Crown Wood Eyewear features exclusivity and quality. Our materials are top of the line because we believe the only way to create a quality product is with honesty.

MO: What inspired you to launch your business?

Adam: I was inspired by past college professors to launch Crown Wood Eyewear. Day after day, I sat in class, learning how I was supposed to make it in the real world. I started to realize that these professors, the ones teaching me how to think and act, have never experienced life beyond the classroom. I knew I wasn’t reaching my potential sitting in a classroom, so I stepped outside and removed all ceilings.

MO: What issue does your core product help solve and how so?

Adam: At Crown Wood Eyewear it’s simple, we offer premium designer quality sunglasses without brand name inflation. Comparable sunglass brands sell for over $160.00 Crown Wood Eyewear offers that same quality for less.

MO:  Do you consider yourself successful and by what means do you measure success?

Adam: I consider myself to be on the road to success. As a new business owner success has not been measured in sales. Success is measured on my ability to get up everyday and continue to give my business 100%.

MO: How do your competitors view you?

Adam: My competitors view me as the game changer. Crown Wood Eyewear is the first sunglass company to offer such high quality materials at an affordable price. Other comparable acetate and bamboo sunglasses sell for over 2x the price of Crown Wood Eyewear. My competitors created a monopoly in eyewear and I am here to topple it.

MO: What advice do you have for other entrepreneurs and business owners? My advice for other entrepreneurs is save everything.

Adam: Whether it’s an interesting article, photo, website, piece of trash on the ground, save it. Anything that once inspired you or created an idea is important. I can’t explain the amount of information that was lost by simply tossing it out.
