Student Athletes to Largest Moving Company in California with Aaron Steed, Co-Founder of Meathead Movers

Author: Luke Bayard: Entrepreneur, Business Strategist and Techie June 23, 2016 Duration: 51:44

Today's guest is someone whose story is both that of success and doing the right thing for people who need it the most.

Aaron Steed and his brother started Meathead Movers as a way to make money while going to school and stay in shape for sports. Since this aha moment, they have strived endlessly to utilize the braun and brains of student athletes to help people move. With over 300 employees, MeatHead Movers has grown to become the largest independent moving company in California. Additionally, Meathead Movers provides free moving services to victims of domestic violence.

In this interview we address the following topics and questions:

  • Sticking with your gut feeling with your brand name.
  • How teamwork in sports translates to creating a quality team in a business.
  • How to properly train the next generation of leaders.
  • How to create visibility for your brand without spending a dime?
  • Why is customer experience so important?
  • The more all in you go, the better you're going to feel.

Luke Bayard, an entrepreneur and business strategist with a deep technical background, hosts Cult of Startup Podcast. Here, the polished facade of success is set aside to make room for the real, unvarnished origin stories. Each conversation is a journey back to the chaotic and formative early days, where guests recount everything from horrible miscalculations and embarrassing stumbles to those rare, awesome breakthroughs that changed everything. Luke’s approach is deliberately open-ended and nothing-off-limits, digging into the specific reasons-often messy and unexpected-behind an entrepreneur’s eventual trajectory. The result is an hour that feels less like a formal interview and more like hanging out with insightful startup buddies, where the exchange is as loose as it is informative. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid education in business building, one grounded in lived experience rather than theory, where the lessons are found in the raw details of what actually happened.
