Thomas Hatch has worn many hats throughout his young life. He's a former member of the U.S. Intelligence community, he's been a school teacher, started his own successful software company and invented Salt, one of the most popular open source platforms on earth!  It's because he's worn so many hats that Chunga wants to throw him a curveball. In this episode of The Hacks, Tom has no clue what they're going to talk about.  Chunga is calling this episode "The Zen of Collaboration". Working in groups, even small ones can be very challenging for human beings.
