Walt Rakowich's passion to help shape a generation of leaders who lead with honesty, humility and heart inspired him to launch Off the Rak: Conversations on Transformative Leadership. Featuring rich and raw conversations with notable leaders across different industries, every episode inspires curious leaders to embrace challenges, seize opportunities and become positive influences in their world.
After three seasons as a live monthly video interview series, Off the Rak is now available as a podcast. Tune in for new episodes and re-releases of some of our best interviews. Highlights in this introduction include:

- Tommy Spaulding, bestselling author, leadership speaker, and coach

Walt Rakowich brings a real-world perspective to leadership that’s based on experience, not just theory. Walt was CEO of Prologis, the world’s largest owner of industrial warehouses and a critical partner to companies distributing products throughout the global supply chain. The company was near bankruptcy when Walt took over at the height of the Great Recession. While leading Prologis back to prominence, and in the years since, Walt realized leaders today must lean into timeless values and principles, but with a fresh perspective on the new realities of our leadership climates. He is the author of TRANSFLUENCE: HOW TO LEAD WITH TRANSFORMATIVE INFLUENCE IN TODAY'S CLIMATES OF CHANGE.
