What does Dr. Darryl “Everyone’s Favorite Optometrist” Glover not do? He’s an OD and Program Director of Brand Engagement and Inclusion for MyEyeDr., CEO and co-founder of Defocus Media, co-Founder of Black EyeCare Perspective, co-Founder of Eyefrica Media, and a dad … and that’s just before breakfast! It should come as no surprise then, that his number one favorite thing when it comes to business is making an impact. “This isn’t just about providing services; it’s about touching lives, creating smiles, and making every day a little brighter,” he says. Next up? The art of “running the mouth,” as he puts it. In addition to “spreading joy and laughter” in his practice, this clearly extends to his media companies. He also loves to geek out over numbers. “It’s not just about balancing books; it’s about finding the story behind the numbers.” But when unhappy patients, insurance, or excessive waiting start to drain him, he has a remedy. “There’s no better way to unwind than by hanging out with my two babies, Aryio and Sade. Their smiles are like a burst of energy, instantly melting away any stress or tiredness I might be feeling. Their smiles are my favorite way to end the day!”
