Founder and chief shoe giver of TOMS Shoes, Blake Mycoskie, spoke on the campus of DePauw University to talk about his unique approach to business and creating a better world.

The Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture Series focused on the concept of “Conscious Capitalism and the Future of Business.”

Since it began in 2006 when Mycoskie was just 29 years old, TOMS has given ten million pairs of new shoes to children in need. The company also recently expanded its unique business model – called “caring capitalism” by some – to include TOMS eyewear, in which for every pair of glasses purchased, the company helps give sight to a person in need around the world.
