  • Top Alcoholic Beverages to Kick Off 2023: ALB Vodka, MurLarkey, Canpagne Wine Co, Dos Hombres, 818 Tequila, Proper Twelve, & DE-NADA

    As the new year is upon us, people are looking to celebrate their accomplishments and memories. From holiday parties to new year parties with work colleagues, friends, and family there is no shortage of celebrations to attend this time of year. Especially now as we are further removed from pandemic externalities, people across the globe are getting together with their loved ones in restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels, as well as their homes enjoying each other’s presence. With the festive season boost and the return to normal in general, American consumer demand for premium spirits grew as US supplier sales were up 12%. With an environment ripe for new brands to gain market share, let’s look at the fastest-growing and most exciting alcoholic beverage brands to check out in 2023.

    Number 1: ALB Vodka

    Affectionately dubbed, “your favorite bartender’s favorite vodka,” ALB (/ā’el’bē/) Vodka is made in Albany, NY, but for the people. Taking NYC by storm last summer, ALB Vodka has dramatically grown its reach across the country this past year. The premium handmade gluten-free vodka is the fastest-growing spirit in the US as it’s garnered favor with industry decision-makers, cultural tastemakers, and the everyday consumer. People are resonating with ALB’s corn-based vodka not only because of its signature smooth taste, achieved by an innovative charcoal filtration regimen — and the famous NY water — but also because of its allure and affordability. Despite its lack of marketing, ALB Vodka has been authentically stamped by both celebrities and bartenders without any insincere promotions. ALB Vodka can be seen on the shelves of 5-star hotels like the St. Regis, Michelin-starred restaurants like Le Bernardin, top-rated bars like Refinery Rooftop, IYKYK speakeasies, and the most exclusive private clubs like Casa Cipriani as it draws a crowd. As vodka itself is enjoying a renaissance, ALB Vodka is the go-to vodka for the drink of the moment, the espresso martini – replacing Tito’s. ALB Vodka is the perfect spirit to introduce, or gift, to friends and family before the rest of the world catches on this upcoming year, and without breaking the bank. We expect ALB Vodka to be the most disruptive spirit of 2023.

    Number 2: MurLarkey

    Established in 2014, MurLarkey is an award-winning spirit brand boasting 100% all-natural gin, whiskey, bourbon, and vodka products all of which are hand-crafted in the USA. Among the 40+ awards bestowed on MurLarkey’s spirits, the Virginia-based brand was honored as the 4th best distillery in the US in 2021 by Travel and Leisure. As a pioneer in sustainably sourced ingredients, MurLarkey’s innovative Farm to Flask initiative is as impactful as it is clever; MurLarkey only uses raw grains and corn sourced from local Virginia farmers and never uses artificial ingredients. MurLarkey’s ImaGINation™ Gin won gold at the 2020 New York Intl Spirits Competition for its proprietary blend of 12 All-Natural Botanicals. MurLarkey’s Smokehouse® Whiskey won the gold medal at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its mouth-watering smoked BBQ nose followed by a silky smooth finish. Among many great all-naturally flavored whiskeys, MurLarkey’s Salsa Borracha Whiskey won the gold medal at the 2022 ADI International Spirits Competition for its unique ‘mezcla de’ tomatillos, ancho chilies, cumin, coriander, poblanos, jalapenos, scallions, cilantro, fresh corn, red onion, shallots, limes, oranges, green bell peppers, tomatoes, and whiskey. With a wide array of additional spirits to try in 2023 from the Birthright Bourbon (2022 New York International Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner) to the Divine Clarity Vodka (2x International Gold Medal Winner), we are excited to see what the new year has in store for MurLarkey and its newly expanded 25,000-square-foot distillery and tasting room. 

    Number 3: Canpagne Wine Co.

    Canpange Wine Co is an exciting new brand flipping the wine industry on its head while maintaining the class the drink is typically associated with. The brand was founded by wine industry veterans with a combined 30 years plus of experience between the two of them. David DesForges and Ovid Battat are capturing consumer attention with the brand’s pithy name as well as premium Bubbly Rose and Mimosa products. The Bubbly Rose has notes of fresh ripe strawberries and tropical fruits with much more carbonation than other canned sparkling wines due to a proprietary canning technique. All of their products are certified kosher, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free. The Peach Mimosa is refreshingly light with plenty of bubbles and not overly sweet like many other canned cocktails and uses only premium wine and fresh fruit juice. Three more mimosa cocktails are set to be released in the spring with Passion Fruit, Blood Orange, and Wild Berry flavors rounding out the lineup. Canpagne Wine Co. products are not only great tasting, but they are the most convenient way to enjoy sparkling wine on the go. Canpagne Wine Co. does not use added sugar or artificial flavors and is committed to using grapes sourced in the USA from sustainably farmed and family-owned vineyards. 2023 is sure to be a big year for Canpagne Wine Co.

    Number 4: Dos Hombres

    Dos Hombres is the popular mezcal brand founded by Brian Cranston and Aaron Paul. The two celebrities and ex co-stars are following in the footsteps of other celebrities endorsing or founding spirit brands. Similar to vodka, although not quite to the same extent, mezcal is a popular drink of choice in the cultural zeitgeist at the moment. Handcrafted in the hillsides of a small village of Oaxaca, Mexico, Cranston and Paul leverage their star power to help bring the authentic Dos Hombres mezcal to the market. Dos Hombres is currently resonating with the highly active mezcal community, as well as creating mezcal converts, with its Espadin, a 6-year-old Espadin agave, and its limited-edition Tobala, a 25-year-old Tobala agave, products. Dos Hombres follows a very particular and authentic harvesting, cooking, milling, fermenting, and distilling process that leverages the knowledge of multiple generations of mezcal producers, or mezcaleros, utilizing the nutrient-rich soil of the Sun Luis del Rio region of Oaxaca. We expect Cranston and Paul to take this great-tasting traditional mezcal to new heights in 2023.

    Number 5: 818 Tequila

    With a commitment to sustainability and a few key celebrity endorsements – as well as an incredible taste – 818 Tequila is one of the most popular tequilas in the country right now. Produced in Jalisco, Mexico on a distillery that runs on biomass and solar power, 818 offers award-winning Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo tequilas. Additionally, 818 is capturing consumer, and celebrity, attention with its premium reserve product. Eight Reserve is a masterful blend of Añejo and Extra Añejo tequila aged up to 8 years in French and American barrels. Beyond its award-winning taste, Eight Reserve’s highly unique bottle, beautifully crafted in the shape of an ‘8’ or infinity symbol, is making waves throughout the culture as people are saving the bottle and want to be photographed with it similar to Clase Azul’s bottles. Consistent with the brand’s strong sense of responsibility and pride regarding its positive impact on the community and environment, 818 Tequila’s popular Eight Reserve ceramic decanter bottle is handmade by local artisans in Pachuca, Mexico. As more people become aware of the brand, we are excited to see what 2023 has in store for 818 Tequila.

    Number 6: Proper Twelve

    As our only whisky on the list, you may have heard about Proper Twelve because of its association with famous MMA fighter Connor McGregor, but it caught our attention because of its classic taste. McGregor is certainly helping the brand gain visibility, but the Irish superstar is a perfect brand representative for the traditional Irish whiskey company. Proper Twelve’s triple-distilled, fine-grain, single-malt whiskey is resonating with both sides of the pond for its smooth taste featuring hints of vanilla, honey, and toasted wood. Proper Twelve is the perfect melange of celebrity endorsement and authentic Irish milling, masking, fermenting, and distilling. With a far-reaching social media presence and popular merch, Proper Twelve is threading the needle with a coherent brand vision, featuring signature cocktails like the ‘Proper Caic’ and the ‘Proper Shirley.’ We expect Proper Twelve to continue growing in 2023.

    Number 7: DE-NADA

    Founded by Danny Neeson and Adam Millman, DE-NADA Tequila partners with 5th-generation distillers in Jalisco Mexico to produce their Blanco and Reposado tequila products. DE-NADA is one of only 65 Tequila brands that are currently Confirmed Additive Free. With its name punning on “of nothing,” DE-NADA is committed to offering only pure tequila. Further, it has achieved CarbonNeutral® product certification in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol. DE-NADA is crafted, from field to bottle, at The Vivanco Estate in the Highlands of Jalisco. Millman and Neeson — once New Orleans-based college friends — started their dream project of creating delicious tequila in 2017. They began tasting and traveling, and eventually, their palates led them to NOM 1414, the Vivanco family’s artisan distillery ‘Mi Ranchito.’ The Vivanco family and company share the founders’ values of quality, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. With major plans for growth, 2023 is set to be a big year for DE-NADA.

  • ProjectYou Empowers Young Professionals To Build Careers They Love

    If you have college students or young professionals in your life, you have probably heard them say things like, “I don’t know what I want to do with my life,” or, “I have an idea of what I want to do career-wise, but I have no idea how to get there.” Or maybe you’ve just seen them struggle to find a career that they’re excited about. 

    Young people are entering a job market and workplaces that are more dynamic and complicated than ever. Online job applications mean they are up against hundreds of other people and often never hear back from the majority of the places they apply to. Mass layoffs reduce their job security. These challenges aren’t insurmountable, but young people need help navigating them. 

    With ProjectYou, a category leader in the ever-burgeoning career-coaching space, college students and young professionals don’t have to face these challenges alone. They can work closely with former senior executives, who have experienced every level of the professional landscape, and learn from their insights and experiences. ProjectYou’s unique offering provides a roadmap for anyone in the first 15 years of their career looking to create a clear path to a professional future they’re excited about.

    The former executives at ProjectYou have experience leading at the seniormost levels, from the likes of UPS, Merrill Lynch, Lockheed Martin, GE, and Estée Lauder to name a few. These advisors coach clients in a way that thoughtfully caters to the needs of each individual. As Mark Linsz, co-founder and senior managing partner of ProjectYou told us, “Our advisors are incredibly accomplished, but they also care deeply about their clients.” Each coaching engagement kicks off with an assessment and debrief to strategically explore career opportunities. “Time is then spent on putting together a plan on what you want to do and how to get there.”

    ProjectYou boasts an impressive team of advisors that work directly with clients. These executives have spent their careers working at the highest levels of their respective industries.

    As treasurer at Bank of America, Mark saw real hope for future generations of early career professionals through rotational programs that fostered career growth. In his words, the individuals in the program led him to “believe that this generation of early career professionals is the greatest generation yet.”

    Mark co-founded My Next Season with his business partner, Dr. Leslie Braksick, after leaving Bank of America. Their mission was to provide support to executives seeking purpose in their post-corporate careers and lives. ProjectYou grew out of their desire to work with young professionals and realizing that there is a tremendous void in the marketplace for providing young professionals with the support to help them answer their most critical career questions. After a former client approached Mark and Leslie and asked if MyNextSeason could provide similar coaching for his son who was in his early 30s and at a crossroads in his own career, a pilot of one turned into many more and, eventually, ProjectYou as we know it today. “Our goal in founding [this company] was to support young professionals in finding and advancing a career they love, ” Mark shared.

    When people are unhappy in their careers and don’t feel connected to their work, it’s vital to focus on the root causes of their dissatisfaction and create a plan to find something meaningful and fulfilling. Mark says that they, “Encourage clients to take a holistic focus and look at their ‘whole self’ to realize that their interests, passions and the type of work that they want to do don’t have to be mutually exclusive.” ProjectYou works for young professionals because their 1:1 coaching and assessments consider all the elements that make every client unique in their needs and goals. This approach makes it possible for advisors to create an incredibly focused action plan with each client.

    Regardless of the ways that engagements are customized and shaped to meet desired client outcomes, there is one essential quality that ProjectYou promotes in all participants. “We support a variety of clients from college to early career,” Mark said. “The one common thread across all of them is the confidence that gets built – whether that’s building out the skills to pursue your next promotion in your current role, or being able to tell your story in a way that helps you crush the interview process – knowing how to do those things well gives our clients confidence and changes their lives.” 

    Their list of transformed clients and accompanying testimonials is staggering. One such example is Caroline. She had long felt that she never got the opportunities she applied for – clubs, sports teams, and internships. In working with her advisor, she fine-tuned her interviewing skills and learned how to present her previous experience in a concise and compelling way. Coming out of ProjectYou, Caroline came across an amazing opportunity that she was excited about, and ultimately applied. The organization reached out to her and not only offered her the position, but created an expanded role for her. She reached back out to the ProjectYou team and said, “Not only did I feel great about the interview, but I was confident that I had crushed it. I couldn’t help but think it was all ProjectYou giving me that confidence.” This type of feedback is not out of the ordinary.

    As the career landscape continues to evolve, many uncertainties remain. However, as the ProjectYou team has seen, when emerging professionals can work with an experienced strategic partner, build confidence, and prepare a career plan that they feel great about, the sky’s the limit.

I developed my photography skills after Joined Carrot films as a cinematographer and photographer. I used to click BTS, Street images, and Portrait pictures on my phone but I always took it seriously and with utmost sincerity.

  • OTT Platforms – What Should You Consider in 2023?

    People are turning to video streaming services for various reasons – they appreciate entertainment content, educational videos, and breaking news. The number of viewers is growing as well as the number of companies and organizations launching their own OTT platforms. 

    If you are thinking about creating your video streaming service, you are in the right place. We are sharing some tips for you to find the OTT solution for video streaming you need. 

    What is an OTT Solution?

    An OTT solution is software that allows a content provider to create, launch, and manage their video streaming service. They allow arranging a video delivery to multiple viewers via an Internet connection. As a result, consumers can watch videos on any device, including Smart TVs, smartphones, and laptops, as long as they meet the demands for access.

    OTT solutions allow content creators to stream videos in many formats. For example, the Setplex solution gives TVALB the ability to deliver VOD content, catch-ups, TV programs, and live streams. 

    VOD (video-on-demand) is one of the most popular content formats among viewers. It allows streamers to avoid scheduling and content limitations. People now decide by themselves what to watch and when to watch. 

    VOD content is prerecorded and stored on servers. It is available at any time, and users need to click on a play button to start watching it. VOD is never live, as live streams happen in real-time. However, if saved and published on a service, it becomes a VOD piece of content. 

    To avoid misunderstanding, let’s give a brief overview of OTT. OTT is a distribution model. It helps deliver any media content directly to viewers’ end devices. 

    Features to Consider When Choosing an OTT Solution

    There are many professional OTT solutions available in the market. To find the right platform for your video streaming needs, it is better to do thorough research on the features that you can take advantage of. There are things that we recommend you pay attention to.

    Scalability 

    Scalability is an essential function of video streaming solutions that will ensure smooth video delivery. It allows services to use the number of resources required for the current situation. As a result, the platform will be able to handle peak usage. 

    The platform needs to avoid disruption – that’s why all components need to be scalable. A content provider will probably be more confident that their service is operating well and delivers the best experience to audiences. 

    Monetization

    The OTT solution you choose should maintain all video monetization models. You may not need all of them now, but it is good to have them for the future. The common models are advertising, subscriptions, and a pay-per-view. They give multiple opportunities for a hybrid revenue-generating approach. 

    OTT analytics

    Tracking OTT analytics data is paramount for any business. Content providers will be able to understand their service performance, the preferences of viewers, and the technical operation of the platform. 

    That’s why it is essential to have the right technology to collect and process large amounts of data. OTT analytics will help you find ways to optimize and constantly enhance service for your viewers. 

    Final Thoughts

    Choosing an OTT solution for a video streaming business is an important decision to make. It is better to clarify your business goals and research what the market has you to offer. 

    Multiple essential features can be profitable: monetization capabilities, analytics, scalability, DRM, multi-platform, and others. Decide what is more crucial for your business and obtain an appropriate solution.

  • Implementing ESG in Cleanroom Environments

    ESG (environmental, social, governance) standards should always be at the forefront of production. In this day and age, we all need to be thinking about the effect of production on the world around us and consider more than just our environmental impact. Social factors should also be a priority including the wellbeing of workers and their communities. 76% of consumers say they will stop buying from companies that treat the environment, employees, or the community in which they operate poorly, suggesting that the overall success of a company can be determined by implementation of ESG.

    Take for example AFC; a fabric production company which is working to meet these ESG standards everyday in a number of ways. One way workers’ safety can be improved is by producing more efficient workwear thus increasing safety and hygiene. Governance standards also need to be a key part of the decision-making process to ensure the production of quality products. Lastly, using environmentally friendly and durable material to reduce waste production is of paramount concern. 

    Social Impact  

    Especially for use in cleanrooms, garments which are functional and protective are essential. From cleanroom caps to shoe covers, attire is designed to protect products and strengthen the yield of manufacturing as well as protecting the users. In tough workplace environments, comfort becomes an essential part of health and safety. This is why it is important to consider the social impact of products in the decision making process before fabrics even begin manufacturing. Through developing attire that protects both the product and the users we can improve overall production. 

    Utilizing advanced technology, the social impact of production is augmented by making sure that workers are as comfortable as possible when using garments in cleanroom conditions. Not only do the fabrics need to be functional, but they also need to be designed for comfort. In fact, it was found that organizations with the highest employee satisfaction had ESG scores 14% higher than the global average. Consequently, the productivity of workers increases with increased comfort providing long term benefits for both workers and employers. 

    Environmental Impact

    Aside from health and safety, another part of ESG is the effect of production on the environment. 80% of the world’s largest companies are reporting exposure to physical or market transition risks associated with climate change. Thus, reducing waste is essential. This can be achieved by producing reusable polyester which is durable and requires less energy for both production and maintenance. Waterless dyeing can also be used to reduce water waste right from the beginning of the production process. For example, AFC has implemented anhydrous dyeing as a way to reduce water usage. 

    With more than 200 companies having signed The Climate Pledge, a pact to reach the Paris Agreement goal of net zero carbon, the effect of production on the environment is becoming a real concern for businesses worldwide. Acting now will be beneficial for years to come. 

    Improving the Quality of Workplaces with Revolutionary Fabric Production 

    The value of ESG standards shows through efficient manufacturing and higher standards of wellbeing in the workplace. The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) found that when leadership “engaged in measurable efforts to reduce health and safety risks among employees” companies achieved as much as triple the average return rate, between 204-333% returns, suggesting that prioritizing health and safety has a direct effect on profits. 

    For AFC, this means designing material to withstand tough standard sterilization protecting both the wearer and products. This material is also more durable and more environmentally friendly. Also, focusing on high quality workplace standards, fabric is more readily designed for maximum comfort using functional yarn to improve wellbeing. Similarly, the exceptional air permeability of these new fabrics makes them functional as well as comfortable for the wearer. Many garments utilize air permeability to let sweat dissipate more quickly ensuring optimum comfort. Especially in cleanroom environments, workers have to wear full body protective gear which can become uncomfortable. This is why it is important to focus on making protective garments as comfortable as possible, even when they need to be used in challenging conditions for long periods of time. 

    The social impact of changes made to garment manufacturing makes a substantial difference to workers by improving human rights, health and safety and community relations. 

    For example, CL01 fabric produced by AFC enhances the use of sweat dispersal technology to provide a cooling function for the wearer in a range of garments. As well as being functional in preventing electrostatic hazards, the yarn is designed to absorb sweat keeping skin dry. It is also durable enough to withstand multiple washes which in turn reduces waste. In this way, the fabric makes a difference both socially and environmentally to improve the wellbeing of workers, their communities and beyond.

    Conclusion

    As well as environmental issues, it is important to remember social and governance related factors in the production of materials across industries. AFC is working to make sure that they produce high quality fabrics at low cost to the environment by making garments that last. Yet, there is more to quality production than merely reducing waste.

    With regards to social factors, the comfort, safety and human rights of the people using these fabrics is always at the forefront of the production process. AFC believes that fabric should be made for the wearer and always optimize working conditions. In these ways, implementing ESG standards improves overall work quality at every level. 

  • Lingerie Types – How To Choose Lingerie For Your Body Type?

    We can tell you all about the many varieties of lingerie and how they vary from regular lingerie. This article will go through the many varieties of lingerie available. This will allow you to pick the one you adore right away. So don’t put yourself up any longer. Scroll down the page and read this article. Come on, people!

    What Is The Definition Of Lingerie?

    Lingerie is an indulgence in comparison to undergarments. It’s an indulgence that every female, single or not, deserves! You’d be astonished at what a little item of clothing can do, given that it isn’t even visible (except to your partner, maybe). It makes you feel nice, cheerful, and self-assured.

    Delicate materials like lace, chiffon, rayon, ruffles, feathers, glow in the dark lingerie and anything else that made your intimates sensual were fashionable in the early nineteenth century. Initially, lingerie was only a status symbol. Then, for special occasions such as weddings and anniversaries, ladies began to splurge on it. Glow in the Dark Bra may still occupy a particular place in certain people’s hearts, but it is also a must-have and an investment that requires no explanation.

    Confused about which lingerie will look best on your body type? Continue reading to learn more!

    Lingerie Selection For Your Body Type:

    1. Lingerie For Hourglass Figures

    Wear lingerie that draws attention to your already attractive physique if you have the conventional “36-24-36” shape. With the same breadth of shoulders and hips and a narrow waistline, anything looks well on this body type. You may also wear a Glow in the dark thong or a high-leg panty with a lace bra.

    2. Triangle Body Type Lingerie

    Big hips are popular right now, and the triangle body shape is defined by them. The goal is to make your physique appear more proportional and balanced. A lace negligee that is tight over the breasts but drapes down around the hips is an excellent choice. A bustier is another excellent way to bring attention to your breasts. You may also try on a matching outfit with a ruffled bra and pantyhose or a bandeau bra that will help to even out your shoulders and hips.

    3. Rectangle Body Type Lingerie

    A rectangular body is characterized by an athletic shape with no identifiable curves. Corsets are the greatest option for this since they tighten at the waist. They accentuate curves and make you seem sensual. Wearing push-up bras and bustier lingerie may also draw attention to your breasts.

    4. Inverted Triangle Body Type Lingerie

    This body type is defined by broad shoulders, and what you choose to show off is all up to you. If you have flatter buttocks, a teddy will draw attention away from it. If you want a more conservative appearance, matching cami sets are another alternative.

  • Guide to Hire Best Removalist in Australia – Detailed Info

    Movers and packers are companies or individuals who specialize in the process of packing, loading, and transporting household or commercial goods from one location to another. They typically provide services such as packing materials and supplies, loading and unloading of goods, and transportation. Some movers and packers also offer storage solutions, as well as specialized services for fragile or high-value items.

    When selecting a mover and packer, there are several factors to consider:

    • Experience: Look for a company with a proven track record and experience in handling similar moves to yours.
    • Licensing and insurance: Make sure the company is licensed by the state government and carries adequate insurance to protect your belongings in case of damage or loss.
    • Reputation: Check customer reviews and ratings to get an idea of the company’s reputation and level of service.
    • Cost: Get quotes from multiple movers and packers and compare the services and costs to ensure you’re getting the best value for your money.
    • Communication: Choose a company that is responsive and easy to communicate with, this will help you to avoid stress.

    It’s also a good idea to get on-site estimates and ask if the company provides binding or non-binding estimates.

    It’s important to do your research and not just go with the first mover you find. It’s also recommended to check the company with the Better Business Bureau and read customer reviews before deciding.

    Quotation

    A quotation is a document provided by a mover and packer that outlines the cost of their services. It typically includes details such as the cost of packing materials and labor, the cost of transportation, and any additional services offered such as storage or insurance.

    When requesting a quotation, it’s important to provide the mover and packer with as much information as possible about your move, including the size of your home or office, the number of items to be moved, the distance of the move, and any special requirements you may have. This will ensure that the quotation accurately reflects the services and costs required for your move.

    It’s also important to ask for binding or non-binding quotation. A binding quote is a fixed-price contract, which means the price quoted will be the price you pay, regardless of any additional services or unexpected costs that may arise. A non-binding quote, on the other hand, is an estimate, and the final price can be higher than the quoted price.

    It’s recommended to get quotations and hire top removalists in Melbourne. Compare the services and costs to ensure you’re getting the best value for your money.

    Why to go for a licensed mover and packer?

    Licensed movers are companies that have been issued a license by the Australian State government to legally operate as a moving company within the country.

    There are several reasons why it’s important to choose a licensed mover:

    • Safety: Licensed movers are required to comply with federal safety regulations, which means they have the necessary equipment, vehicles, and training to ensure the safe transport of your belongings.
    • Insurance: Licensed movers are required to carry a certain level of dedicated insurance to protect your belongings in case of damage or loss during transport. Their terms and conditions are strict unlike others.
    • Professionalism: Licensed movers must meet certain standards and requirements to be issued a license, which means they are more likely to be professional and experienced in the industry.
    • Protection: If you hire an unlicensed mover, you will not be protected legally and may not be able to file a complaint if something goes wrong.
    • Legal compliance: Hiring a licensed mover ensures that the company is operating legally and following the rules and regulations set by the state.
