November 6, 2025

Macktez founder and CEO Noah Landow recently joined Kimberly Afonso on The Executive Room Podcast to talk about the parts of leadership and entrepreneurship that don't make it into most success stories. Navigating modern technology takes a strategic partner who understands both innovation and implementation, but a major part of success also comes down to timing, luck, and circumstances we can't control.

The conversation

Noah and Kimberly discussed how recognizing the role of luck and circumstance can make you a more grounded, empathetic, and effective leader. Noah also shared lessons from building Macktez over nearly three decades, and how his upcoming book, Tame the Tech Beast, aims to help founders navigate the chaos of scaling technology.
