Podcast Description
”Off The Leash” Podcast is a storytelling platform created by college students, for college students. Through engaging interviews, we dive into the unique upbringings and remarkable achievements of individuals across the college community.

(1) Confident and resilient, yet humble (2) Future focused, while grounded in their storied heritage (3) Unapologetically excellent, but still growth-oriented (4) Relentlessly driven and team-oriented.
At its core, Off The Leash is about you, the listener. Each episode, we commit to bringing you stories and inspiration from the mouths of people you may not traditionally hear from.
