TOMS didn't have to focus on advertising, but on giving in a way that's sustainable.

TOMS is no longer a shoe company... we're a one-for-one company.

Make the most out of every single day you have on earth and be thankful for them.

I don't think college is for everyone. School is awesome, but for me, I was learning a lot more outside the classroom in the real world than I was in school.

When you're buying a pair of TOMS, if you don't feel like you're part of a community, then I've failed.

Giving feels good, but it's also good for the bottom line. Charity is a viable growth strategy for a lot of companies. Our customers get excited to be a part of what we're doing. If you ask anyone wearing Toms how they first heard about us, most won't mention an advertisement; they'll say a friend told them our story.

No matter how convenient it is for us to reach out to people remotely, sometimes the most important task is to show up in person.
