Noah talks about a defining moment from his time at Amazon Fresh that created tension between hitting goals and staying true to his values. He also reflects on early management mistakes, from overprotecting team members to navigating poor fit situations, and how those experiences reshaped his approach to leadership, ownership, and long-term growth.
