The boat is my refuge.
[Blake Mycoskie figures he spends only about 10 days a month at home in Los Angeles. His job as founder and CEO of Toms Shoes keeps him on the move, visiting factories in Argentina and Brazil, meeting with overseas distributors, and delivering shoes to poor children in Argentina and South Africa. (For every pair of shoes Toms sells, it donates a pair; since its founding, in 2006, Toms has donated 60,000 pairs.) Because he wasn't spending many nights in his apartment anyway, Mycoskie recently decided to sell it and use the money to buy a boat. "I figured, why not have something I can also use for recreation?" he says.
"If I am in L.A., I won't go into the office until 11, because I don't want to deal with traffic. I'll do e-mail and phone calls from 6 to 10 right in my captain's chair. It's a nice, quiet space."]-inc.
