Description: The voluntourism example.

Transcript: You know, I think that, with TOMS, we’re at that stage that you get to, as an entrepreneur, where, you know, we’re just reaching, just beginning to really take off, you know, even though we’ve been in business two years, we’ve given away 65,000 shoes, we’ll give away 200,000 shoes this year, you know, we’re helping a lot of people. But I still think it’s just the beginning. I mean, there are deals out there for us to do with big companies as partners where we could give away millions of shoes. And that scale ability, I mean, we have 29 employees today. A year ago, we only had eight employees. So a year from now, we might have 100 employees. And so I think, for me, as an entrepreneur, it’s really focusing on getting systems in place for this explosive growth that’s getting ready to happen and spending my time building relationships with other CEOs and other companies that can kind of benefit for participating in the TOMS Shoes model.
