    Hey Dad, thank you for everything you have put into this. These questions are just Zion's way of making sure he builds this site the right way, around your vision and your community. There are no wrong answers here. Just press record on your phone, say the question number out loud (like &ldquo;Q1, my answer is...&rdquo;), and talk freely. You do not have to do everything in one sitting. Take as many breaks as you need. If a question does not make sense, just skip it and come back later. And if something comes to mind that is not on this list, say that too.
