JUAN: BUSINESS ICON RUSSELL
SIMMONS HAS HAD HUGE SUCCESSES
IN MUSIC, TV, MOVIES AND FASHION
AMONG OTHER INDUSTRIES.
HE'S ALSO BIG ON FITNESS.
SIMMONS IS AN AVID VEGAN AND
LOVES YOGA AND NOW HE'S
LAUNCHING A NEW ENERGY DRINK.
RUSSELL SIMMONS IS HERE TO TALK
ABOUT THAT AND HIS SECRETS FOR
HEALTHY LIVING.
WELCOME.
BEING A VEGAN HAS A LOT TO DO
WITH IT; RIGHT?
HEALTHY LIVING.
I HAVE BEEN A VEGAN FOR 20
YEARS.
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS
UNDERWRITING POISON, WHAT THE
FACTORY FARMING INDUSTRY IS
DOING TO AMERICANS IS SICK, AND
WHAT WE'RE DOING TO OUR
ENVIRONMENT IS EVEN WORSE.
YOU KNOW, SO I MEAN IT'S EQUALLY
AS BAD I GUESS.
I HAVE ABTANED -- I HAVE
ABSTAINED FROM ANIMAL PRODUCTS
FOR YEARS.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO
SAY IT IS TOO HARD?
IT'S SO EASY.
YOU CAN GO TO TACO BELL AND HAVE
A BEAN BURRITO INSTEAD OF THEIR
HEART-CLOGGING CHEESE.
THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS AROUND TO
EATING -- TO NOT EATING ANIMAL
PRODUCT.
IT IS EASY.
I PRACTICE YOGA EVERY SINGLE
DAY.
SOME MORNINGS IT IS TOUGH TO GET
OUT OF BED.
I DRINK AN ENERGY DRINK.
I FOUND THE HEALTHIEST OF THE
ENERGY DRINKS.
I DISCOVERED THIS COMPANY.
I BOUGHT FROM AMAZON CASES OF IT
BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND IT IN A
LOT OF PLACES.
I SAID I'M GOING TO BUY IT.
I BOUGHT THE COMPANY.
IN AMERICA IT IS EXPLOSIVE.
IN OTHER COUNTRIES AROUND THE
WORLD IT IS DEVELOPING.
IT IS GOING TO BE IN 7-ELEVEN.
IN FACT IT IS IN 4,000
7-ELEVENS, SO IT IS IN 7-ELEVEN
ALREADY.
YOU LOSE 100 CALORIES SIMPLY BY
DRINKING IT.
THAT'S, YOU KNOW, PROVEN BY
SEVEN INDEPENDENT STUDIES AND
THAT'S KIND OF SHOCKING BECAUSE
IF YOU DRINK -- THIS IS GRAPE --
IF YOU DRINK SODA, YOU RUN FIVE
MILES TO GET RID OF IT.
THIS, YOU JUST DRINK IT AND NOT
ONLY GET RID OF IT, AND LOSE 100
CALORIES.
CAFFEINE IS GOOD FOR YOU IN
CERTAIN INSTANCES.
IT IS GREEN TEA NATURAL
CAFFEINE.
MOSTLY ACAI BERRIES AND GREEN
TEA AND OTHER HEALTHY ELEMENTS.
THIS IS PROBABLY -- NOT
PROBABLY, THIS IS THE HEALTHIEST
OF THE ENERGY DRINKS.
SO MANY ENERGY DRINKS OUT
THERE.
WHAT WAS IT THAT YOU LIKED SO
MUCH ABOUT THIS?
WAS IT THE NATURAL INGREDIENTS,
THE GREEN TEA?
THIS PARTICULAR ONE WAS SO
MUCH MORE NATURAL THAN THE
COMPETITORS.
NOW I CALL THEM COMPETITORS.
SOMETHING THAT I FOUND VERY
INTERESTING GLOBALLY I
UNDERSTAND THIS FLAVOR HERE IS
THE MOST POPULAR FLAVOR.
YEAH, IT IS POPULAR.
I WANT TO TRY IT.
TWO NEW FLAVORS, ONE IS GRAPE
AND ONE IS WATERMELON.
THAT'S NICE ACTUALLY.
WILL I DROP ABOUT 20 POUNDS
NOW IF I DRINK TEN OF THEM?
HONESTLY I DRINK ONE OF THESE
EVERY MORNING AND IT'S MADE A
DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE IN MY ENERGY
LEVEL.
OF COURSE IT HELPS YOU LOSE
WEIGHT.
YOU KNOW, IT IS A GREAT ENERGY
DRINK.
HEALTHY SAUCE FOR ENERGY WHICH
IS NOT AVAILABLE --
IT IS GREAT.
MANGO GREEN TEA.
THERE'S A RESEARCH ON COCA-COLA
VERSUS OUR COLA.
OUR COLA IS GOOD FOR YOU.
THE OTHER COLA IS PROBABLY THE
WORST THING ON THE PLANET.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD SAY YOU
HAVE THE GOLDEN TOUCH.
THIS IS A HIT.
ANYBODY WHO DRINKS IT WANTS
MORE.
I KNOW IT IS A HIT.
IT IS HEALTHIER.
IT IS NOT A HEALTH DRINK.
IT IS HEALTHIER THAN ANY DRINK
THAT DOES WHAT IT DOES.
I LOVE IT.
I'M ENJOYING IT.
I WANT ANOTHER SIP AS SOON AS I
HAVE A SECOND.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE ABOUT
THE YOGA STUDIO?
YES, RIGHT ON SUNSET.
THE IDEA THAT I PRACTICE EVERY
SINGLE DAY AND THEY DON'T TEACH
ENOUGH YOGA.
THEY TEACH THE PHYSICAL
PRACTICE, BUT I THINK WE -- WE
TEACH YOGA.
THE IDEA IS YOGA IS THE SCIENCE
OF HAPPINESS.
WE SHOULD TEACH PEOPLE MORE THAN
THE PHYSICAL POSES, WHICH WE
WILL.
IT WILL BE FUN.
YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT AND GET IN
SHAPE AS WELL, THAT'S A
BYPRODUCT OF IT.
YOU WILL GET THAT.
KEEP WATCHING.
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR HIS YOGA
STUDIO.
9200 SUNSET.
THE WEATHER WAS FUN.
