Hal Bastian - The Butler of Downtown L.A. decided to live, redeem his life and build a city! (Part 1)

Called Mr Downtown by many of the 15,000 people he knows, Hal Bastian prefers to see himself as the Butler of Downtown. With an amazing memory for dates and events, Hal takes us on a journey of decay and eventual rebirth of downtown Los Angeles. All viewed through the eyes of his campaign to stop the normalising of people dying in the streets of L.A.

 

Whilst turning around the luck of L.A. as a commercial real estate agent, Hal managed to escape death eight times, survived a swath of series medical emergencies and achieved sobriety from alcohol and cocaine. No mean feat for a man who was smiling on the outside but dying on the inside!

 

Welcome to the twelfth episode of my podcast series that shines a light on how people have changed their lives and what was involved in getting themselves On Another Track.
