We're back with Kristen Bell.
And first of all, this is the one year anniversary
of Hello Bello.
And it's doing so well.
It usually takes a company a long time
to establish and do well.
And this is doing so well.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
We've been so, so lucky.
And it's the one-year anniversary.
Well, first of all, it's been so awesome.
Because when we started this, we were
very honest with the people that we collaborated with.
And we were like, we don't need another paycheck,
just to be blunt.
We want to make a for-profit company that
does really good things in the world, that
has accessibility, and makes sure that parents can not
choose between their baby or their budget,
and create a community.
And luckily, we've been able-- we've given away over a million
diapers in our first year alone--
[APPLAUSE]
--to 70 different organizations.
And we installed a first-responders discount
last year.
So all first responders, military.
[APPLAUSE]
So good.
And then we are giving new and expectant parents a free week's
worth of diapers on us.
Everyone in North America who is newly expecting.
And you just pay $1 in shipping.
And we'll send you a week's worth
of diapers, not a sample pack, to just tell you
we hope we can lift a little bit of the burden of having
a child.
Wow, that's fantastic, Kristen.
That's great.
You do the series Momsplaining, which, you're fantastic.
And there's something that I don't know much
about having a child.
But when you breastfeed, I guess you have to be aware
all the time of everything.
And I don't know if you saw this.
A woman was just-- she had self tanning on.
And then she was breastfeeding.
And look at the baby's face.
This is after she realized--
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, yeah, wow.
That checks out.
What a shock when you're like, what's wrong with your--
And then, now, that baby's got a 5 o'clock shadow.
Right.
Yes.
Like a hobo.
It looks like a hobo.
It does look like a hobo baby.
Going to get on a train in a minute.
And then you just wrote your first children's book,
which is called--
The World Needs More Purple People.
Great name.
I'll let you deduce what the title means.
But my friend Ben Hart and I, who--
Ben Hart also works on Hello Bello.
He drew all these little icons.
He's very talented.
It occurred to us that our children were even
subconsciously absorbing all these conversations
about divisiveness and differences,
and that we weren't really talking
about the things that make us similar,
which is, newsflash, literally everything other than a couple
opinions.
So we wrote a book that serves as kind of a manual to kids,
and I think, should be required reading for adults,
about the things that make us similar,
like loving laughing, and hard work,
and just to remind us all that we're just one group of people.
Because red and blue makes purple.
Bingo.
I like it.
It's good.
More with Kristin after this.
