The Big Table
Tony Giarratana: From Near Bankruptcy to Downtown Empire
I sat down with the man who changed the skyline of an entire city — and trust me, you’ve never heard a story like Tony Giarratana’s.
From getting squeezed out of his own $250K deal to becoming the developer behind Nashville’s most iconic towers, Tony doesn’t just build buildings—he builds legacy. In this exclusive interview, I get the full breakdown of how he bet on himself, got rejected, and kept going until the city had no choice but to pay attention.
Want to know how real developers think? How deals fall apart, then come back even bigger? Or how one conversation with a mayor flipped everything?
We cover all of it.
Inside this video:
- How Tony went from leasing office space to shaping a city
- The deal that nearly broke him — and what he learned
- Why big vision beats big money every time
- What separates real developers from guys who just talk deals
- The mindset it takes to push through politics, risk, and betrayal
If you're ready to think bigger, build stronger, and go deeper… this is your blueprint. Let's go.
