I wish I could say I play it cool when it comes to celebrities. I often have trouble recognizing them. When I'm watching a movie, at some point, I'll lean over and whisper to Cassie, "Where have a seen this guy before?" Then, Cassie has to interrupt her movie-going experience to go over an actor's resume with me. I'm even worse with celebrity sightings. For instance, when I ran into Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson in Manhattan, the best I could do was blurt out, "Hey, it's you!"
So when I found myself in a YouTube video with Ian Ziering, I'd like to say that I played it cool. But in reality, my reaction was, "Whoa! I'm in a video with the guy from 90210!" Yes, yours truly was fortunate enough to be featured in a YouTube series called, "America's Healthiest Heroes", hosted by Ian Ziering.
The premise of this series is to feature parents that are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to help kids adopt healthy habits. Apparently, the series is intent on highlighting the parents since poor Cailya and Colin didn't make the final cut.
One of the things that I really enjoy about YouTube is the ability to reach a larger audience. Trying to get a message out to others is infinitely more challenging than writing the message itself. I am proud to take part in a larger campaign like "America's Healthiest Heroes" because celebrities like Ian Ziering have a wider sphere of influence. Just like his character on 90210, Ian Ziering has the power of cool and the ability to make healthy eating cool.
Whether you are speaking to a YouTube audience of a few or a few thousand, or you are speaking to an audience of one or two in your own home, you can use the power of cool to make eating healthy the cool thing to do. I encourage you to be your own kid's healthiest hero!
