A big congratulations to the Greater Omaha Young Professionals for yet another outstanding Young Professionals Summit.

Blake Mycoskie of TOMS Shoes was the luncheon keynote speaker, and after his presentation he sat down with me to highlight some of his talk’s key points as well as more of the story around when he launched TOMS in 2006.

Take a look at our conversation below, and a very special thank you to the team at Malone & Co. for shooting both film and photos of the interview. Their work is amazing and we’re very appreciative of the support they give us at Silicon Prairie News.
