Larry O’Toole, owner of Gentle Giant Movers, author of “Heavy Lifting” -575

Most people agree that moving is pretty stressful. Whether home or business, nearby or across the country, handling a move is a project that you want to leave to the professionals. Meet Larry O’Toole, the founder of the Gentle Giant Moving Company. From his humble beginnings in the Boston area to locations in a dozen states, Larry has built a solid business without compromising his family values. And he has written about it all in a fine new book called “Heavy Lifting: Building a Business with a Giant Heart.” It is part leadership lesson, part memoir, and definitely inspirational. And there are some fun stories about adventures in the moving industry. Yes, some involve pianos. Enjoy!
