Lou Gramm has been one of rock's greatest voices for 54 years. Foreigner's finally in the Hall of Fame and he's celebrating an amazing legacy with a deserved farewell tour happening now and a new solo album called Released. The album is made up of stray songs from his heyday that were unfinished until now and a few new songs done in the style of AOR's 80s peak. Lou joins us this week to discuss these things as well as his current relationship with Mick Jones (things are good right now), his health, Foreigner's well-documented finances, his faith, and lots more. Lou has left an indelible mark on rock music and has always been an example of how good the genre can be. He deserves all the respect there is!  www.lougrammofficial.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

John Kalodner, famous for his long beard, white suit and magic ears, is one of the most famous and influential non-musicians in music history. He's the famous A&R man that brought us groups like Foreigner, Asia and Survivor and guided the rebirth of legends like Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Journey and Cher (which he has some salty feelings about). Maybe only Clive Davis has brought bigger songs and careers to life over the last 50 years. John joins us this week to spill on dozens of the artists he's worked with including Heart, Wang Chung, Kenny Loggins, REO Speedwagon, XTC, Billy Idol, Berlin, Madness, GnR and tons more. We didn't even bother including music this time - just let the stories flow. It's an instant classic!  www.johnkalodner.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

What happens when you achieve the kind of success most people only dream about… but still feel empty inside?In this deeply moving and inspiring episode, I sit down with Machan Taylor to talk about inner healing, identity, authenticity, and the tension between outward success and inner struggle. Machan is a vocalist, recording artist, performer, composer, educator, and author whose extraordinary career took her to the highest levels of the music industry, performing with legendary artists including Pink Floyd, Sting, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, and George Benson.You can learn more about Machan at Machan Taylor's official website and connect with her on Facebook and Instagram.Machan shares her remarkable life story beginning in post-war Japan, where her parents met while her father was serving as a soldier during World War II and her mother performed as a singer in an officers' club. Japanese was Machan's first language, but when her family immigrated to the United States when she was just four years old, she experienced a profound sense of loss. Suddenly she was separated from her home, her culture, her language, her grandmother, and the people she loved most.As she tried to adapt to life in America, she also faced discrimination and judgment because of her Japanese heritage. Feeling like she didn't fully belong, Machan learned to bury her emotions and hide parts of herself in order to survive.Years later, she found herself touring the world with Pink Floyd, surrounded by private jets, luxury hotels, and cheering crowds. From the outside, it looked like she had everything. But internally, she struggled with deep feelings of emptiness, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome. Like many people carrying unresolved pain, she turned to alcohol and drugs to numb the hurt.Machan's powerful new memoir, Naked Out Loud, is a courageous invitation to authenticity and vulnerability. It is the story of reclaiming her voice, embracing her identity, and learning that true healing comes not from perfection or performance, but from honesty and self-acceptance.In this conversation, Machan speaks with extraordinary grace and wisdom about race, trauma, silence, reinvention, healing, and the courage it takes to say: “This is the real me.”After an incredible performing career, Machan returned to school to earn both her bachelor's and master's degrees, and she now teaches voice and performance at New York University. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to rediscover yourself, heal old wounds, and step fully into your authentic voice.In this episode, we discuss:The emotional impact of immigration, loss, and cultural displacementThe hidden pain behind outward successMasking, imposter syndrome, and the fear of not belongingAddiction as an attempt to numb emotional painThe courage to be authentic and vulnerableHealing from trauma and reclaiming your identityThe importance of finding and using your true voiceReinvention, personal growth, and inner healingIf you've ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, or if you've struggled with the disconnect between outer achievement and inner peace, this episode will deeply resonate with you.Please share this episode with someone who may need encouragement, healing, or hope today.Listen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

What happens when a search for identity across continents ends in healing an old childhood wound? In episode 274, singer-songwriter and educator Machan Taylor shares how a culture-straddling upbringing fueled a music career alongside Sting, Pink Floyd, and Foreigner—and became the seed of her memoir, Naked Out Loud.

She has released two solo albums, contributed to film and TV projects including American Beauty and Boyhood, and shared stages with artists from Aretha Franklin to Billy Joel. She holds a master's in Theory and Composition from NYU, where she now teaches at the Clive Davis Institute, and is the author of the memoir Naked Out Loud.In this episode, Machan Taylor shares her cross-cultural upbringing between Japan and a New Jersey town where she often felt like she didn't belong, and how music became her anchor through a difficult childhood. She traces her path from teenage gigs and the Glenn Miller Orchestra into decades of touring, and opens up about the unglamorous realities of life on the road. She describes how psychedelic-assisted therapy became the catalyst for her memoir, transforming a childhood wound into conscious healing, and reflects on returning to school in her fifties to pursue teaching. She closes by sharing her hope to expand into speaking engagements that help others do the same healing work.Connect with Machan Taylor: WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeApple MusicLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.
