Rotaract Talks
Welcome to Rotaract Talks, a podcast where we, together with the over 1.2 million members of Rotary International explore what makes a career worthwhile, how those who climbed to the very top made it there, and how you can make a difference to those around you. Join us to explore how we can better prepare for the next crisis or how we can build a society that better supports those who are most in need of assistance.
