In this podcast episode, Jonathan Levine, the founder, and CEO of Master & Dynamic, shares his journey of creating a luxury audio brand inspired by his son's love for music. Launched in 2014, the company emphasizes design and craftsmanship, prioritizing quality materials and acoustic performance over technology hype. Levine discusses the importance of brand consistency and trust among luxury consumers, highlighting the need for a long-term vision in the industry. He reflects on the gradual success of Master & Dynamic, emphasizing the role of customer connections and word-of-mouth in promoting the brand. The conversation concludes with thoughts on the future of luxury, focusing on the desire for fewer but better products.
Jonathan Levine is a serial consumer products entrepreneur. After a short career on Wall Street and after graduating from business school with a major in finance, Jonathan started his first company, Power-To-Go, which became a leader in 12V-powered automotive aftermarket accessories.
He then went on to found Team Products International, a portable power equipment and lawn & garden company, selling products under the licenses Coleman; Coleman Powermate, and Sunbeam. His last non-audio business was Lancer & Loader Group where he became an early leader in battery-operated LED lighting products under the Rite Lite brand. All three businesses had successful exits.
Levine launched the design-driven luxury audio company Master & Dynamic in May 2014. From a mere idea sparked by the products his then-teenage sons were using to a coveted brand with an increasing number of products, Master & Dynamic has been built on the same principles that drive Mr. Levine: design, technology, craftsmanship, creativity, and collaboration. With Mr. Levine at the helm, Master & Dynamic has partnered with many of the most respected and iconic luxury brands in the world including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Celine, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Mercedes/AMG, Ermenegildo Zegn, and Leica Camera.
Mr. Levine earned an MBA in Finance from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business in 1987 and an undergraduate degree in English from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984. During his time at The University of Pennsylvania, Levine was a member of the Nationally ranked Lightweight Men’s Crew team and an officer of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He did this while simultaneously working full-time during his sophomore, junior and senior years.
Levine is the father of two sons and stepfather to four children. He is an avid cyclist, runner, swimmer, and endurance athlete. In July 2024 he and his son-in-law set a Guinness World Record running 24 Half Marathons in 30 days.
