True leadership lives in the trenches, not the title. As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, we’re looking back at oral histories from Off the Rak guests who lived in, worked in, and love New York City. From pursuing your dreams in the bright lights of the big city to managing public crises in the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner, this episode brings together three short stories of reinvention, resilience, and purpose from Broadway actor and producer Robert Creighton; film writer, director, producer Eliot V. Kotek; and forensics expert Barbara Butcher. Get inspired by this compilation of leadership moments about finding your priorities, chasing optimism, and staying human while pursuing your passion in the town where dreams are made.
While this year marks an important anniversary, the September 11 Memorial & Museum's own research says more than 100 million Americans now have no lived memory of that day. This comes even as the upcoming ceremony plans to add a seventh moment of silence, one for people who've died from 9/11-related illness in the years since.
