- The Government Sued Meathead Movers for $15 Million! Here Is How Aaron Steed Fought Back and Won!
Aaron Steed was 17 years old with no truck and no money.
His pitch to clients: rent the U-Haul yourself, drive us to the job, and pay us whatever you think we're worth.
Twenty-nine years later, Meathead Movers has 8 locations across California, hundreds of employees, one of the most recognizable brands in the moving industry, and a story that includes a $15 million federal lawsuit Aaron refused to walk away from.
On this Movified Mondays, host Mark Hirschi sits down with Aaron Steed for a conversation about what it actually costs to build a brand worth protecting. From borrowed U-Hauls and barbecued steaks as payment, to going head to head with the EEOC, to moving domestic violence survivors out of harm's way for free.
This is not just a moving industry episode. This is a playbook from someone who built it from the ground up, survived the worst, and is still leading the company today.
"So much of business is how you react to it." Aaron Steed

1 hr 9 min - How You Act Is Just as Important as How You Pack. The Culture Playbook Every Moving Company Owner Needs ft. Karsten Desario with Kinetic Movers
Your brand is built by the people wearing the shirt.
Not the logo. Not the truck wrap. Not the website. The people.
Karsten Desario knows this better than almost anyone in the moving industry. The owner of Kinetic Movers in York, Pennsylvania built a team so loyal they signed their employee handbooks in purple, tattooed the Kinetic logo on his hand, and show up on filming days just to be part of something they are proud of. His guys do not just work for Kinetic Movers. They live it.
On this Movified Wednesdays, host Mark Hirschi and co-host Steven Reed sit down with Karsten for a conversation about what it actually takes to build a moving company culture that shows up on every job, in every interaction, and in every piece of content your crew puts out.
This is not a theory episode. This is a playbook from someone who built it from the ground up and is still in the trenches building it.
"Culture trickles down from the leader. If the leader is doing it, the team will follow." — Karsten DeZario

42 min - How to Sell Without Desperation and Build a Business That Actually Lasts with Heath (Mayor) Sharon
People can smell commission breath.
They know when you are desperate. They know when you just want to close. And the moment they feel it, you have already lost them.
Heath Sharon has spent 25 years in the insurance industry and earned the nickname Mayor of Insurance Town because he knows everybody and everybody knows him. He hosts the Insurance Town Podcast, speaks on stages across the country, and works with salespeople, service professionals, and business owners on communication, sales, and relationship building at the highest level.
He has nothing to do with the moving industry. And that is exactly why this conversation is so valuable.
On this Movified Mondays, host Mark Hirschi sits down with Mayor Heath for one of the most wide-ranging and universally applicable conversations ever recorded on this show, covering sales pipelines, storytelling, AI tools, business systems, mental health, the four burner method, and what it actually means to build something sustainable.

59 min - They Are Up 300%, While Everyone Else Is Dead | Here's Exactly What They Are Doing Differently!
This is the After-Hours Movified Wednesdays episode recorded live at the Moving Legends Retreat in Orlando and it might be the most unfiltered, real-talk panel conversation we've ever captured on this show.
Three moving company owners.
Three completely different markets.
One room. Drinks in hand.
Vincent Perez runs Muscle Movers in Las Vegas the highest-rated moving company in a city where getting licensed takes 18 months, requires proof of capital for six months of expenses, and lets competing movers show up to your board hearing and object to your license application.
James Campbell runs Wailua Movers on Maui a 150,000-person island where the only way goods move on or off is through shipping containers, resources are scarce, and most of the local belief system says there aren't enough moves to build something serious.
Chris Knowles out of Nashville is continues to build True Friends Moving, speaking at the retreat, investing in lakeside real estate, and thinking about how to multiply revenue without multiplying problems — bolt-ons, long distance, and assets that outlast the trucks.
The after-hours conversation most conferences never have what happens when you strip away the stage and just talk.
"I'm coming for him and I don't give a f***." Vincent, on the most high-end moving company in Las Vegas.
This is the episode that makes you rethink whether you're playing the game correctly.

1 hr 9 min - Why Are Most Movers Still Ignoring Restoration? | ft. Brett Bannon with Incredible Restorations Vancouver
One flood job.
Pack out. Storage. Move back.
That's three billable events from a single call and the jobs are bigger, more urgent, and repeat all year long.
Most movers have never touched the restoration channel. And the ones who understand it don't advertise it.
On this Movified Mondays, host Mark Hirschi sits down with Brett Bannon, Director at Incredible Restorations one of Vancouver's most respected restoration companies with 30 years in business and 25 vans on the road for the most practical and complete breakdown of the restoration-moving partnership ever recorded on this show.
This is the episode that changes how you think about your off-season.
"If you can schedule with Mr. Smith, book the elevator, get the quotes on time, and say consider it done that's what we want to see." — Brett, Incredible Restorations
This is not a niche episode. This is a revenue channel most movers have completely overlooked.

57 min - How AI Virtual Surveys Are Making On-Site Estimates Obsolete | Brandon Wise | Qube Sheets
Brandon Wise spent 20 years in the moving industry doing manual labor.
He had no tech background. No software experience. No investors.
Then he watched AI transform the construction industry — and asked one question:
Why can't we do this for moving estimates?
That question became Qube Sheets — an AI-powered virtual survey tool that builds a complete, accurate inventory report in real time, integrates directly with Smart Moving and any CRM with an open API, gives automatic box recommendations, and lets your estimator close the deal before the call even ends.
On this Movified Wednesdays — recorded live at the MSC Conference in Nashville — host Mark Hirschi and co-host Steven Reed sit down with Brandon Wise, founder of Qube Sheets, for one of the most practical and forward-thinking conversations.
This is not a tech pitch. This is a mover who felt the pain himself, built the solution himself, and is now changing how operators across North America estimate jobs.

43 min - He Bought a Moving Company With No Industry Experience and Took it to NEW Heights with Brian Tustin
Most operators try to win by going wider. More territory. More services. More locations.
Brian Tustin tried the opposite — and it's working.
In 2022, Brian walked away from a successful career in hospitality management and bought a two-truck moving company in one of the smallest markets in America: a coastal peninsula in Delaware doing $700K on a good year. No CRM. No website worth having. No SOPs. Paper everything.
Three and a half years later, First Rate Movers is the dominant moving company in Sussex County — one of the fastest growing counties in the United States — and Brian is building a full-service operation with warehouse storage, packing, and a reputation that earns referrals from builders, designers, and real estate agents who trust him by name.
On this Movified Mondays, host Mark Hirschi sits down with Brian Tustin for a conversation that's equal parts acquisition playbook, operational honesty, and philosophy of service.

43 min - They Were Competing Over Who Worked Harder — Until One Conversation Changed Everything | Liberty Moves Orlando
In December 2019, Carolina gave birth to their second child.
Six months later — in the middle of a global pandemic — Devin Clayton started a moving company.
Carolina Clayton was at home with a newborn and a four-year-old. Devin was on the truck. Nobody knew what they were doing. And for the first couple of years, they were competing over who worked harder instead of building something together.
Fast forward to today: Liberty Moves Orlando is six years in, three trucks deep, and on the path to four and five. Devin runs sales with a medical-field precision built from 15 years of patient communication. Carolina is the CMO — walking into chambers of commerce, rubbing elbows with sheriffs and judges, and getting invited to Jackie Siegel's house through pure relationship-building — and she only officially stepped into the business a year ago.
This episode is about what it actually looks like to build a moving company with your spouse. The real version. Not the highlight reel.
Recorded live at the Moving Legends Retreat in Orlando, host Mark Hirschi and co-host Steven Reed sit down with Devin and Carolina Clayton for one of the most honest and human conversations.
"It wasn't until we defined our roles and respected each other in them that we really saw clearly." — Devin Clayton
This is the episode for every mover building a business with someone they love — and feeling the weight of both.

Most operators think scaling means more locations. More trucks. More everything.
On this Movified Mondays, host Mark Hirschi sits down with Tim Wicker for one of the deepest operational conversations in Movified history — covering what actually breaks when companies scale too fast, why culture matters more than any SOP, and the one mindset shift that separates operators who build something lasting from ones who just build something big.

1 hr 5 min - He Built a $66M Moving Empire on One Rule: Never Hire Anyone Who... | ft. Larry O'Toole Owner of Gentle Giant Moving
What does it actually take to build a moving company that does $66 million a year across 26 locations — and still has the same culture it started with?
For Larry O'Toole, founder of Gentle Giant Moving Company, the answer has never changed: hire the right person first, never lower the bar, and build a culture so strong that Harvard graduates show up wanting to move furniture just to be part of it.
This is one of the most important conversations in Movified history.
Recorded live at the Moving Legends Retreat in Orlando, host Mark Hirschi and co-host Steven Reed of Big League Movers sit down with Larry O'Toole — the man who built Gentle Giant from a one-truck operation in 1980 into one of the most respected moving companies in America — for a conversation about culture, leadership, and what separates a moving company that scales from one that collapses under its own growth.
