It all started with an old refrigerator. As I was sitting around a campfire in Australia, a friend said he hauled away someone’s fridge for a hundred bucks. It seemed so easy: take away people’s junk and get paid to do it. I thought it was the perfect business opportunity as a college student, and this early idea was the first iteration of my company The Junkluggers. I didn’t think that this ...

“Thou shalt not hire friends and family.” It’s one of the sacred foundational Business Management Commandments. As a new business owner, I heard it repeated often: hire friends and family at your own risk. Fortunately, I’ve never been one to stick to conventional wisdom, so I went ahead and hired my brother and several childhood friends, raising quite a few eyebrows along the way. Hiring friends and family isn’t a decision to ...

THE ANTI-OFFICE The Junkluggers stands apart from other franchises. The corporate team is business savvy, energetic, and always ready to celebrate. Sometimes, that means handing out Starbucks gift cards to employees who have made a customer particularly happy. Other times, it means putting work aside, turning on the karaoke machine, and belting out a few songs together. “Stress less,” and “The team that plays together stays together,” are pretty good representations of the Junkluggers mindset ...

I love bringing my dog Otis to work. He is an 11-year-old, 30 pound mix of yellow lab, beagle and unconditional love. Everyone loves him – especially the ladies. When people are stressed in the office, they come pay Otis a visit in one of his two favorite locations: when he isn’t sprawled out across the middle of the office carpet, he lounges casually cool atop his recycled king chair, the nicest (and only) lounge ...
