He’ll Move Your Couch, and Keep Your Secrets

He’ll Move Your Couch, and Keep Your Secrets

Adonis Williams has been a mover in New York City for 20 years. He says he's moved about 3,500 people, and with each move, he catches a glimpse of a life in transition. There are the happy moves: getting a bigger place, couples moving in together, kids going off to college. There are also the sad moves: divorce, breakups, eviction. Adonis says he talks with his customers about it all. "You become the bartender or the taxi driver that they need to vent to." In this episode, Adonis explains why he didn't charge money for the first five years of being a mover and what he's observed on the job about relationships, family, and the cost of living in New York.

You can hear more Adonis in this episode, where he talked with one of his moving clients, and you can reach Adonis for a move on his website.
