  At Stripe, Jon faced challenges. He joined a risky JavaScript infrastructure team and struggled to find his footing. Eventually he found his way, built a great team and then it all started to fall apart again.

  Discover how Jon's journey reshaped his life and what it means to balance personal and professional priorities.
