Ep26 - From 0 to Millions: Lessons from Legends of the Moving Industry (PART 1 OF 2)

What does it really take to build a multimillion-dollar moving company from the ground up?

In this episode of Shift Happens: Beyond the Boxes, recorded live at the 2025 Legends Retreat, host Jason Bergenske sits down with two industry powerhouses:

👉 Eric Wirks – Founder of Wirks Moving & Storage

👉 Steven Reed – Founder of Big League Movers and Ready Roles

Together, they reveal the unfiltered truth behind their success—sharing the early days of hustling moves with MapQuest printouts, hiring their first teams, and pushing through massive setbacks like financial wipeouts, bad partnerships, and family emergencies.

You'll hear:

✅ The real stories behind their first million in revenue

✅ What almost broke their businesses—and how they bounced back

✅ Why firing yourself from the truck is the key to scaling

✅ How to lead through chaos and build a culture that wins

✅ And yes… how drinking the Kool-Aid helped Steven transform Big League's entire culture

Whether you're just getting started or scaling past 7 figures, this episode is packed with hard-earned insights, laughs, and leadership gold.
