In this episode, Wade sits down with James Hatfield, Chief Revenue Officer at LiveSwitch, to talk about how video and AI are transforming sales for moving and home service businesses. They dig into why the old way of doing in-person estimates is slowing companies down, and how virtual video surveys can help you win the "race to the face," respond faster, and close more of the right jobs without sending a truck to every lead.

The conversation covers practical use cases for live video and AI: building accurate inventories and cube sheets from a simple walkthrough, documenting pre-existing damage to protect your crews, turning recordings into training and SOPs, and creating a long-term "data moat" that makes your business harder to compete with. They also look ahead at what's coming next—AI agents that can watch surveys, build reports, and help move you toward almost touchless online booking.

In this episode of Grow Your Moving Company, Wade sits down with Jay Doran, host of the Culture Matters podcast and founder of Culture Matters consulting. Together, they dive deep into the role of company culture in building a thriving moving business.

Jay shares why culture is not just a buzzword—it's the heartbeat of a company. From shaping customer experiences to guiding employee growth and even influencing investor relationships, culture drives every outcome. Drawing on Kierkegaard's wisdom—"Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forward"—Jay explains why understanding a company's history is essential for defining its values and future direction.
