Congratulations to Blake Mycoskie, Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of Bonfante Steinbeck client TOMS Shoes, on the launch of his book “Start Something That Matters” (www.startsomethingthatmatters.com). In his book, Mycoskie tells his story of how he came to form TOMS Shoes and what inspired him to develop the company’s One for One™ mission—for every pair of shoes a consumer buys, the company gives a pair of shoes to a child in need somewhere in the world. Last year, the company reported that, with assistance from charities and other organizations, TOMS had given away more than a million pairs of shoes. What is more, through his own story and others that motivated him, Mycoskie presents a how-to blueprint to developing like-minded companies for socially-conscious entrepreneurs. (www.TOMS.com)
