Software Engineering, Data, Culture, Email Rules & Yurts... What more could you ask for in a podcast? In this episode we sat down with Wes Reing @ Trip Advisor to chat about Culture through the eyes of a Data-focused Software Engineer. We titled this one the "Giving a Sh\*T Equation" \[and why you should care\], we could add to that \[about others all the time\]. This is a great, honest conversation about "grownup" culture that drives performance via trust and faith, in others and yourself. Problem Solving mind-sets vs. the blame game, two way streets, and culture tells - you'll find them all here. Give it a listen. Learn something. Grow!
