In the fifth episode of the In The Zone podcast, Dr. Mark Crear explores workforce development and community business growth with guests Mark Shramek, the Chairman of the Board for the Valley Industry Association (VIA), and Kathy Norris, also representing VIA. The discussion focuses on how building genuine professional relationships helps individuals and organizations reach the "performance zone".

The race is not given to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but to those who endure to the end.
