HATTIE: Hi, I'm Hattie Bryant. There is power in numbers and when every business on Main Street gets together our communities can be transformed. Today you'll meet business owners who commit time and money for the cause of the greater good and you'll be able to see with your own eyes that every one of them has some common qualities.

First, they're hard working. The opposite of a couch potato.

Second, they think about making the lives of others better. The opposite of self-serving.

And third, they see the glass half full. They're optimists, brimming with enthusiasm for the future, the opposite of the negative elites, the victims and those who wait for something good happen.

These are the movers, the shakers, the thinkers, the dreamers, the workers, the creators of wealth and work. And while they're doing all of that, they volunteer.

TOBY MALICHI: I volunteered because God has blessed me with a lot of knowledge, skills.

HATTIE: (VO) Toby Malichi is founder and president of Malichi International.

TOBY: One of my skill sets is to bridge cultures together, and so I like to volunteer to help small business make that bridge to going international a little more easier for them. I believe that no deposit, no return. So actually, what I put in, I get back way more.
