Blake Mycoskie is the Founder of TOMS. Upon learning that most children in developing countries grow up barefoot, he created TOMS Shoes with a simple promise: to give a pair of new shoes to children in need with every pair sold. The One for One business model harnesses the power of consumers for good and has become the hallmark of social enterprise. TOMS has given over one million pairs of new shoes to children through giving partners around the world in 28 countries. This June, TOMS launched its second One for One product, TOMS Eyewear, to help save and restore sight to people in need. On September 6th, Blake launches his first book, Start Something That Matters. With every book purchased, a new children's book will be provided to a child in need. One for One.T
