ABOUT MOVIFIED

Our Mission

At Movified, our mission is to elevate the Moving and Storage industry through knowledge sharing and community building. We believe that success in this dynamic industry comes from connection, continuous learning, and the exchange of real-world insights. Through our podcast platform, we aim to create a space where business leaders can share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs, empowering others to excel both professionally and personally.

Meet the Founder

Mark Hirschi brings over a decade of experience in the moving and storage industry to Movified. As a successful entrepreneur and industry veteran, Mark has navigated the unique challenges of building and scaling businesses in this sector. His passion for mentorship and industry advancement led him to create a platform where knowledge could flow freely between seasoned professionals and newcomers alike.

With a background in business development and a keen understanding of operational excellence, Mark recognized that the most valuable insights often come from those who have walked the path before. His vision for Movified stems from a genuine desire to see others succeed and to elevate the standards across the entire moving and storage ecosystem.

How Movified Started

Movified was born from a simple observation: despite being a cornerstone of the economy, the moving and storage industry lacked a dedicated space for knowledge sharing and professional growth. In 2022, after years of witnessing both the struggles and triumphs of fellow business owners, Mark decided to create the resource he wished he had when starting his own journey.

What began as informal conversations with industry colleagues quickly evolved into a structured podcast platform. The response was immediate and enthusiastic—business leaders were eager to share their stories, strategies, and lessons learned. Listeners found tremendous value in hearing authentic accounts from those who understood their daily challenges.

Today, Movified has grown into a multimedia platform and community hub where moving and storage professionals can find inspiration, practical advice, and connections that drive both personal development and business success. Through our podcast episodes, social media presence, and industry events, we continue to fulfill our founding vision: creating a more connected, informed, and successful moving and storage industry.

The Latest Episode

Movified

Movified is the podcast for ambitious home service business owners who want to grow smarter, lead stronger, and build brands that last.

Hosted by Mark Hirschi, Movified brings real conversations to the forefront—featuring moving company owners, contractors, restoration leaders, home service entrepreneurs, and the spouses and partners who help power these businesses behind the scenes.

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.
