Summary

Brooke Harris is the founder of Good Mylk Co. She began her business selling fresh almond milk at her local farmers’ market but soon realized a need to make her product available to more people. Homemade plant-based milks are such an incredibly different experience than the stuff that you buy at the store - they taste amazing and the ingredients are super clean. In this episode Brooke talks all about her journey to scale without compromising on taste or nutrition. She also covers the lessons she’s learned from being in business, most importantly that no-one knows as much about her business than she does. Brooke also shares her personal story of being abused as a child and how she is so proud of the fact that she gets to stop that particular cycle of abuse.

0:00.0	Hello, hello, welcome back to the Balanced One Podcast, so on fire.
0:17.5	Today's guest is the beautiful Brooke Brewa, otherwise known as Brooke Harris.
0:25.2	She just got married, so now she's officially Brooke Harris.
0:29.6	However, I've known Brooke for about five years now, and I feel so honored to have her on the show.
0:38.6	Talk about her new marriage. Talk about her business, good milk, co.
0:44.2	But you've probably stumbled upon if you go to Bluebottle Coffee or Le Columbe Coffee,
0:51.9	please forgive me if I pronounce that wrong. But Brooke mentions it in the episode.
0:57.4	I know I used to go to this coffee place in New York, Le Columbe,
1:01.8	Le Columbe. I need to look into that. They're also carried in a handful of other places,
1:07.0	like Soho House, and they have their own shop in Marvista called Good Milk Co.
1:15.2	But years ago it was called Cold and Thirsty, and I hosted one of my book launch parties,

1:34.5	place. And they actually still do cryotherapy, and they also still have juice from Brooke's juice

1:54.4	woman and all these things. But I didn't know a lot about her life, and a lot about her upbringing,
2:01.2	and different things that she's had to overcome. And I also don't know if I fully realized what
2:08.4	a badass she is in business. I knew that she was this incredible entrepreneur who has just created
2:17.9	a product that's amazing and sustainable and true to her values. But what I didn't quite realize
2:27.0	was that Brooke is such a badass in the boardroom she has had to go head to head with investors.
