Creating Systems with Ral West

Creating Systems with Ral West

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM August 30, 2024 Duration: 19:17

I had the chance to speak with Ral West this week on Women Influencers. She is the founder of Ral West, Livin’ the Dream, a service company dedicated to teaching Entrepreneurs how to create smooth running businesses so they can overcome overwhelm, accomplish more success with less stress, and live the life they deserve.

We discussed how she grew up in a family involved in Alaska Tourism, which earned her father the nickname “Mr. Alaska.” After moving to Anchorage, she opened her first business which was a marketing consulting firm specializing in tourism. After setting up shop in an executive suit, she met the boy across the hall that would eventually become her husband. 


After a while they decided to focus on her husband’s business, Hawaiian Vacations, and began chartering wide body jets to carry Alaskans to Hawaii, as the existing air service was a bit variable. They were able to grow the business to the point that it was acquired by Alaska Airlines.


We then discussed her other business ventures and the importance of utilizing systems.

Hosted by Veronica Malolos, CCIM-Founder and CEO of Capital Stack Real Estate Group-the Women Influencers podcast moves beyond surface-level success stories to explore the nuanced realities of leadership, ambition, and personal philosophy. Each conversation delves into the practical strategies and formative experiences of women who have shaped their fields, with a particular lens on business and commercial real estate. These are not just interviews; they are deep dives into the decisions, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a career. Veronica’s background as an operator in the Greater Orlando market informs a grounded, insightful dialogue that resonates whether you’re building a company, navigating a corporate ladder, or redefining your own path. The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement. Listen for candid reflections on balancing ambition with life’s other demands, the philosophical underpinnings of a leadership style, and the often-unspoken challenges of carving out space in competitive industries. It’s a series dedicated to amplifying voices that not only succeed but also thoughtfully pave the way for others.
