“We’ve gotten tremendous response from our Monday emails that began several months ago, initially conceived as a result of the COVID crisis,” COO Angelo Palmieri said. “The next logical progression was a podcast.”

In trying to figure out how to navigate these challenging times, GCAL will be reaching out so our industry can experience the power of sharing information. And we are honored to have Harold Dupuy and Carl Lehnhardt of Stuller for our premier broadcast interview.”
