Bullseye Breakdown Ep. 109 - Tony Vitals- From DJ to Design Icon... The Turntable That Turned Heads

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”)
