About MGTV System Studio

👋 Hi! I’m Marissa Garza. I am a Chicagoland based systems strategy consultant. I help neurodivergent founders, educators, and creatives, ship calm, repeatable launches in six weeks - tool agnostic, camera-optional, and built for your brain.

Why “MGTV Systems Studio?”

TV has always been my connection point with others. Growing up outside the "cool" crowd, I found that television created common ground—everyone watched it. To this day, I still podcast about TV as a way to connect.

Throughout my career, I've loved creating systems that help teams and individuals truly shine. In a recent corporate role at a VR content creation startup, I discovered how the filmmaking process could translate into operational support across any industry.

MGTV Systems Studios was born from that blend: story‑obsessed, systems‑savvy. We treat your launch like a production: there's a script, a call sheet, dress rehearsal—and a calm backstage so you can shine out front.

What I actually do
(in plain English)

Think of me as your Executive Producer of your project. I translate buzzy ideas into a plan humans can follow, build only the tech you truly need, and keep the pace humane. You make the creative calls; I keep the production moving.

Ways to work together:

  • Fit Check (15 min free call) - Checking for vibe and viability. I want to make sure we’ll make a good team from the start. If it’s a go, we’ll book next steps.

  • Storyboard Session (60 min, $125) - Rent my brain for an hour to get unblocked and leave with a tiny, usable plan.

  • Production Meeting (90 min, $497, Blueprint for a DIY launch) - You leave with:

    • Priorities Memo (your next 10 steps)

    • Traffic-light Timeline

    • Definition of Done

    • Roles and Rhythms

    • Tech Stack Decisions

    • QA/Go-Live Checklist

  • Launch Ops Sprint (6 weeks, $4000 payment plans available, Build WITH You) - We plan, build, rehearse, launch, and debrief— together. Calm delivery, zero-last minute chaos.

  • Season Pass (Retainer) - Ongoing ops, monthly KPIs, and a monthly meeting to keep momentum going.

The Greenlight Framework

A TV inspired path we’ll use in every project!

  • Find out what happens when we start talking about your capacity, systems, energy, and sensory needs and start getting REAL.

  • Here’s where we cut what’s not working and keep what serves you.

  • We co-design a people centered systems that fits your brains and your team.

  • We implement, test, and iterate. There may be heat, but I’ve got you, Chef.

  • You get documentation, maintenance rhythms, and a re-runnable playbook.

What I believe (and build around)

Your brain is valid.

Your needs are real.

Systems should accommodate reality—not bully it. No shame. No hustle theatre.

Calm beats chaos, always.

Tool‑agnostic on purpose. We pick the simplest stack that supports you.

Accessibility is strategy. Camera‑optional, captions on, visual timelines, plain‑language docs.

Accommodations aren’t indulgence—they’re leverage.

The longer backstory (why I do this)

I’ve been the person who opens the laptop and wants to cry. I’ve sat in rooms where great ideas died because the backend was a dumpster fire. And I’ve watched teams turn messy drafts into stories that land—by having a process.

So now I help founders with buzzy, beautiful brains stop blaming themselves and start changing the system they’re in. We get under the hood, name what’s really broken, and build around capacity—so you can finally ship the work you care about.

TV + me (the fun part)

I’ll always be talking about what I’m watching next.

I’ve podcast about TV and pop culture since 2022.

Want recs or to nerd out? Ask me about my current watchlist or favorite series.

I’ll also want to always know what your watching and will happily go on TV tangents with you!

Access & inclusion

Tell me what you need: camera‑off, captions, breaks, flexible scheduling, voice‑note options, sensory preferences. I’ll meet you there.
