In this episode of eCommerce Odyssey, Trevor talks to Dr Travis Zigler, an optometrist (eye doctor) turned eCommerce entrepreneur. Previously, he owned two optometry practices, which he sold in 2017 to focus on eCommerce. He is the founder of Eye Love, a brand focusing on a condition known as dry eye.
