Charles Brun linkedin.com/in/cbrun/ Book a demo today at intelligems.io/ Get your free demo klaviyo.com/honestLower scale costs today efulfillmentservice.com/honest If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Practical Magic 2 is finally here... and apparently, so is Practical Magic EVERYTHING.Tequila. Makeup. Eyewear. Home decor. Clothing. Tea. Lip balm. Frozen yogurt. Pizza?! After nearly 30 years of fans having very little official merchandise to choose from, the arrival of PM2 has unleashed a seemingly endless stream of brand collaborations.And after listeners, journalists, and fellow creators kept asking us the same question, we finally decided it was time to talk about it:What do The Stinas actually think of the PM2 collab craze?We're digging into the official collaborations that completely understood the assignment, the ones that surprised us, and the ones that left us wondering what exactly they have to do with Practical Magic. More importantly, we're asking a bigger question: What actually makes something feel like Practical Magic?Because long before Practical Magic became a marketplace, the fandom was making the magic itself.For decades, artists, candle makers, writers, herbalists, jewelry makers, DIYers, and wonderfully witchy small businesses created the things that didn't officially exist. So while the Owens universe is having its very big, very shiny commercial moment, we're also turning the spotlight toward some of the creators who were already here.We're joined by Kate of Hearth Witch Home Co. to explore what Practical Magic actually smells like, and Gina Luker of The Shabby Creek Cottage and Illumine Magazine to talk about bringing the feeling of Practical Magic into our homes, gardens, rituals, and everyday lives.And ultimately, we're asking: if the fans helped keep Practical Magic alive long enough for this moment to happen, should more of those fans and creators have had a seat at the table when Practical Magic became big business?It's complicated. It's a little cheeky. And yes... we bought some of the merch too.So pour yourself a Midnight Margarita and join us as we attempt to answer the question:Can you really bottle Practical Magic?SOCIALS:Link TreePatreonInstagramSourcesDISCLAIMER:The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

Israeli prosecutors have charged a settler accused of killing Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen in the occupied West Bank. His cousin says that's a relief, but the violence is far from over. A Quebec psychiatrist explains why he's joining the push for the appointment of a dedicated mental health minister before the province's upcoming fall election. The on-the-job death of an Alberta firefighter leads to workplace safety violation charges against the province — and a union leader welcomes the message that sends. The lead paddler for Carcross/Tagish First Nation describes the healing power of canoeing through the Yukon wilderness for nine days, to arrive at a momentous cultural celebration.

Key Takeaways Smart eyewear in eye care is creating new opportunities for optometry practices, but according to the team at For the Record, success depends less on the technology itself and more on how practices communicate its value to patients. In this episode, Tyler Kemp sat down with Cole Currie, Erica McDonald, and Alyvia Mirosh […]
Smart eyewear is rapidly emerging as one of the most impactful innovations in optometry, combining AI-powered connectivity, accessibility, and everyday convenience into a single wearable solution. No longer just a tech gadget, smart eyewear helps patients reduce screen time, enhance communication through features like live translation and audio assistance, and improve independence for those with low vision. For optometrists and optical teams, this category represents a major opportunity to elevate patient experience, personalize recommendations, and drive practice growth by focusing on real-world applications rather than features.

by Robert Riggs This episode is about the standoff with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and the threat of its drone attack to the global economy. And I know what some of you may be wondering. What does Iran have to do with a true crime podcast? My answer is simple. For more than forty years, the Iranian regime has been linked to the killing of Americans, sometimes directly, sometimes through proxies, and often with little lasting consequence. This is not an abstract foreign policy debate for me. During my thirty years in television news, I saw the human cost of that shadow war up close. I covered the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, where 241 American service members were killed in 1983. Federal court records have described Hezbollah as the perpetrator and Iran as a source of political, financial, and operational support tied to the attack. I was an embedded reporter during the invasion of Iraq, where American troops faced roadside bombs and armor-piercing explosives supplied or supported by Iranian networks. In more than a dozen attacks, Iran has killed Americans without putting Iranian soldiers in the fight. It used terror groups, militias, mines, missiles, and now drones. When a regime uses proxies to kill Americans and destabilize the world, that is not merely geopolitics. It is state-sponsored crime. The world is focused on the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow strip of water off Iran's coast where the global oil supply and American military power now face one of the most dangerous choke points on earth. To help understand what this conflict means now, I turned to retired Army Colonel John Antal, a 30-year veteran soldier, historian, leadership expert, and best-selling author. Antal is here to help us see the battlefield clearly.

In this candid conversation, Joseph Croft pulls back the curtain on how Gunnar Optiks emerged from clinical research rather than marketing hype. He describes how early collaboration with optometric researchers highlighted the real drivers of digital eye strain—dramatic reductions in blink rate, tear film evaporation, accommodative lag after prolonged screen use, and loss of contrast—long before “blue light glasses” became a consumer buzzword. Croft explains the engineering decisions behind Gunnar's high-base, close-fit lens geometry designed to improve the micro-environment around the eye, and the rationale for incorporating a small +0.25D boost to offset accommodative drift seen after hours of near work.The discussion is highly relevant to everyday practice, focusing on how ECPs can approach screen-related complaints with the same task-specific mindset used for sports or occupational eyewear. Croft challenges fear-based blue light messaging and instead frames digital lenses as tools for comfort, contrast, and performance. He also shares how many undiagnosed refractive patients are uncovered when they trial low-plus lenses, reinforcing the role of comprehensive exams. Throughout the episode, the emphasis remains on partnership with optometry—using clinical evaluation first, then positioning digital eyewear as a complementary solution rather than a shortcut around professional care.5 Key TakeawaysDigital eye strain is multifactorial. Symptoms stem from blink suppression, tear evaporation, accommodative fatigue, glare, and contrast loss—not simply from “too much blue light.”Frame design can influence ocular comfort. A closer, higher-base fit may help stabilize the tear film by increasing humidity around the eye, similar in concept to moisture-chamber strategies used in dry-eye management.Small plus power can have a big clinical impact. A +0.25D add aligns with research on accommodative lag and mirrors what many ODs already prescribe through anti-fatigue or low-plus computer Rxs.Digital eyewear should be positioned as task-specific equipment. Just as patients accept different glasses for driving or sports, screen use warrants its own optical solution integrated into the exam and dispensing workflow.ECPs remain central to the process.Proper screening for refractive error, binocular vision, and ocular surface disease should come first—digital lenses are meant to support, not replace, comprehensive care.Memorable Quotes“I hate the term blue light glasses. It's a disservice to consumers and to optometry—blue light isn't the enemy; context is.”“You can't run a marathon in loafers. Eyewear should be task-specific just like footwear.”“We're here to help in a massive epidemic of digital eye strain, not just sell another pair of glasses.”Learn more about Gunnar Optiks:Gunnar.comConnect with Joe Croft:Joe@Gunnar.comLove the show?

In 'A Four-Eyed World: How Glasses Changed the Way We See,' David King Dunaway offers the first cultural history of eyewear, tracing how lenses have shaped science, society, media, and our very notions of sight. Far from a niche topic, this book mixes fascinating historical episodes, cultural analysis, and Dunaway's own reflections on living with and without his glasses, revealing the deep ways eyewear has altered how we see ourselves and each other.

He describes how early collaboration with optometric researchers highlighted the real drivers of digital eye strain—dramatic reductions in blink rate, tear film evaporation, accommodative lag after prolonged screen use, and loss of contrast—long before “blue light glasses” became a consumer buzzword. Croft explains the engineering decisions behind Gunnar's high-base, close-fit lens geometry designed to improve the micro-environment around the eye, and the rationale for incorporating a small +0.25D boost to offset accommodative drift seen after hours of near work.The discussion is highly relevant to everyday practice, focusing on how ECPs can approach screen-related complaints with the same task-specific mindset used for sports or occupational eyewear. Croft challenges fear-based blue light messaging and instead frames digital lenses as tools for comfort, contrast, and performance. He also shares how many undiagnosed refractive patients are uncovered when they trial low-plus lenses, reinforcing the role of comprehensive exams. Throughout the episode, the emphasis remains on partnership with optometry—using clinical evaluation first, then positioning digital eyewear as a complementary solution rather than a shortcut around professional care.5 Key TakeawaysDigital eye strain is multifactorial. Symptoms stem from blink suppression, tear evaporation, accommodative fatigue, glare, and contrast loss—not simply from “too much blue light.”Frame design can influence ocular comfort. A closer, higher-base fit may help stabilize the tear film by increasing humidity around the eye, similar in concept to moisture-chamber strategies used in dry-eye management.Small plus power can have a big clinical impact. A +0.25D add aligns with research on accommodative lag and mirrors what many ODs already prescribe through anti-fatigue or low-plus computer Rxs.Digital eyewear should be positioned as task-specific equipment. Just as patients accept different glasses for driving or sports, screen use warrants its own optical solution integrated into the exam and dispensing workflow.ECPs remain central to the process.Proper screening for refractive error, binocular vision, and ocular surface disease should come first—digital lenses are meant to support, not replace, comprehensive care.Memorable Quotes“I hate the term blue light glasses. It's a disservice to consumers and to optometry—blue light isn't the enemy; context is.”“You can't run a marathon in loafers. Eyewear should be task-specific just like footwear.”“We're here to help in a massive epidemic of digital eye strain, not just sell another pair of glasses.”Learn more about Gunnar Optiks:Gunnar.comConnect with Joe Croft:Joe@Gunnar.comLove the show?
