“Our television division at TWC has made an incredible name for themselves in creating fresh and entertaining unscripted programming. Partnering with Pitbull, one of the biggest names in music today, on The REAL Change Project and The Lyfe is a phenomenal opportunity that we’re all very excited to get started on,” said Harvey Weinstein, Weinstein Co. co-chairman.

“It’s an honor to partner with The Weinstein Company and Real Change Productions/Honey I’m Home on Lyfe and The REAL Change Project, two series with the point of view that life is what we make it — some follow the rules; others bend them,” said Pitbull. “After the party kicks off 2015, we will show what’s behind the curtain and most important, learning, listening from the best plays a huge role in thejourney.”
