Laura McHolm – From Atari and Apple to Co-Founder of Northstar Moving, THE Eco-Luxury Moving Company for A-Listers and Celebs

Laura McHolm on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

Laura McHolm is the Co-Founder of NorthStar Moving Company, and my amazing guest on the show today.

Featured in Ladies’ Home Journal as one of 16 women making the world a happier place and one of the few women at the helm of a moving company, Laura McHolm had an unlikely start as Co-Founder and Marketing Director of NorthStar Moving Company.

NorthStar Moving Company is known as THE moving company for rockstars, A-listers and celebrities in Los Angeles. Laura has broken the long-held notion of moving and storage as burly men doing one job – lifting heavy things. NorthStar Moving has been honored with more awards for service than any other moving company providing “eco-luxury” and elevated basic moving and storage services.

As Co-Founder of NorthStar Moving, Laura has been consistently nominated for many awards including “CEO of the Year,” “Businesswoman of the Decade,” and “Philanthropist of the Year.” Also, she snagged the “Trailblazer of the Year” award, which you’ll find out why in this episode. She’s ultra-organized, basically stream-lining life. (She even has a special method for folding a bath towel.)

On today’s show, Laura reveals how her luxury moving company was born, how she makes decisions, how to delegate, and her best business action steps.

Her energy is infectious and I know you’re going to love her!
