Founder of TOMS joins the VaynerSpeakers roster
Blake Mycoskie is the founder of TOMS Shoes and the creator of the One for One movement — a model that donated over 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need and helped redefine what a for-profit company could stand for. TOMS became a cultural touchstone for an entire generation of purpose-driven founders, and its impact on how the business world thinks about giving is still felt today.
After selling TOMS, Blake found himself in a place he hadn’t anticipated. With the company behind him and the sense of purpose that came with it, he fell into a profound depression, one that eventually brought him to the darkest moment of his life. Working through that period led to a realization that would reshape everything: the struggle wasn’t about what he had or hadn’t achieved. It was rooted in a belief he had carried for years that he wasn’t enough.
That realization became the foundation for ENOUGH, a cultural movement designed to challenge the deeply ingrained belief of not enough and reframe how we understand mental health at its core. Through simple but powerful symbols, like the green ENOUGH bracelet sold in pairs — one to keep, one to give — Blake invites people to reconnect with a truth that has always been there: I am enough. You are enough. We are enough.
He’s also launching No Magic Pill, a podcast built for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. No agenda, no product to push, no requirement for a perfect ending. Just honest, unfiltered conversations about mental health that are as relatable as they are real.
What to expect on stage
When Blake takes the stage, audiences get the full arc: the billion-dollar brand, the identity collapse, the darkest moment, and the hard-won comeback. His talks move fluidly across entrepreneurship, mental health, purpose, and what it actually means to build a life, not just a company. He brings a rare combination of iconic business credibility and radical personal vulnerability that speaks to founders, leadership teams, students, and anyone navigating the gap between external success and internal fulfillment.
