Blake Mycoskie

This week we talk to the founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS, Blake Mycoskie. TOMS has just launched “The Marketplace,” a new retail destination created to make a difference, so we talk to Blake about our culture’s excessive consumerism (especially on Black Friday) and how TOMS is using its name to bolster social entrepreneurship. Also this week, the crew plays a special Black Friday game (“Skymall Friday”), we discuss the safety of watching TV while driving, and desperately try to figure out how to get dcTalk back together… A big thanks to our sponsor, Fracture, the company that makes it easy to preserve your memories on your wall.

They’ve all become individually successful, have hinted at a reunion, but as of yet, have done NOTHING to officially make a comeback. So as a podcast family, we’ve decided it’s officially time for us ALL to put our weight behind this and get Toby, Michael and Kevin back together. So this week, in probably one of the most serious questions we’ve ever asked, we want to know from you, what should be done to incentivize dcTalk to reunite?
