From Truck to Top: How Ryan King Built Two 5-Star Moving Companies

In this episode, Wade welcomes Ryan King, the powerhouse entrepreneur behind two of North Carolina's most respected moving companies—Dogwood Moving in Raleigh and Brightleaf Moving in Durham.

 

From hauling furniture as a college athlete to leading two thriving brands, Ryan shares how he broke the mold of traditional career paths to build something truly meaningful. With a boots-on-the-ground work ethic and a people-first mindset, Ryan opens up about the real lessons in leadership, culture, and business growth that helped him turn a local startup into a multi-million-dollar operation—twice.
