Projects are moving full speed ahead at HQ this week and I now see that there is no such thing as a “slow day” at TOMS. After an exciting weekend of adventures and exploring L.A. (intern Grace and I got a little lost in Korea-town and ended up in what might be the sketchiest, most [...]

I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on. For it won’t be long til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on.
