Brothers, Bradford and Bryan Manning, are brothers on a mission to cure blindness. At the age of 7, they were both diagnosed with an eye disease that destroys central vision over time. To fight back, they left their former careers in finance to propel a small charitable clothing label, Two Blind Brothers, into a beloved brand endorsed by social impact pioneers including Ellen DeGeneres, Ashton Kutcher, and Richard Branson.
Their leadership on topics such as "purpose-driven" work, family, overcoming disability, and launching a social enterprise has also attracted the attention of organizations such as AT&T, TEDx, Sotheby's, Foundation Fighting Blindness, and the Life Is Beautiful Festival which have all partnered with the brothers. Bradford and Bryan are originally from Charlottesville, Virginia and currently both live together in New York City.
