Hardest part of ending is starting again. You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast. We're back here at Think Billion's event. It's a killer event.

And I'm joined by killer founder, serial entrepreneur, Brooke Andler. What's up, Brooke? Hi, guys. I'm awesome. I'm out here. This event has been incredible. Thanks for having me on the Radcast. I'm really excited to be a guest here and share my story with you and get some conversation going.

I know. You know, we say if it's radical, we cover it. And, you know, I'm going to let you tee up the brand, but it's pretty radical. I was like, there's very few people where I'm talking pre-episode and I'm going, they're explaining it to me. And I'm like scientifically going, is this feasible? So, you know, I'll try not to blush too hard. Tell us about booba. Yeah. You know, sex sells, yeah right exactly so um booba is a company that i created to help moms with breastfeeding so we have completely gotten away from breastfeeding

the support of breastfeeding and we understand that know, not a lot of moms can breastfeed. We understand that there's a lot of moms that are breastfeeding. So what we want to do is we really want to create a community for moms in general, not just breastfeeding moms, but moms in general. We want to, we want to create a community. We want to create partnerships with people. We want to get information out there. We want to support people. And what I want to do is, it's a little crazy, you know, but Not crazy if you can pull it off. Right? I want your milk. Yes.

Bring me, bring me your milk. I want to pay the moms for their milk. I want to create a product, a dehydrated product to be able to offer to moms and malnourished babies around the world. So there's a lot of reasons why I started this company. You know, I think the love for people, the love for babies, I think the love for people, the love for babies, being able to give somebody the best start to their life is priceless, right? Yeah, it is. And I love it because, well, we're the Think Billions event, which if you really summarize means think bigger. And that's pretty grand thinking. It's big. It is.

It's a grand thinking, you know. It's big. It is. It's a great endeavor. And, look, my first son, so I have a personal story here. My first son was allergic to the protein in cow's milk. And literally he was, we thought he had, like, digestion issues, esophagus, because he cried. He was a perfect baby, like, the first couple weeks because he cried he was a perfect baby like the first couple weeks and then he cried for probably like six weeks straight and we didn't know it was every time after we fed him so he was tearing up his esophagus from the cow's milk absolutely and

he ended up we end up finding something but it was one of these it was i call it liquid gold it is because it was uh about 1200 a month uh in liquid gold. It is. Because it was about $1,200 a month in formula. I mean, I'm not kidding. Literally, so I can relate to knowing that it's not healthy for all kids, maybe not any kids, I don't know. Honestly, in the world, there isn't another species in the world that drinks a different species milk. I mean, really, if you think about it, we're the only species, human species, that drinks cow's milk.

And our bodies with the enzymes, we're not naturally able to digest it. And that's why babies are, they're dying. They're literally dying. This is a huge issue. And by getting out there and really educating people around the ideas of this, around what's in formula, around what's in our food, it will revolutionize health care. And that's what I want to do. I want to change

the way we feed our babies, the way we feed ourselves. It's this event is centered around health. And if you don't have your health, what do you have nothing right yeah and and if you're gonna go out and have a baby you have to take the responsibility as a person as a parent and say what am I gonna put in this baby to give it the best life possible because everybody wants the best for their kids right of course you want your kids to have a better life than you do. Yeah. I mean, is that possible? You have a pretty stellar life. I'm a blessed person, but it's, you know, we can all have better and I want better for them.

Right. Yeah, exactly. So if we want what's best for them, giving them the nutrition that they need is absolutely key. Because not only are they going to grow, not only are they going to get on a neurological level, the things in breast milk cannot be recreated. Cannot be recreated. So if you think about that. When you say it's liquid gold. Right. It is literally. You're mining liquid gold.

Yeah. We were getting. But we were having to pay for it. It wasn't actually. I wish we could have gotten the real thing. You know. Right. We were paying for manufactured gold. Yeah.

So where does. You know, in these condensed episodes, we'll have to do a follow-up sometime. I know we could probably talk your backstory for, you know, an hour. For sure. But, you know, I do think it's important, you know, for people. I want people to get some perspective on a lot of things you've overcome. You know, like, so touch a little bit on, you know, the things you've overcome. Like, what's brought you along this entrepreneurial journey? Man, you know, I think what it is is that they say adversity, right, creates the strongest people.

And I've had some real situations at a very, very young age. I mean, pretty much since I was born. I have faced a lot of adversity. I have been sexually, mentally, and physically abused for most of my life. So, sorry. It's okay sorry okay i'm emotional person hey you know who i can't i can relate and i have empathy but like i just can't even imagine like you know like someone having

to go through it you know like it's like we take so much for granted you know like in everything but to you want to think everybody's got an equal chance or hasn't had just blatant atrocities done to them. But so many people have. Yeah. And I think you can feel right. You know, I know what it's like to go to bed hungry, starving. I know what it's like to not have any support in your world or any support around you. And...

Sorry. It's okay. You just keep fighting, you know? You keep running and you keep chasing until you catch the train because there is a train coming there is and I believe and my story is is a rough story you know and I've lived through it and I'm here today. And I think the biggest thing is, is that I know that I can make a difference. I know that I can change the way things are. I know I can.

Because if I can do it for myself, I can help other people do it for themselves too. I can do it for myself. I can help other people do it for themselves too. And that's one of the biggest things. Is realizing that you have all the power inside of you. To do anything you want to do. And those adversities or those problems. They're just going to make you you stronger as hard as they are,

as hard as the shit you have to go through sometimes. And you're, you know, I'd get on my knees and I'm, God, why is this shit happening to me? You know, it's a sad thing to say, but sometimes you say, how was I born into this situation? What did I do to deserve this, right? Because you're so resentful at the shit that you have to deal with, right? And the secrets that you have to keep or the lies that you have to tell or the person that you have to be because people don't want you saying anything. They don't want you talking. They don't want to know about your story. That shit's real.

That's some real shit right there. And that shit is what will get in your head. And it'll fuck you up. But the strength to overcome it like yeah this is where I have the most like awe at those that have those circumstances that could not if you wanted to you couldn't fault them if they wallowed in their resentment the rest of their life because Because if anyone has earned it, they probably have. But it wouldn't do them any good. So you want them to overcome it, but you don't judge them.

But the people that overcome it, like yourself, and then have these visions and these goals and these things, those are the people that deserve the respect. I mean, it's like, it's amazing. Yeah, I mean, I think what you do is you take those obstacles and you learn from it, you grow from it and you say, this isn't going to define me. And it's absolutely not going to stop me from my divine purpose, what I need to do in this world and who I need to be. Because at a very young age, I saw what everybody

was doing. And I was like, I'm not doing any of that. I learned everything not to do. And I said, my kids will never know what it's like to be raised in a family or in a home with this kind of level of, of abuse. Right. So you, you learn, you only know what you know, right? Same thing with,

with falling in love. We were talking about earlier, you know, your marriage is my marriage is fail. And, uh, you know, you only know what love is when you find it.

Right. And you don't know what that is. You don't know what that feeling is when you find it. That's right. And you don't know what that is. You don't know what that feeling is until you feel it, just like everything else. You only know what you know until you know it. And then you learn how to do it. It's so profound. It seems simple, but it's so profound because in that instance for me, the first time I got married, I thought I was in love.

Right. Because it's what I knew what I knew. I didn't know what love was. So I got married the second time, you know, like, because like, I was like,

obviously it didn't work out, but I didn't know it wasn't because there wasn't really love there, but there wasn't. I was never in love with my first wife. Right. Truly. Now I didn't know that. And I wasn't trying to be a dick,

but it's just the truth. Truly. Now, I didn't know that, and I wasn't trying to be a dick, but it's just the truth. No, and you don't figure it out until you're like, this don't feel right. Right? You're like, wait a second. This shit ain't right. It's not supposed to be easy come, easy go. Not with a marriage. Right, right.

You're like, death do you part? Like, you're ride or die, and you're like. You think you mean it. I mean, and you do. At the time, right? At the time, you're like, time you're like you know what you know what yeah i was sincere yeah i love you i married you because i thought i was in love with you but i wasn't in love with my first husband it wasn't until i met my second i never got married to him but i found out what love was and i was like whoa this is how you're supposed to feel. Like every time I see you, there's butterflies.

Like people are like, oh, you lose that after a year. I'm like, no, that's if you're the wrong person. But you see your person and they light you up inside, right? Pull the magic out of you, not the madness. Yeah, I love that. I like that. I you not the madness yeah I love that hey I like that I might use that I love to share I love sharing knowledge I love sharing wealth everybody's my friend if you want to be my friend if you don't be friend well fuck you but you know where's everything going with booba? Like what's that? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. We're

going with that. Like, I mean, you're in the early phases. I take it, but you know, you've got a great vision and I mean, what are the next, I don't know, one to five years look like with that? I mean, the path, the path to, to greatness. Yeah. Uh, well, one to five years, I'm trying to do it faster. Oh, okay. One month, next month. So everything is faster, right? five years, I'm trying to do it faster. Well, okay. One month. Next month. So everything is faster, right? I mean, I have a timeline, but I definitely want to move it a lot faster, which I know I can. It's just like figuring out how to do it.

But so right now we're launching an app, a WellTech app, which will help the community, basically, of moms the, of moms, moms in general, not just, I don't want just breastfeeding moms. I want all moms. I want every mom out there to feel support. And you know, women need to love women. I mean, we say it, but we don't do it. We're like, what she got? Who she was? You know what I mean? I mean, there's a group. There are women out there that really do support and love.

And you got to dig deep with that. But I want to. So the WellTech app is going to be launching in about 40 days. We'll have a beta out. And then we're going to go ahead and create the community. And with the community, there's going to be support. We're going to have lactation nurses. We're going to have doctors. We're going to have a wealth of knowledge.

We want to support you. We want to bring breastfeeding back 100 times plus. We want you happy. We want people loving to have babies again. You know? I mean, we need to love to have babies again you know i mean we need to love to have baby kids are miracles so we want to we want to support the moms grow community there'll be gps tracking in the app so you'll be able to connect with the moms locally so the moms that i mean you'll be able to connect

with moms everywhere but in your local vicinity know, because it absolutely takes a village to raise kids. I do believe that. So, you know, moms are so restricted sometimes because we got little babies at home, or maybe you need a break and your friend can come over and take the baby. I mean, bring all the babies to me. I love babies, but, um, that's what we want to do. We do want to we want to create a community first and then what we want to do is we want to create partnerships and we we want you to feel like you new moms moms existing moms we want you to feel like you have a place to go where it's a sisterhood you, like these are my sisters, you know, they're, they're men and they're women. Right. But within our gender, women really can help each other.

You know, we, we understand each other. We just get each other. Right. And I think if we can love each other more and really support each other, I think that's extremely important. And then, and then the third phase is we want to, we really want to buy,

buy breast milk and we really want to dehydrate it and create a product that you can feed to your baby. That is nutrition, absolute nutrition, liquid gold, the best of the best. So you can call it. Yeah.

That's a freebie. I'm going to use that, right? Can I use that? Yeah, you can use it. Trademark registered. TM, got it. So that's really what I want to do. I'm really excited.

I'm doing this not only to help people, but you know, one thing is, is, is we all have a divine purpose in life. We all have a necessity to do. And if you share that, you're sharing part of yourself. And that's what I want to do. I literally love to create and design. And this is something that I think will be phenomenal. It will revolutionize health care for babies around the world. I mean, your babies, what you're giving them is the best start to life, and that's really what I want people to understand with this company and where I'm going and what the mission is.
