Flintco Talks traveled to St. Louis for a rare joint conversation with John Alberici (Chairman Emeritus) and Greg Kozicz (Chairman) of Alberici Corporation. They share insights on building enduring culture, navigating transformative acquisitions, and creating sustainable growth through people-first leadership. This long-form conversation captures nuanced, unscripted wisdom rarely accessible in the construction industry—proof that Flintco Talks continues filling a real need for authentic leadership dialogue.

Key Insights:

• Leadership Transition Strategy: How promoting from within created a discipline-focused culture that drove operational excellence

• Acquisition as Investment Philosophy: The breakthrough moment when John’s simple question “Why don’t you just buy what you want?” transformed their Flintco acquisition approach and created a multi-billion-dollar enterprise

• 60-Year Hiring Responsibility: Understanding that every intern hired today influences two generations of future employees, making cultural screening more critical than skills assessment

• Work-Life Integration Over Balance: Creating an environment where employees can “live who they are” through their work rather than sacrificing personal values for professional success
