The conversation turned emotional as she pondered her father's potential reaction. "I wonder if my dad would be proud and be like, 'This is cool,'" Brooke said, her voice filled with emotion.
She emphasized her independence in building her business, telling McGillivray, "I never wanted to take daddy's money, so when I was building my business, I was really building it with no capital, no help from anybody else."
