Then, special guest Jon Balzer from Fraser Valley Movers joins the conversation to share some honest, behind-the-scenes insight into the moving industry. From shady pricing tactics to damage control, Jon lays it all out — including why he’s kept his company intentionally small to deliver top-tier, consistent service clients can actually count on .
