In November 2017, when she passed away, you said, as a tribute on The Tonight Show, which I watched, the best audience, referring to your mother, that she was the best audience, she was the one I was always trying to make laugh. Mum, I'll never stop trying to make you laugh. And I heard you talk about squeezing her hand three times when you were younger and her squeezing yours back.

Were you able to grieve?

Were you able to grieve?

And if you harp on that, then it's too depressing. Did it change your perspective on your own work? Because it's funny. I remember thinking about my old business when it was like, it was my entire life. I was thinking if I lost this person in my life now, I don't know if my business would mean the same to me because in part I'm doing this for them.

Her loss, you turning 50? Yeah. Putting all these pieces together, it seems like this might have inspired your increased concern and I guess drive for longevity and health. Because we talked just before we started recording and I asked you what's sort of front of mind for you at the moment. And one of the things you mentioned was longevity and health. Yeah. When did that?

So what does that actually mean for you in terms of your longevity and health journey? Does it mean that you're going to the gym, you're thinking about what you're eating?

able to be enjoying everything now. For anybody that likes matcha, for anybody that likes lattes, one of my companies has just launched canned matcha lattes. And I was speaking with the founder, Marissa, and she said that creating this product has been no easy feat. They tried launching in 2021, but as is often the case in business, the development process turned out to be extremely complex.

So they've spent the last four years testing and refining every single detail to create this which is a perfect Ted matcha vanilla latte and a perfect Ted matcha strawberry latte. So what we have here in these cans is barista quality matcha straight from the can. And it tastes like it's just been made from your favorite cafe, naturally sweet and naturally creamy in a can.
