We Outside (But With Purpose)

We Done Did the Good Cookie

A little late? Yes. Worth the wait? Also yes. Did we finish the whole season anyway? WE DONE DID THE GOOD COOKIE...IT'S TIME TO GO HOME! [If you don't know that reference, here's a treat: https://youtu.be/CMkYw4dp_NI?si=M6JUJworsoJlvFVz [https://youtu.be/CMkYw4dp_NI?si=M6JUJworsoJlvFVz]] In our Season 1 finale, we’re talking endings: the emotional kind, the creative kind, and the kind where your sibling forces you to finish what you started out of sheer principle. We look back at the wild highlights of the season, the lessons we didn’t know we were learning, and the clips that absolutely must go in the montage. We also ask each other: ✨ What do you hope folks understand about you now? ✨ What do you want to bring into Season 2? If you’ve been rocking with us through all 12 episodes—thank you. For real. Let us know what you want in Season 2, what you loved, and what should never, ever see the light of day again.

We Outside (But With Purpose)

In this episode, Courtney and Tyrone dive deep into what it really means to build and sustain community — not the hashtag version, but the daily practice of showing up, supporting, and staying human together. You unpack the difference between being in proximity and being in relationship — the slow, intentional work of building circles that feed your creativity, your sanity, and your purpose. There’s laughter, side-eye, some light chaos from Matcha the dog 🐾, and honest talk about what community costs and why it’s still worth it. You talk about how community isn’t a moment, it’s a muscle — one that needs to be stretched, rested, and used with care. From creative accountability to emotional boundaries, from shared projects to shared meals, this episode becomes a love letter to the people and spaces that make the work possible. By the end, the episode lands on a powerful truth: community isn’t what you have — it’s what you build, again and again.

Disappointment is Not Fatal

Disappointment hurts, but it doesn’t have to take you out. In this episode of Hustling with Harges, Courtney and Tyrone unpack the sting of disappointment—creative, professional, and personal—and how they keep showing up anyway. They talk about missed opportunities, projects that didn’t land, and the lessons that only show up when things fall apart. From laughing through the L’s to redefining success on their own terms, the siblings remind us that disappointment is part of the creative process—not a sign to quit. This one’s full of humor, honesty, and that signature Harge mix of insight and side-eye.

We Learned Good: On Creative Training and Education

In this episode of Hustling with Harges, we dive into the messy, magical, and sometimes maddening world of creative education. Tyrone shares what it meant to come up through for-profit art schools—finding brilliant collaborators while navigating institutions that cared more about tuition than students. Courtney reflects on her own journey through higher education, where honing her craft went hand-in-hand with confronting racism, building organizations, and finding community in the margins. Together, we ask: What is the real value of a creative education? How do you make meaning out of exploitative systems, gatekeeping, and debt while still honoring the skills, relationships, and resilience they helped you develop? And what do we wish we’d learned sooner about sustaining an artistic life? We also shout out a couple of podcasts that remind us we’re not alone in wrestling with these questions: 🎧 Lemme Fix It-Episode About Courtney's Acting School Experience [https://shows.acast.com/lemme-fix-it/episodes/acting-school-the-black-reps] 🎧 Work Shouldn't Suck [https://open.spotify.com/episode/5s7RFcX86Qon7TDUpuyDEw?si=VBk6gr44R1iX6RJHwK_tRw]: Courtney's Appearance Pull up a seat in the creative living room—we’re talking lessons learned, tuition paid (literally and figuratively), and the teachers who shaped us along the way.

Humility is for Suckaz

Courtney and Tyrone set modesty aside to imagine what life looks like when the basics are covered and there’s more than enough to go around. They get into the details of what they’d actually do with abundance—what they’d buy, how they’d live, and which over-the-top choices feel the most tempting. Along the way, they talk about the TV shows, movies, and cultural moments that shaped their ideas of luxury, while calling out the humor and contradictions in how we dream about money. It’s a conversation that swings from practical to ridiculous the only way we know how: the Harge way.
