Blake Mycoskie, Founder of Toms

From the majestic Teton Mountains, we hear the story of the man who defined what it means to be a 'social entrepreneur'. Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS shoes because of a need he saw in impoverished neighborhoods around the world: shoes. His 'one for one' business model of donating a pair of shoes for every pair sold has been copied and recreated in thousands of iterations and has been studied by many. Amidst a crackling fire and over delicious 'minute steaks' at the Snake River Grille, Blake shares the soul of an entrepreneur and the project that has re-ignited his spirit.
