The three words that saved my life | Blake Mycoskie

October 9, 2026·18 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

On paper, Blake Mycoskie is a glowing success story: he founded TOMS Shoes, building a global brand that has given away more than 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need. Yet despite his success, his struggle with depression nearly cost him his life. In this personal talk, he explores the all-too-common shame that keeps people suffering in silence — and shares his new mission to spread the simple yet powerful message that each of us is inherently enough. (Note: This talk includes discussion of suicide and depression.)More resourcesResources for suicide prevention, post-attempt survivors and their familieshttps://blog.ted.com/resources-for-suicide-prevention-post-attempt-survivors-and-their-families/Vote for our show in the Signal Awards for Most Inspirational podcast!
