On the latest episode of Driven & Co., host Justin Gray chats with JT Marino, CEO of Tuft & Needle - a Phoenix-based company that pioneered the disruption of the mattress industry. At T&N, JT leads the R&D, product development, architecture, design, and software development teams. He is a passionate storyteller, facilitator, and teacher, inspiring T&N's most challenging and disruptive projects.

In this episode, JT fills Justin in on his background in software, the terrible mattress buying experience that led him to co-found Tuft & Needle and why Phoenix is an ideal place to build and grow a company.

“We started with a goal to disrupt the mattress industry in its entirety,” JT said. “To be perfectly honest, it’s really simple. We’re just doing the opposite of what all the other mattress companies are doing.”
