I have always believed that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. On my recent trip to Argentina, there was a lovely chandelier hanging in our rental. In an unfortunate accident the chandelier was broken and became quite an eyesore. Additionally, the landlord let us know that we would have to pay for the chandelier upon checkout. So here we had our lemon. Rather than let this opportunity for lemonade pass, we had each of our dinner guests throughout the rest of the trip write down their favorite quote, some advice, or a wish for the new year. When it came time to pack up and head home, I clipped the chandelier and put it in my carry on bag. Lemonade!

Hey Blake, I had a chance to hear you speak tonight at Chester County CBI ( I was the guy in the front row, asked the question about airstream trailer trip) anyway, I enjoyed hearing you share your vision for TOMS and the “one-to-one” business model. Tonight, i was finally able to close the gap on how to build a FOR-Profit business that can effect the community it is headquartered in by employing some less fortunate people from the community AND have a driving purpose greater than just profit. No margin, no mission! Thanks, and keep up the good work.
That was such a cool idea! You are awesome!!
