This week on Short Story Long I sit down with founder of Shades Club & Dicks Cottons, Rich Amundson.  Rich attended UNC not really wanting to be like his friends who went off to do finance as he knew that wasn’t his passion.  He worked a normal 9 to 5 for about a year in Arizona and decided to pack up and move to New York to become a real estate agent.  While in real estate he needed sunglasses for a sailing trip to Croatia which ultimately led to the creation of his company.  Listen to Episode 64 to hear about how Rich became a founder of a very successful sunglass company.
