Summary

Cameron Doody is Co-founder and President of BellHops, the largest and fastest growing tech-enabled platform in the moving and delivery space. Bellhops grew from an idea to help college students move onto campus. Bellhops began in 2011 as a dorm-moving service in a small college town. While Bellhops essentially started as a two-day-a-year operation at the end of each semester, the company soon realized it was onto something bigger: there's a certain magical synergy between the enthusiasm and stamina of college students and the challenges of moving. *** For Show Notes, Key Points, Contact Info, & Resources Mentioned on this episode visit here: Cameron Doody Interview. ***
