This episode of the podcast features Blake Mycoskie
(@blakemycoskie). Blake Mycoskie is the Founder and Chief Shoe
Giver of TOMS, and the person behind the One for One business
model, which helps a person in need with every product purchased.
This simple idea has grown into a global movement: TOMS Shoes has
provided more than 60 million pairs of shoes to children since
2006, TOMS Eyewear has restored sight to more than 400,000 people
since 2011, and TOMS Roasting Company has helped provide over
335,000 weeks of safe water since launching in 2014. In 2015,
TOMS Bag Collection was founded with the mission to help provide
training for skilled birth attendants and distribute birth kits
containing items that helps women safely deliver babies. As of
2016, TOMS has supported safe birth services for more than 25,000
mothers. In this episode we cover: Early entrepreneurial ventures
The power of journaling How "the stool analogy" changed Blake's
life Lessons from Ben Franklin And much, much more… This episode
comes from my new television show Fear(less), where I interview
world-class performers on stage about how they’ve overcome doubt,
conquered fear, and made their toughest decisions. You can
watch the entire first episode with illusionist David Blaine for
free at att.net/fearless. (To watch all episodes, please visit
DIRECTV NOW). We recorded three hours of material and only one
hour was used for the TV show. This podcast episode is almost
entirely new content that didn’t appear on TV. Enjoy! Show notes

by Inktel. Ever since I wrote The 4-Hour Workweek, I've been
frequently asked about how I choose to delegate tasks. At the

moderate money to save significant time?" Inktel is one of those
