We don’t just move
dirt. We move people.
We don’t just move dirt. We move people. Hosted by Safety Director Angel Tavera, Too Big To Fail is the official podcast of Moss Utilities. This isn’t your standard corporate update. It’s an unfiltered look at the blood, sweat, and triumphs that happen before the pipe ever hits the ground.
Why the name? It’s not about ego; it’s about responsibility. When you are building the infrastructure that powers communities and supporting the livelihoods of hundreds of families, failure is not an option. Our mission is too big to fail. From the laborers in the trench to the executives in the boardroom, we believe that every hard hat tells a story.
We’re digging deep into the lives of our team members, sharing lessons on mental toughness, career growth, and the family-first culture that makes us who we are.

The Culture Builder
We are an employee-owned company (30%) through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This ESOP aligns interests because when the company succeeds, the employees benefit as well.
This arrangement fosters greater collaboration among team members while also promoting dedication to the company.
Abraham breaks down why soft skills matter in hard construction and how we are building a legacy by treating every new hire like a long-lost relative. If you want to know how we build elite teams that stick together when the pressure is on, this is your blueprint.
Earning Your Stripes
“I was never an operator. I earned it the hard way.”
There are no shortcuts in the ditch. Juan Sanchez’s story is the definition of “earning your stripes.” Starting from the absolute bottom as a laborer, Juan embodies the grit required to survive and thrive in the Texas heat.
This episode strips away the glamour and focuses on the grind. Juan opens up about the reality of field work, the loyalty forged between crew members, and the pride that comes from looking back at a finished job site knowing you built it with your own hands. It’s a raw testament to the idea that at Moss, your background doesn’t matter—only your work ethic does.
