☎️ Si tu negocio factura US$250K+, agenda tu llamada estratégica gratis → https://xiola.co/

Si eres nuevo en mi canal, mi nombre es Alexiomar Rodríguez, soy abogado y socio fundador de Xiola. Somos la firma legal para la nueva industria de la música y el entretenimiento. Trabajamos con empresarios y negocios. Gestionamos sus contratos y propiedad intelectual, y le damos respuestas claras en 24 horas, para que se enfoquen en crecer su negocio sin que legal los atrase. En 2025, conseguimos $5M para nuestros clientes en adelantos, inversiones, y compraventa de catálogos.

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 hemos facturado más de $1M. 

Hoy: Nuestros abogados son de Puerto Rico y Estados Unidos. Trabajamos de manera 100% remota. Y cobramos de dos maneras: tarifa fija y comisión. 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
