Regis Malloy (LinkedIn, Website) is the founder of G1VE, a company that connects small businesses with nonprofits and automates charitable giving. Before that he had a job he loved, and was hesitant to leave. But a large part of Regis’ worldview is focusing on the big picture. And when he did that, he knew he had to take the leap into entrepreneurship.

“The company that I left was probably the best company I had ever worked for. I was extremely happy there. And so you might think, well why would you leave? And there were times when I thought that. But really it prepared me and equipped me. I know in my bones that absolutely it was the right thing to do.”
