Celebrity Lemonade Stand With Brooke Burke

today on Celebrity lemonade stand, tv, personality, author and fitness expert Brooke burke, you know her from your tv screens as a former host on dancing with the Stars, but the Multitalented Star has also launched her fitness act Brooke burke body and most recently her new superfood longevity Brooke burke, Welcome to the Celebrity Lemonade stand. Thanks for having me adorable. Did you expect a real lemonade stand? I did not, but I love a real lemonade stand encouraged and you know, inspired my kids to do a lot of that raising and raising money in the neighborhood and having some fun. Everybody loves a good lemonade stand. Exactly. That's why we have this show and you inspire so many because you've been in the television industry hosting shows and being active in the industry for over two decades. You, I know sorry to age, you don't look at, you don't age, I'm waiting for your ageless products to come out. That's what we still say one decade and then I go back and I go gosh, it really has been two decades and now you have longevity. This is an awesome product we're gonna talk about and why people need a superfood like this a little bit later, but we want to rewind first. Okay, I'm gonna take it back a little bit because I want to know what your very first job was. Oh my gosh, my very first job was at a place called Mr Pretzel, I was the Pretzel Maker, Wait, did you wear the hat? Um I didn't have to wear a hat, thank goodness, but I did have a uniform. It was in a mall and I remember I was 15 and I actually had to pretend that I was 16 because I really, I needed that job and I made pretzels and it was a fun gig. What did you learn from that experience that you've carried through life? I think my parents taught me how to kind of fend for myself. So the less they gave me, the more I created for myself and I've carried that on through my, you know, my business acumen and tried to teach my Children that and it's not an easy lesson. You haven't stopped. You always work, you're always on the go talk to us about how you first got into the television industry kind of by by accident really if if we were going way back. Um I had my first big gig audition at E actually and it was a friend of mine that encouraged me to take the interview before I knew it. I was doing a trial show in spain and kind of learned the trade in the field and I was studying broadcast journalism at the time. And I remember being in one of my college classes and really understanding um the grind of the news caster and I was like, do I really wanna do that, Do I really want to eat out of a vending machine at three a.m. And pound the pavement hard life. So then I, I did a quick pivot and got into the entertainment business. So let's talk about the pivot, when did you decide to pivot from just being on television to now your own app, for example health and wellness were always a big part of my life. Then fitness kind of digitized. And I found myself in Europe one summer um without a gym or any opportunities to do anything healthy other than you know, although the decadent opportunities and I remember putting up on social media, this um this exercise, this workout that I was doing honest to God on a lounge chair mat in the backyard with my kids by the pool and um got an in incredible response and I was like, oh this is really interesting, it's just an experiment, this is so interesting. What if I started teaching people how to work out anytime and anywhere with no equipment. And so I came back home and I was like what if we produced a bunch of content and created an app and put it out there to teach women around the world and men how to work out what would happen. That was the shift experiment that took off. Now I used 100 thousands of people talk to me about the launch of it because sometimes having an idea is very different from actually financing it, Finding the funding to make it a reality. So how did you go about making it a reality, You know, first of all do what you love? And I was doing something that I was really passionate about and because I come from an entertainment background in television, I knew how to produce content and I knew how to do it for a fraction of what the kind of sets that I was used to working on. So that was a big plus when you start to break down, you know, the economics, um and the funding of starting a business. So I just rolled my sleeves up, reached out to a videographer that I had worked with forever and said, hey, let's start producing a bunch of content, because in order to launch a fitness app, we had to have hundreds of hours of content, I had no idea how physically and mentally and emotionally draining, that was gonna be just, it's been, you know, it's been quite a ride from where you weren't the only one going through some challenging times when you launch this, because then the pandemic hit the pandemic happened, Everything that we knew that was normal was taken away. And suddenly we all found ourselves at home starving for connection and starving for community, and really trying to better understand how to take care of ourselves and do it from home, and everybody went live, remember, and not very well, I must say everybody was trying to figure it out. So we kind of had those pieces in place and I feel like um it was an act of service and it was a great opportunity for me to be able to teach people how to take care of themselves at home. So I've learned how to care for myself at home and do it more efficiently and do it for the whole family. So even things like what we're going to talk about with longevity and simplifying wellness, how do I knock out a breakfast for the whole family in three minutes? Yeah, you can do it. And you used to be a healthier way now, healthier way and it's really bringing mindfulness I think into your daily routine and creating like a lifestyle. Well, one of the things is longevity. It's because it's a super food. It has all those vitamins and minerals that a lot of times people miss out on. That's why they get sluggish. That's why they're tired. They're not able to go throughout the day. So tell us about longevity and why you decided to create it. I'm gonna try it. Thank you. Thank you. I know we're hearing that word a lot. It's trending, right? What is a superfood? So it's all of the things that your body needs really to thrive from anti inflammation to energy recovery and this particular prod, it's not a protein powder. It's a superfood blend. It has natural protein in it, which is awesome. I'll give you an example in the morning for the kids and we're all rushing and I'm driving them to school. I don't have a driver? It's me, I don't have a trainer. It's me true story, but I'll take almond milk, maybe almond butter, frozen fruit, whatever you love. A couple scoops of longevity ice. I'll blend it up. I line up the cups, I use these and the beauty of it. I'm feeling the brain, I'm feeling their body. I'm giving them energy, I feel good about it. I'm giving them everything they need and it's actually really good. It's very light. It doesn't have a lot of times they have the after taste taste. This doesn't have it at all. What I love about this flavor and this is Cacau that's my particular favorite. I love the cat doesn't like dirty earthy taste sometimes when you start putting in your urban mates and your mocha and all of these other very important ingredients, you get that artificial taste. So, um, we got down, we really got down in the lab in creating this. So we like, we like, I really flew to Seattle and really got into the lab because it has to have integrity, right? I mean we can slap our name on anything that was really important to me. Um, the process of this and it was important to me to be proud of the ingredients and to really walk the talk right and share something that I'm actually doing and using and enjoying myself and so how important is this for your life change and staying healthy? Cause I know you've dealt with thyroid cancer some issues with your family and obesity and the so how important is a product like this to your overall mission? Living an anti inflammatory diet for my family's super important. Not always easy. So I know that I'm getting a couple scoops of everything. I need to create that recovery and focus energy. And it all starts with what we put in our body anyway, doesn't it? And then how we feel. So if we don't have energy, we're kind of like down and out. If my kids aren't focusing, they're struggling. I was gonna ask you, how do you balance all being a mother of four, you have all these businesses that you're doing? Is this the key to balancing at all and all time management as well. I know you said it. I mean that comes that that brings us back to fitness if we don't have time, we compromise that lifestyle. So for me, the messaging is about efficiency and how can we do things that are mindful and things that we enjoy? How can I take care of my body? How can I take care of myself? So I'm a better mom, a better partner, a better businesswoman. And it's really finding those possibilities. So this we're sharing that message of simplifying wellness. So I'm kind of that person that if it's messy, I'm telling that story too because we all have those days. Right. And then how do we, how do we like grind through it in the best way possible and give ourselves some grace when it's not perfect. We are gonna play celeb squeeze. Okay, so I have four high profile cards in my hand. I'm going to go through a rapid fire question and answer session with you. You're gonna pick one of these cards for each question and then tell us why. Alright, so first up, we have one and only Richard Simmons. We have fitness legend and actor jane fonda. Yes, Queen supermodel Winnie Harlow and actress kate Hudson. I know. Okay, so we gotta pick one for each question. Your first question. Who would you want to work with Queen? Love her inspiration, Fitness inspiration. I mean, come on around my wife, still watching the video. Okay, next one. Who would you want to host your next fitness session on your app? I absolutely love her. I love her. And I also have Auto mean, I have Vitiligo and my daughter has Vitiligo and she has been such a role model and an inspiration and she's gorgeous and perfect and I love all of that. Who would make the best longevity shake All right. Hopefully he'll be wearing the red booty shorts while he's making it and shaking it up. You guys can do a whole dance video, do a dance video here. That? Richard dance video. Okay, sure. Who would you want to chill with? and just have a smoothie break, smoothie break and men the other things girl, Yes, come on, come on kate. All right, who would you want to partner with for your next health and fitness venture? Gotta go back to the queen jane fonda. I mean, come on. So lucky. I have met her and she's lovely, but she's been such a fitness icon and an inspiration. Um I love her. And you know what? A lot of these lemonade stands are run by Children. Right, So we want to have an opportunity for our kids, our kid preneurs to ask you a few questions. Alright, okay, okay, so our first question comes from seven year old charlotte. How do you juggle all your jobs? Well, sometimes the balls fall all out of place and you just keep playing the game. I don't have much of a social life, it's it's mommy and kids family and a lot of work and I love what I do. So um I just keep trying go with the flow. That's right. Okay. Next question. 11 year old Elia, which cartoon character would you choose to ask to invest in your business and why? My goodness! Cartoon character? Excuse me? Which cartoon character? Richie Rich is a good one because I think his parents would help fund the business and we need a lot of funds to run this business. So yeah, go big. And um if it's an investment, you got to go really big, right? There you go. She doesn't even know how Richie Rich's, That's okay, we do. We just got money. Just know that definitely. Alright, 12 year old kindly, which superhero would you want to work with? I'm gonna say supergirl, and the reason is because I have a couple fitness moves that are inspired by Supergirl. So there's one where you're in tabletop position and you're actually kind of imitating the supergirl pose like you're flying. So it's great for the arms and the glutes and the core and the back, you have to put one leg out when you're doing that too coarse, so one leg out, you gotta find your balance and your center your core. I'd like to bring a little bit of playfulness and kind of fantasy into Supergirl Supergirl with some super foods. Okay, well I'm gonna keep drinking. Thank you so much for coming on so much fun. Thank you. We wish a long career with longevity. All right, thank you
