LOS ANGELES, Nov. 8, 2024 -- Today, VEEPS and VEEPS Studio announce its latest celeb-packed original content series, Side Hustles. Side Hustles premieres on Nov. 8, 2024 with a four-episode debut, delivering a potent combination of entrepreneurialism, determination, business know-how and insider info on some incredible brands, brought to life by the narrative of their celebrity founders — from actor and author Cameron Diaz and her brand mogul cofounder Katherine Power to actress and TV personality, Tamera Mowry-Housley and her husband, Adam Housley. Fans will be treated to insider reveals, narrated by renowned journalist and the voice of MTV Cribs, SuChin Pak, on how they run their businesses and personal lives, while those with an entrepreneurial spirit will be served inspiration and tangible tips they can apply to their own side hustle, brand or business endeavor. The series is available exclusively on Live Nation Entertainment's streaming platform, VEEPS.

Each episode is an up-close-and-personal encounter with entertaining megastars talking candidly about their pride and joy passion projects and if you watch closely, you'll leave feeling like you've received a private mentorship for your side hustle from some of the world's best brand creators. Side Hustles is directed by Jason Berger and executive produced by Berger, Amy Laslett and Mark J. Marraccini for Kids at Play and Benji Madden, Joel Madden, Kyle Heller and Bobby Gomez for VEEPS.

Good Charlotte rocker, serial entrepreneur and executive producer, Benji Madden, on the series: "I've always felt that artists across all mediums, genres and cultures are natural brand builders. They tap into their instincts daily and make decisions based on their gut feelings, often starting trends, influencing movements and shifting culture. To me it makes perfect sense as to why so many of us are natural entrepreneurs and it's inspiring to be able to look deeper into some of those artist-entrepreneur businesses across different corners of art and entertainment."

Each 20 minute episode pairs together two brands with a mix of interviews, docu-follow and behind-the-curtain footage of the business, immersing the viewer in the world of each side hustle, walking through its inception, cultural ties, and product functionality.  The series is narrated by a familiar voice, MTV News alum, SuChin Pak, who resumed her popular role as MTV Cribs narrator upon the series return in 2021.
