My delightful guest today and I have a great time discussing her journey into entrepreneurship and how she became a "driving force" in the community! Nelley Walker opened her transportation business, Nelley's Car Service, about four years ago. She has built her company from the ground up.
We talk about how she has expanded her service from primarily taking people to dinner to now multiple daily trips to the Atlanta airport, sporting events, entertainment venues and even for folks who need to need a ride to a doctors appointment or run a few errands.
We will discuss the excitement & challenges of starting a business, the scary downturn during Covid lockdowns, and the recent resurgence and growth she has experienced with all of the new people moving to the area!
She now spends a lot more time managing her business and all the logistics of moving people from Point A to Point B, but her passion is still with the people she drives! You'll enjoy hearing what she loves most about driving her clients and also, a couple of crazy, not so fun, experiences she has had!
And we answer the question, with a last name like Walter and a family that has been in the area a very long time, could she be related to a famous local writer? Listen and find out...

Lure of the Lake
Lake Oconee, Georgia, located halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, is a man-made paradise with incredible beauty that makes it a great vacation destination for people of all ages. More than that, though, it's a community for those that are looking for a peaceful life filled with nature and beauty.
I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
