CEO Spencer Rascoff is hosting a new

Rascoff," which debuts today in the iTunes Store. In each
episode, Rascoff will be joined by a prominent guest for a candid
conversation about leadership, management, building a strong

episodes will feature Michael

Krawcheck, Ellevest CEO; Joel
Spolsky, Stack Overflow CEO and Trello co-founder; and

"Whenever I'm in a room with other CEOs and entrepreneurs, the
conversation always leads to a discussion about company culture,
the most effective ways to communicate with our employees, and how
we tackle tough decisions," said Rascoff. "I often come away from
these conversations with fascinating new insights that I want to
share with others, and launching 'Office Hours' on
iTunes Podcasts will allow me to do just that."
