The Mix That Builds Phoenix with John Casey
In this episode, Tim sits down with John Casey, owner of GFT Ready Mix, the last large family-owned concrete supplier in Arizona. With four locations across the Valley and a fifth on the way, John shares how GFT has scaled in the land of corporate giants while maintaining a hands-on, people-first approach.
You’ll hear about:
Why ready mix concrete is more than just rocks and cement—it's a logistics game
The importance of proximity in a perishable product industry
How GFT differentiates itself with exceptional customer service and deep community roots
What’s ahead for GFT, including vertical integration through mining operations
The importance of culture, leadership, and investing in people for long-term success
Why John believes every business—and life task—is a project
This is a grounded, insightful conversation about entrepreneurship, growth in Arizona, and staying true to your values in a competitive industry.
