Broadcasting LIVE from Reliance One, Inc, CT & Phil chat about all of the amazing experiences that they have had over the years as a volunteer. Between the Ally Challenge, Buick Open, Ryder Cup, PGA Championship, the fellas have Great Stories for days.

Without the Ally Challenge, Phil and I would have never met and A Great Story Podcast wouldn't be the same!

Think of the AGSP episodes that wouldn't have happened if we weren't at the Ally Challenge (Jack & Barbara Nicklaus / Scott Tolley, Ray Lane, Jim Brandstatter, Lt. Col Dan Rooney, Jerry Kelly (Told him to have fun with his chicken), Doug Barron, Doug Milne, Rachelle Alcini, & Ken Duke)

We're looking for Drivers to shuttle PGA Players & families to the airport & back. Plus, short trips around the Grand Blanc area during the week. The experience is amazing and hopefully you'll join Phil & I at the Ally Challenge. It is a lot of fun! You'll work directly with CT, Phil and Ally Challenge / Buick Open Legend, the Godfather John DeMarco!l

There is a nominal fee to volunteer for the AC. And you'll receive a Ally Challenge golf shirt, hat, volunteer credential to get in you in every day, even when you are not volunteering, an extra ticket for each day to take a friend, a tickety to Thomas Rhett concert, you'll get to meet PGA pros, you'll eat some amazing food, plus you'll create memories that you can have forever. Also it is a charity event, your time will go towards generating millions for local charities.

This was an outstanding interview and one that you don't want to miss!
