It may sound too good to be true, but once you've seen the happiest people in your life who have nothing, you really start rethinking what the world, and society, tells us that we need to be happy.
When you're buying a pair of TOMS, if you don't feel like you're part of a community, then I've failed.
I would never want to take TOMS or myself into an issues debate. That's not what we're about. We're about helping people.
I feel a deep sense of responsibility to share everything that we've learned from TOMS, so that others can learn from both our mistakes and the counterintuitive principles that have guided our success.
With TOMS, I found a way to create sustainable giving and consistently help those who are in need.
Walk away from anyone who is unduly focused on vacation and compensation. It's a sign of potential trouble. No matter how talented you are, if you don't really want to work at TOMS, you'll never work out here.
