Show Notes

Today we have, Kenton Lee, as our guest.

Kenton Lee is the founder of Because International and the creator of their first project The Shoe That Grows. After spending time living at a small orphanage in Kenya he had the idea for a shoe that could expand its size. It took six years to work on the idea. But he and his friends succeeded in developing a shoe that can grow five sizes and last for years. The cause accidentally went viral in 2015. And now there are over 350,000 pairs of The Shoe That Grows on the feet of kids in over 100 countries. Kenton and his wife Nikki live in Nampa, Idaho with their two kids.
