From the streets of the Bronx to the shelves of the Grammys, Tony Vitale’s journey is anything but typical. Now the CEO of Vertical Grooves, he’s taken a floundering company and built a design-forward audio brand that’s redefining how we see—and hear—vinyl.
In this episode, Tony and I dive deep into:
Why vinyl is more than nostalgia—it’s a movement
The tough calls behind scaling a product with soul
Avoiding the biggest mistake in manufacturing
How to create something people love, not just like
And what it really takes to bring art, story, and sound together
🔥 Plus: his wild take on NFTs (without saying “NFT”)
