Peer-learning has never been so much fun. This episode with David Parmelee, President of Wepco Plastics, is another great learning experience!

Ari and David talk about some really different topics. Of course, they talk about continuous improvement, workforce development, the history of Wepco plastics and how they recruit.

But, they also talk about work-life balance, millennials in the workplace, the value of apprenticeship, the importance of peer-learning and sharing, and Wepco's incredible social media presence.
