In this powerful episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Gabriel “G” Arias Maduro, the creative force behind The Marina Effect — a Miami-based music movement born out of federal prison, discipline, and radical personal transformation.
G shares his full, unfiltered life story: growing up in Miami, entering the drug world at a young age, selling weed and MDMA during the height of the club and festival era, and eventually being swept up in a federal conspiracy case that led to an 11-year federal prison sentence. What followed was not destruction — but reinvention.
This episode dives deep into federal prison life, conspiracy charges, the DOJ, home confinement, and how incarceration became the catalyst for spiritual growth, discipline, music, and entrepreneurship. G breaks down how prison became a “training camp,” where he discovered music, journaling, meditation, fitness, and ultimately helped form the foundation of The Marina Effect, a band and lifestyle brand now gaining serious momentum in Miami’s live music scene.
