Hoda Kotb on Launching Wellness Company Joy 101 Following ‘Today’ Departure: ‘I’m Learning How to Be a Boss’

Hoda Kotb celebrated the launch of her new wellness company Joy 101 with a party in New York City.

Kotb said during a surprise appearance on “Today” before the launch party that “Joy 101” was born from a desire to lead a healthy lifestyle as well as to fulfill a personal need to be away from the studio cameras. “The work is hard,” Kotb told Variety when asked to compare her past career with relatable Hollywood industry woes such as being stuck laboring on set long hours only to sacrifice moments with loved ones. Coming out to support Kotb was an inner circle of powerhouse media players and former co-workers including Andy Cohen, Gayle King, Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin, Dylan Dreyer, Al Roker and Jenna Bush Hager.
