In this episode, Jonny and Zach share how they have worked together to become better storytellers. We thought it would be fun to challenge you and a friend to work together to come up with a story. It can be a written story or perhaps a fun skit you create for your family. The idea is to work together with a friend to come up with the idea, both contribute your ideas to developing the storyline. We even created a fun invitation that you can use to ask your friend to participate in this challenge with you. The invite can be customized with your faces and names, and it is 100% free to download. Click here to claim you free download.
