Finding Purpose Beyond Achievement

In today’s episode, I sit down with Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS and ENOUGH, host of No Magic Pill, and co-founder of Morning Water and Moovlab. Blake shares how TOMS grew from a simple idea into a global giving movement, then opens up about the depression and isolation he experienced after selling the company. We discuss the achievement myth, separating self-worth from external success, and the simple practices that helped him rebuild his mental health. Blake also explains how that healing restored his entrepreneurial creativity, leading him to launch new ventures, mentor young founders, and embrace his next chapter as a coach committed to helping others.
