Former bankers find life in trash

Three former Wall Street bankers are using their expertise and following their hearts by creating a shoe business out of recycled trash.

Rising from the collapse of Bear Stearns was not easy for Stephen Chen, co-founder of Greensoul Shoes, who decided to use what he and his friends learned on Wall Street to build a business with financial and social benefits. Speakers: Stephen Chen, co-founder, Greensoul Shoes; Alastair Onglingswan, co-founder, Greensoul Shoes; Iris Chau, former JP Morgan Chase investment banker
