ABOUT THE GUEST

Fueled by his vision to leave a better environment for his children and the next generation, Rich ‘Raz’ Razgaitis is tackling a problem most people don’t even know they have: toxic drinking water.

As Co-Founder & CEO of FloWater, the world’s most advanced water refill station and member of the Inc. 500 list, Raz is combining this vision with his 20+ years of leadership & tech experience to deliver a product that keeps 2.38 plastic water bottles from reaching our landfills and oceans every second (130 million to date).

With a purpose-driven mission, partners like Google, Airbnb, Vayner Media & Hilton, and $15 million in funding from Bluewater, it’s safe to say they’re just getting started. 

When Raz isn’t ridding our planet of plastic waste, you’ll find the self-described “water dude” helping prison inmates change their lives by partnering with Defy Ventures, running his way through beautiful Colorado, or filling his most important role yet - dad to his two teenage daughters.
