[MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, look at the apples. Oh, they look so good. Oh, loaded with apples. I'm quite sure that these are Delicious apples. [MUSIC PLAYING] Yep, kind of a delicious. I have so many old apples. Mm. Juicy and delicious. Oh. [MUSIC PLAYING] I don't stop. - No downtime. What do you need downtime for? I'm not an Energizer Bunny, but I am a hard-working, curious, and innovative person. Huge. I was able to turn the things I really liked to do into a really thriving business. REPORTER: The one and only Martha Stewart, the person behind the powerhouse brand. She's an icon in the kitchen, bestselling author, entrepreneur, CBD CEO. - To be an entrepreneur means you have an idea that is viable and the passion to make that idea come to fruition. - This is glamping at its finest.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING] [MUSIC PLAYING] I have a calendar and I have a timetable, and I don't really care if I sleep much. I do not go out for lunches. I hate cocktail parties. I don't want to delay. I want to get things done. [MUSIC PLAYING] If you are going to choose to be an entrepreneur, hard work is the first thing you have to accept.
