Blake MyCoskie of Tom's Shoes gave a compelling keynote presentation on Monday about how giving is not only the right thing to do as citizens and people, but also a very effective business strategy. When starting Tom's shoes he thought about setting it up as a charity but felt strongly that he would be able to make more of am impact creating an enterprise than generated a profit. He's giving over 1M shoes to children in less than 4 year, not a bad result. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlp1Pa1WKgM
