Mike Malloy left a lucrative management consulting career to run Waveborn, a high-end sunglasses company with a social mission. The company was based on a buy-one give-one model that was a source of inspiration to his team, the investors and the customers. Mike talks about the multi-stage journey that led him from running a company to investing in the lives of other entrepreneurs at Halcyon House, a Washington DC incubator for social impact entrepreneurs.
