For the last few years Off the Rak podcast interviews have ended with the same question: What in life are you most grateful for?

The answers have been so revealing, encouraging, inspiring, and thought-provoking that they led to a new capstone question for all Off the Rak as a new season launches: What purpose are you most passionate about pursuing?

For Walt Rakowich, gratitude and purpose aren’t just ideas—they’re the guiding principles of his life and leadership.

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.
