It takes just one person to believe in the vision you are building.
Using that mindset, Mag Rodriguez, the founder & CEO of EVEN, has been able to create a platform that helps artists sell music to fans before it hits streaming services. He shares his journey from managing artists straight out of high school to leading music initiatives at a venture fund, and finally launching EVEN to make the industry more equitable for creators.
Exploring the future of fandom, why EVEN focuses on nurturing tight-knit communities instead of chasing scale, and how the platform’s pay-what-you-want model and global-first approach are changing the way artists monetize were shared in this episode.
Mag also opens up about leadership, resisting early acquisition offers, and why impact—not just profit—drives his vision.
