There’s luxury and then there’s the Tom Florio Standard.

In this electrifying episode of The Million Dollar Branders Podcast, Justine sits down with Tom Florio—a visionary and media titan who didn’t follow influence, he created it. 

Tom Florio is the founder and CEO of ENTtech Media Group LLC, a media-tech firm merging entertainment, media, and technology under one powerful, cohesive umbrella. Shortly after launching ENTtech in 2017, Florio made waves by acquiring the cultural icon PAPER Magazine—redefining modern media once again.

With over three decades of elite experience, Florio's legacy includes serving as Publishing Director at Condé Nast, overseeing titles like Vogue, GQ, Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, and Teen Vogue. He also served as Senior Advisor to Theodore J. Forstmann on fashion and later became CEO of Advanstar Fashion Group, where he shaped fashion trade shows and launched the iconic documentary series The Tents.

His impact was globally recognized when Business of Fashion (BoF500) named him one of the 500 Most Important People in Fashion and appointed him to its Board of Directors in 2013.

Tom speaks about elegance, editorial, and enterprise—pillars that every brand wants but few can embody. He talks taste, timing, and total market domination, revealing the sharp distinction between those who chase clout and those who build institutions.

Because every brand wants attention.Few deserve it.Tom Florio explains why.

This episode is for the bold, the brave, the visionaries and the builders who know that real influence isn’t bought, it’s built brick by brick.
