***SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO OUR FINALE EPISODE IN FULL, STOP AND LISTEN TO IT FIRST***

As you heard in our finale our amazing Producer, Co-host and Editor Michael Lutheran has decided to step away from the show indefinitely to more fully pursue is acting career.  As a special thank you and show of support, Daniel put together a surprise love bomb montage with messages from former guests and friends.  On the finale, Michael played the tribute through his phone, so that we could hear his reaction, but we wanted to make sure everyone had a clear version if they wanted to hear the love bomb, reaction free.  This also includes a new message not heard in the finale and a quick thank you from Michael himself.  

Please go to Michael's IG (@MichaelLutheran) and show him tons of love and support as he goes into the new year pursuing his acting career more fully.

Get ready for our longest( and most emotional) episode yet!

In today's Season-ish Finale, hosts Daniel Tuttel and Michael Lutheran are joined by O.G. Team Hustler member Kel Tirados to look back on the roller coaster that's been 2020. Kel was Hollywood Hustle's original podcast editor back in Season One until he left the show to pursue his dreams of living in Japan. 

Kel shares what his "Japan COVID-19 Hustle" has been in 2020 - from being one of the first countries hit by COVID-19 to the intense measures he and his wife went through to deliver their newborn baby, but how through all of these challenges Kel finds himself the happiest he's ever been in his life! 

Then Daniel, Michael, and Kel reflect on the origins of the Hollywood Hustle Podcast - the successes, the successful failures, and the conversations had in-between to ensure that this podcast could surpass over 100 episodes! We then have a deep conversation about the strategies friends must establish when embarking on an entrepreneurial venture together to ensure not only the success of that business but more importantly, how to keep the friendship going as well. 

***SPOILER ALERT***

In the second half of this episode, Michael Lutheran shares that he will be stepping away from HHP as co-host and producer to focus on his acting career and personal hustle. Daniel shares a touching tribute for his friend, one that will leave you in tears (of happiness we promise) and inspired by knowing that it's never wrong to pursue your dreams! 

Do not fear, Hollywood Hustle Podcast WILL CONTINUE in 2021! Until then, we'd love to thank ALL the guests who have shared their incredible stories with us over the years and our League of Hustle for being there every step of the way!

In our previous episode, we caught up with a former guest to talk about his own mental health journey this year. Well in today’s episode, we’re keeping up with the #MentalHealthHustle as you meet Katie Miles. Katie is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who offers individual, couples, and family therapy, and she is also the co-founder of HabitBetter, the website & app that is designed for building life-changing habits. 

Katie helps Daniel and Michael unpack the YEAR that has been 2020. A year that many could sum up in one word: LOSS. No matter where you may be listening to us from today, we’ve all been going through an extremely difficult year. At the time of this episode's release, over 283,000 people have died from the coronavirus in the United States, and worldwide we have lost a staggering 1.54 million people. Locally in Los Angeles, on December 8th we had over 10,000 new cases confirmed, the highest number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic. Many of you haven’t been able to see your closest friends or family as you’ve made the sacrifice of not seeing those you love to ensure their safety. Perhaps you are one of the many thousands of people who have lost their financial security due to the sheer loss of jobs in this country, and for many, the loss of that financial support means a loss of purpose. 

Katie Miles shares how we can cope with this sense of loss and how to navigate transitional periods. She then clarifies the differences between grief and depression. Our co-host Michael Lutheran revisits his experiences facing depression after sustaining a head injury during Season One of HHP, and Daniel shares his observations of the growth that has been made. Katie Miles then shares news about the website and app she has helped develop with her brother, Sean Miles, called Habitbetter - "the premier learning institute that turns centuries of research...into approachable courses for creating habits to meet personal goals."  

Let the Hustle Begin! 

Katie Miles' Top 3 #HealthyHustleTips  

1. Learn how to have Self-Compassion 
2. Values Clarification 
3. Recognize Your Wins

Our next episode is our Quarantine Finale, and we would love to hear from YOU (AKA our League of Hustle) on what your values are as we approach a new year! How have your values changed over the course of 2020? Have you experiences any "Happy Failures" this year? We'd love to know!

In Episode 100 (!!!) we're continuing the important discussions of 2020 with returning guest from Season 2, Gregory Crafts. In Episode 76, Greg and his wife Jenn shared with us their journey into the LA Theatre scene and the hustle of not only creating and running your own theatre company but also managing theatre venues in Hollywood. Now in 2020, theatres like Studio-Stage have had to close indefinitely until the COVID-19 coronavirus is under control. Like many of you, Greg is an artist and an entrepreneur, but the events of this year have forced him to adapt. As he openly shares with us, it has been no easy task, and the toll it's taken on his mental health is one that I believe we can all relate to. But what’s more, is that Greg shares with us the power of sharing our experiences to uplift others and finding pleasure and joy in the simple pleasures of life to get us through this difficult time.

In our previous episode we highlighted the “Election Hustle” with the Executive Director of the LA Democratic Party, Drexel Heard, and Activist/Singer Malynda Hale, and since the release of that episode we experienced the longest Election Week ever but in the end it’s official that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be our next President and Vice President.  We'll share our reactions about this incredible news in our 2020 Finale in a couple of episodes – but those of you who voted, who mobilized, who volunteered, who had the difficult conversations with your families, friends, and communities, who donated, who protested, who hustled and helped register others to make their voice heard – THANK YOU for participating in this election the secured the largest turnout in a US election ever!

Our Host, Daniel Tuttel, has officially launched his new business venture: Hustle Podcasting, the premiere Podcast Production & Management service. If you’ve been kicking around the idea of starting your own podcast but not sure how to take it from idea to releasing it to the masses, that’s where Daniel can help. Follow him out on Instagram @Hustle_Podcasting and check out his website at www.HustlePodcasting.com to Book a FREE 30-minute strategy call with Daniel to find out how to unleash your voice.

This week, we are honored to welcome the Executive Director of the Los Angeles Democratic Party, Drexel Heard and Singer, Songwriter and Activist Malynda Hale to the show.  Daniel, Malynda and Drexel discuss the what "Defund the Police" truly means, systemic racism, what it means to be an "ally" to the Black Lives Matter movement, and how we can grow from our past.  Drexel shares the important Propositions on the ballot in Los Angeles and how we must look at our politicians as humans, not perfect statues.  This is an intense, meaningful and informative chat you do not want to miss.

In 2018, a record number of people voted in the U.S. Midterm Elections.  Now, in 2020, we are on pace to break the record again, in an Election that, if eligible, you can and should take part in.  It's been said over and over again, but this may be one of the most important, if not, THE most important Election of your lifetime.  Not just on a National level but also on a state and local level.  Every 2 and 4 years we get the opportunity to choose: the path this country takes, how we advance as a nation.  We vote for the future of our economy, our planet, our sustainability on the planet and for the equality of all people.  

So please, forget the candidates for a moment and just think of your family, your friends, your neighbors and the others waiting to see what their future holds.  Don't vote just for a candidate but vote for their futures.  We get to vote to save lives, make things better, to look at ourselves, admit our past imperfections and learn from them.  We get to choose not to ignore our awfulness of the past, but to embrace it as a fire for change.  Black Lives Matter, Gender Equality, LGBTQ+ Equality, Global Warming, the almost 230,000+ lives lost and those who are still suffering due to this once in a century pandemic.  This year we vote for the soul of a nation, we vote to save lives, for love, kindness and empathy.  2020 has been immensely challenging, but today we have the chance to embrace hope and the "better angels of our good nature".
