Toms Shoes
Our team would like to give a shout out to Blake Mycoskie and his company Toms Shoes. We’ve worked with Blake in the past on several projects, and for the last three years he’s been spending his time starting a company founded in Argentina that for each pair of shoes sold, they give a pair to a needy child.
Yesterday during the Masters, AT&T aired a national commercial featuring Blake and Toms Shoes that you can check out here. Congrats Blake!
“Reality Check”
Continue Reading
“Reality Check” is the ninth book by Guy Kawasaki, the managing director of Garage Technology Ventures. It’s a compilation of Guy’s experiences (success and failure) in the business world, and it’s primarily targeted to entrepreneurs, but it’s also a great read for anyone looking to get ahead in their job. Even though it’s 462 pages covered in 94 chapters, its a pretty quick read. He keeps each chapter short and the style is very easy to read.
