"I Make Spaces For Weird People To Feel Good" — Maria Stavrou | find your frequency

Maria Stavrou has been an optical engineer, a circus aerialist on three world tours, a therapist, and a festival producer. She’s visited 52 countries and built everything from cabaret shows to 15,000-person events. The thread through all of it? Creating spaces where people feel safe enough to be themselves.

In this episode, Maria talks about why a 20-year plan was the only stability she had growing up in foster care, what circus performers can teach you about trust and community, the Harvard study every artist and founder should know about, and why intention beats strategy when you’re building something people care about.

Si eres nuevo en mi canal, mi nombre es Alexiomar Rodríguez, soy abogado y socio fundador de Xiola. Somos una firma legal boutique para la industria de la música y el entretenimiento. Trabajamos con empresarios y dueños de negocios. Les ayudamos a proteger sus derechos, negociar y cerrar contratos de seis y siete cifras. En 2025, conseguimos $5M para nuestros clientes sin sacrificar control, ni libertad.

Cómo llegué aquí…

0–21: Músico, productor, guitarrista y cantautor (+10,000 oyentes mensuales en Spotify).
22: Graduado con Altos Honores en Economía (UPRM).
24: Trabajé con jueces (federal y estatal) y firmas de litigio corporativo.
25: Graduado con Altos Honores en Derecho (UPR).
26: Renuncié a una de las top 3 firmas de Puerto Rico para lanzar Xiola.
27: Facturé mis primeros $100,000.
28: Fundé Seed Academy, escuela de music business en español.
29: Escribí un best seller en Amazon (De Artista a Empresario Musical) y superé $400K en revenue.
30: Me mudé a EE.UU., levanté $250,000 con Techstars + Warner + VC, y lancé Flou, software de contratos musicales ($50,000 en ventas).
31: Comencé a dar charlas internacionales.
32: Seguí el consejo de mi mentor, Alex Hormozi. Cerré Seed Academy y Flou. Me enfoqué en Xiola y facturamos más de $500,000.

Hoy: Nuestra firma ha cerrado sobre $5M en adelantos e inversión en la industria de la música y el entretenimiento. Somos 100% bilingües (español e inglés). Trabajamos con artistas, empresarios e inversionistas americanos e hispanos. Cobramos de tres maneras: tarifa fija, comisión, y suscripción. Así es como hacemos nuestro dinero. No vendemos cursos.

La industria musical es dura. Pero si naciste para esto, lo sabes:

La vida sin música sería un error.

No te quites,

Alexiomar

The Legal Scheme That Keeps Artists Enslaved to Labels | Indie or Major

The Legal Scheme That Keeps Artists Enslaved to Labels | Indie or Major

Most people believe major labels steal master recordings through illegal scams, but the truth is that it is a 100% legal, highly strategic transactional business model that leverages artist psychology, contractual debt structures, and personal service labor laws. In this video, we break down the exact strategy labels use to hold assets past the 35-year mark, why record deals are legally distinct from banking loans, and how you can apply these business frameworks—or protect yourself from them—to build a scalable, highly profitable music catalog.

00:00 – Let’s Talk
00:27 – Disclaimer
00:57 – #1: Conducting The Heist
01:43 – 1. Know the Mindset of the Artist
02:57 – 2. Hold the Collateral (Masters) Past 35 Years w/ Debt
05:27 – 3. Help = Money
06:54 – #2: Is this legal?
09:55 – #3: Ok, I’ll do it! But I need the capital.
12:28 – The Challenge
