Listen "From Dirt Roads to Digital Innovation: How Justin Mannina Is Rebuilding the American Dream"
Episode Synopsis
In this inspiring episode of American Potential, host David From, Regional Vice President at Americans for Prosperity, sits down with entrepreneur and builder Justin Mannina—CEO of Rexcon Enterprises, Vice President of JB Pinnacle Group, and Co‑founder of My Truck Boss.
Justin opens up about his journey from working grueling hours on construction sites to walking away from a secure six‑figure job to launch multiple successful companies. He shares the tough early years—when he and his partner didn’t pay themselves for five straight years—as well as the milestone moment of building America’s largest carbon-capture plant and major infrastructure projects in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
But this episode isn’t just about concrete and highways—it’s about people. Justin discusses his passion for hiring high school graduates, giving second chances to formerly incarcerated individuals, and defending hardworking DACA recipients who have become cornerstone team members. He also reveals how his love for problem-solving led him to co-create an app that brings real-time tracking and efficiency to dirt-hauling operations still buried in paperwork.
Justin’s story is a modern blueprint for how grit, mentorship, and faith in people can create opportunity—not just for individuals, but for entire communities. Whether you're a parent questioning the traditional college path, a business leader seeking to empower your team, or simply someone who believes in the power of second chances, this episode is a must-hear.
