The goal isn't how much money you make, but how much you help people.

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

People always ask me, when I had the idea for TOMS, did it change my life? As romantic and noble as it is, no it did not change my life. But when I went to Argentina on that first shoe-drop, it did change my life.

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. People make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. The meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. People don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

A good story transcends boundaries, breaks barriers and opens doors.

When people start serving together, they forgot about all their stress, [...] all their own problems. They start focusing on someone else's.
