Blake Mycoskie (@BlakeMycoskie) is a serial
entrepreneur, philanthropist, and best-selling author, most known
for founding TOMS Shoes. He is also the person behind the idea of
One for One, a business model that helps a person in need with
every product purchased. Since its inception, TOMS Shoes has
provided almost 96 million pairs of shoes to children around the
globe.
In 2014, after selling half of the company to Bain Capital, Blake
stepped down as CEO of TOMS. Utilizing half of his proceeds, he
started The Social Entrepreneurship Fund to help early startups
with core social missions get off the ground with much-needed
funding. Since then, he has invested in more than 25 social
enterprises.
In the spring of 2020, Blake co-founded his newest company,
Madefor, which offers a 10-month program that
applies the principles of modern neuroscience, psychology, and
physiology to make your brain and body better. Created alongside
scientists from Stanford, Harvard, and other top universities,
Madefor helps people learn and sustain positive habits and
practices that have the greatest impact on their lives. Listeners
