Mycoskie has founded 'personal transformation' company Madefor with former Navy SEAL Pat Dossett
Toms Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie is on a new mission to help people help themselves.
"After over a decade of building Toms and building what I believe is a beautiful company and had many friends and I got married and had kids and had this wonderful life," Mycoskie told CNBC. Mycoskie had started the yearly excursion in an effort to maintain close friendships, after a conversation with his father some years before. "He was a very successful doctor and had a great life and still does. But … one of the things that he regretted was he spent so much time focusing on his career and his family that he did not keep strong relationships with his male friends," Mycoskie told CNBC.
"What we've found is that by helping people, getting people into something small that they do every day and the cumulative effects on their physical mental health, it actually has a lot of knock-on effects in other areas There's also an online community that participants can join, but the focus is on getting people to work on themselves offline.
