World Housing provides homes to families living in slums in the developing world, fostering communities where families can thrive with safety, security and access to resources that change lives.
Its always interesting how our lives take turns we never expect. PETE DUPUIS felt one of those turns. He is a successful real-estate entrepreneur, but like many in 2008, his path in life was now very uncertain. Pete and his partner Sid Landolt, took a huge hit in revenue, losing millions of dollars, and had to layoff more than half of their employees. Who knew this would end up being an opportunity of a lifetime to impact lives for generations.
In 2010, Pete was on a normal flight, but what he didn’t know is – he wasn’t sitting next to a normal passenger. It was Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS.
At the time, Pete had no idea who Blake was, what TOMS were, or that this flight would change his entire life.
Check out the Q&A with Pete Dupuis, founder of WorldHousing, on what happened after he got off that flight.
