On Episode 4 of The GSC Podcast, Brandon, the host, talks to Dale Rice, a fellow Technical Account Specialist at GSC.

Between Dale and Brandon together, they've visited and had conversations with 800-1,000 companies over the last 2 years. Having that number of conversations starts to provide insight about healthy engineering ecosystems and unhealthy ones.

On this episode, we discuss an analogy of how the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park can be similar to an engineering department. What makes a healthy engineering ecosystem, and how small changes can have ripple effects throughout a department or organization.
