Mycoskie A “Shoe-In” As a Keynote- The NonProfit Times March 21, 2011: "Mycoskie A “Shoe-In” As a Keynote

Four months after he started TOMS shoes, Blake Mycoskie was at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport checking in for his flight home when he learned one of his most valuable lessons.

“I love the shoes you’re wearing,” he told a woman who was wearing TOMS, without identifying himself. It was the first time he’d seen someone, other than friends and family, wearing a pair of TOMS shoes. Before he knew it, the woman grabbed him by the shoulder and proceeded to tell him how wonderful the company is, even telling his life story “word for word with more passion than my mom,” Mycoskie said."
