Branding and marketing have always interested me, but even having changed majors six times or so in college, those two did not make my short list.

Well lo and behold, in the Spring ’09 I was two years out of college and a marketing intern at the headquarters of TOMS Shoes in Santa Monica, CA. Now, the One for One company known solely as TOMS (pun if you want to).

I really enjoyed my short time interning at TOMS in 2009. For many reasons.

One of those reasons was that I created a fantastic workspace.The back of my head and my desk of Sapporo cases, already 2/3rds smaller by the time of this photo.One day, I came into the office to find cases and cases of unopened Sapporo beer 12-pack tallboys, leftover from a recent launch event, piled somewhat haphazardly near the copy machine area … which was, right next to me.

Seated from my chair’s vantage point, I noticed that a stack of four looked to be suspiciously just about the same height as my small desk. So after learning that nothing was expected to happen with them, I simply slid the piles across the floor, flush next to mine; and extended it quite colorfully into the executive style corner office desk I now fantasized it to be.

It was probably no later than 10:30am on this particular Saturday and we were already headed home – likely from an early morning at Home Depot. (Plus, CarTalk starts at 11.) Oh, dad had his projects. Around the house, there was always something to be done. Of course. Even if it didn’t have to be done. Naturally. My dad is an early riser and a hard worker; today still, he often skips breakfast. (Me too, actually. I’m just not hungry until I’ve been awake for 2 hours.) Anyway, at that age, I generally always enjoyed helping him with those projects; still, I did not rise quite so enthusiastically on Saturday mornings. In my younger years, the wafted smell from the kitchen of pancakes with his perfectly crisped edges made it easier, sometimes.

I’d eat 20. I remember now just where we were on Wantagh Avenue – no more than a 3 minutes drive to the house, but today we were about to stop at the local Cards & Gifts shop on the corner to pick up the newspaper. Dad had cancelled our weekend delivery of Newsday because the paper was never fully wrapped in its plastic when it rained.

At the end of the segment, Blake shares [TOMS’ latest commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkF4X5MfW0w) (below) and why TOMS recently added the sign-off, “For One, Another” after their now famous creed, “One for One.”

When I was younger and grew tired of pretending to myself that I was still reading a textbook, I used to think it would be cool if I could just download knowledge into my brain; that maybe one day, we'll plug a cable in our belly buttons and this would bring the end of having to read the slow way. And of course, as I got older, a USB stick might have replaced that cable in this fantasy in my head.

Tangentially related: I would like to recommend to you, audiobooks (if you're not already into them), FREE from your local library, at that. THOUSANDS. (Hey, your tax dollars).
