Intro

In this episode, we are joined by Teresa Noonan, founder of Lot No 68 and former Costco executive, to explore the power of company culture in driving long-term success. Teresa spent 32 years at Costco, where she played a key role in leadership development and worked closely with the legendary Jim Sinegal. 

Through personal stories—from starting as the only woman on an all-male night shift crew to rising through the ranks—Teresa shares firsthand insights into how Costco built a culture centered on respect, responsibility, and continuous improvement. We also discuss how businesses can create multi-party stakeholder win-wins by fostering people-first leadership and optimizing value chains.
