Retired CEO of Lenscrafters David Browne on Faith and Work
Article written by Kevin Miller (Watch the Video Interview Here) - At the tender age of 29, David Browne was living every entrepreneur’s dream. As CEO and President of LensCrafters, the multi-million dollar eyewear company he co-founded, every sign indicated that his star would continue to rise. However, even though David admits he thought of himself as “hot stuff” at the time, he couldn’t have been more miserable.So what was the problem?
David was having an increasingly difficult time reconciling his Christian faith with his business success. While the former told him to put God and people first, the latter made the bottom line king. If people or ethics had to be swept aside in order to achieve a profit, so be it. So even while David had achieved success according to the world’s terms, he sensed he was nowhere near as successful as he could be were he able to reconcile these two facets of his life.
