The Jump Start

My boss was preparing a presentation for a conference. She selected TOMS shoes as a case study. She made the presentation to my team first and it got me interested in the founder, Blake Mycoskie. I was so lucky to hear his story in person - he was key note speaker at the conference. He has a remarkable story if you haven't heard it. His story really inspired me and really made me think hard about what I was doing in my career. He spoke about the feeling he gets when he puts shoes on a child for the first time - their world and his world changes at that same moment. I've never had that feeling of changing a person's life and it made me want that experience.
