Ep. 95 - Thriving in Your Hustles & Embracing the Artist's Activism with Singer/Songwriter/Activist Malynda Hale

Thank you for checking us out and joining the “League of Hustle”, aka our community of artists and entrepreneurs!

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break! We're thrilled to bring you our final guest interview for Season Three, and what better way than to sit down with someone who is a TRUE multi-hyphenate talent: Malynda Hale! In brief, some of Malynda's hustles include being a Singer, Songwriter, Co-Owner of a Music Agency and Indie Record Label, Podcast host of #WeNeedToTalk, a Social Justice Activist, a Worship Leader...and more! 

"I just automatically saw that if I got too comfortable here I didn't think I was going to  be able to achieve the goals I had."

Malynda's journey into the Hollywood Hustle began when she received a double major in Opera & Musical Theatre from Azusa University, and after living and performing in Los Angeles for only 2 years, she moved to New York City and then Chicago for a number of years and shares the differences between these three major markets. We also break down her introduction to music and what her preparation process for performing is like. 

"I think we need to just be happy of our own things and our own accomplishments, and what's meant to be ours will be ours in our own time and what's meant to be somebody else's will be their's...Turn all of that off - mind your business, tend to your garden, and do the best that you're supposed to be doing."

Malynda shares her perspective about the danger many artists face of comparing themselves to other's successes, and Michael opens up about dealing with that from an actor's perspective and his approach of "Practicing Gratitude" to celebrating others' success leads to a more positive Hustle. Malynda then defines what the "Hollywood Hustle" means to her, of how it is the constant fight to establish yourself in some way and to make an impact. Michael then dives into a discussion with Malynda about #WeNeedToTalk, in which she and her co-host Karmel Humphrey dive into deeper conversations that go beyond social media about current events, hot topics in politics at large. Michael share's a clip from #WeNeedToTalk to give listeners a preview of what kind of conversation League of Hustle could expect to hear on Malynda's show. Team Hustle and Malynda talk about the role artists play in the world of politics, and Malynda shares the many ways people can create change in their communities. 

"There are just endless opportunities to give back in that way. People can't feel afraid to go forward and do things.
