  • Episode 37. Limitless Networking
    Jul 12 2025

    Vlad Ivanov, Founder and CEO of Limitless Moving & Storage, joins us to talk about the power of networking to build a business from the ground up.

    About Vlad and Limitless Moving & Storage:

    Vlad is Owner & Founder of Limitless Moving & Storage located in Walpole, Ma.
    He is a United States Army Veteran.

    Limitless Moving & Storage did it’s very first moving job in early 2017. The company’s founder, Vlad Ivanov, started the company back then after successfully running Boston Small Moves with just a 1999 Ford Econoline van. Vlad found a niche for single-item moving job such as moving furniture like couches, dressers, beds, and pieces of artwork from one location to another.

    As a founder of the two moving companies, Vlad and his team immediately realized that personal and attentive customer service typical led to a lot of referrals. Business soon grew so fast that just the Ford Econoline and a small staff of well trained and capable movers needed to expand.

    Today, Limitless Moving and Storage focuses on moving, packing, delivery and even donation delivery. Boston Small Moves handles smaller moves. Both companies serve all of Greater Boston, MA and beyond.

    Both teams of movers are carefully vetted and really know how to pay attention to every detail, including listening and responding to customer needs.

    Vlad is humbled to lead both businesses. He sure knows how to work hard and pay attention to customers. He often personally goes on moving jobs to hear what customers needs and makes sure he and his team deliver, literally.
