Hi Blake,
Great Job! Have you read “A World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism” by Muhammad Yunus? In this book Yunus proposes a kind of company that he called social business. I think that is the same you are working with TOMS shoes.
Good luck and success with TOMS shoes!

Great business model.
I am very impressed, I saw this video couple of times and thought couple of time to start something similar in India. One-for-One is great sustainable concept. I like simplicity in this model.
A concept brilliant during inception and continuing to be one. This is great and I wish I can contribute sometime.
