Built to Scale: How Joe Scaretta and Moses Carrasco Are Transforming the Skilled Trades

MasonMade Ventures Co-Founders Joseph Scaretta and Moses Carrasco were recently guests on Passage to Profit, a nationally syndicated radio show that airs weekly across 38 radio stations nationwide and ranks in the top 3% of podcasts globally. Produced by iHeartMedia and taped in New York City, the show highlights entrepreneurship and innovation and is hosted by patent and trademark expert Richard Gearhart, alongside Elizabeth Gearhart, startup entrepreneur and Chief Marketing Officer at Gearhart Law.

During the interview, Joe and Moses spoke candidly about their journey as business partners of more than 20 years, reflecting on the realities of early entrepreneurship including financial risk, delayed paychecks, relentless persistence, and yes, plenty of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Coming from complementary backgrounds, Joe with deep experience in big-box retail operations and corporate environments, and Moses as a highly skilled tradesman, the co-founders identified a critical gap in the market: national brands needed dependable, accountable trade partners, yet the contractor ecosystem was fragmented and inconsistent. By pre-vetting vendors, investing in operational rigor, and prioritizing communication and accountability, they built scalable platforms capable of delivering consistent service nationwide.

This commitment to solving real operational problems in underserved skilled-trade industries has always been central to their work and their current ventures are no exception. Through Vision Infrastructure Solutions, Joe and Moses are focused on elevating service delivery across three essential trades: fire suppression, vertical transportation, and material handling. In these sectors, demand is high, service quality is often inconsistent, and strong, reliable partners are urgently needed.

Grounded in the belief that mastering the fundamentals of business by investing in people, systems, and accountability creates lasting value, Joe and Moses continue to build businesses that serve clients, teams, and communities alike.
