About This Episode
Noah Glass, founder and CEO of Olo and a Share Our Strength board member, shares the path that took him from pizza delivery in Newton MA to building one of the most influential technology platforms in restaurant ordering.

The conversation also explores leadership, company culture, AI, the future of restaurant hospitality, and Noah’s commitment to ending childhood hunger through No Kid Hungry and Olo’s roundup donations. Listen to hear how technology, generosity, and hospitality can work together to make a real difference.Resources and Mentions:
