Episode Synopsis



In this episode of "Too Big to Fail," we're joined by Project Executive Matt Senter, who shares his powerful journey from a family steeped in Chicago's construction world to his impactful rise in Dallas. He gives us an uncensored look at his career, detailing how he navigated the immense challenges of the post-COVID supply chain and made a courageous "leap of faith" to join Moss.
Matt explains why transparency and accountability are non-negotiable, and how they fuel a "one big team" culture where everyone, from estimators to field crews, is set up for success. This conversation is a masterclass in leadership, covering the ripple effect of good mentorship, the importance of building genuine relationships, and the powerful insight that sometimes, you just have to "be ready to grind."
