Join us this week while we answer the questions "What is the importance of community? How do you grow and sustain a community?" Ironically, we answered these questions separately but did so with a twist. This week, Zach answers as Neil and Neil answers as Zach! Neither one of us knows what the other will say, but we will all get a chance to see how well we know one another!
