Even if you are not familiar with TOMS Shoes, you should try to catch entrepreneur and founder Blake Mycoskie on CNBC’s The Entrepreneurs, hosted by Donny Deutsch. The show airs tonight (April 2) at 9:00pm EST and 1:00am EST. Blake will discuss the inspiration behind the brand, their one-for-one business model and the company’s mission.

TOMS Shoes gives one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair purchased. To date, the company has given over 135,000 pairs of shoes and hosted “shoe drops” in Africa, South America and even the United States.
They feature very simple, stylish shoes that are popular among celebrities and people everywhere. Recently, I held a giveaway for TOMS Shoes over on Shoe Blitz.
If you miss it tonight, CNBC will be repeating the episode on Sunday, April 5 at 10:00pm EST and on Friday, April 10 at 1:00pm EST. Check out the TOMS Shoes blog for more info.

I didn’t get to see this but definitely a nice story.
