In this episode, I was lucky enough to chat with a guy that has done everything. He has worked in the warranty department for some of the biggest brands, supported some of the worlds best at races and everything in between.  Starting at a humble bike shop Phil has managed to become one of the most unknown driving forces behind some of the industry leaders.
