Martha Stewart on Why She Doesn’t Want to Be ‘an Old-Fashioned Old Lady’ (Exclusive)

Martha Stewart is always evolving – and proving that age is just a number.

Stewart is the latest celebrity to host a MasterClass, with her offering – called “Think Like a Boss, Live Like a Legend” – launching on Friday. PEOPLE has an exclusive look at the trailer.

America’s first self-made billionaire, who turned 82 in August, says she often gets comments in her class like, “Oh, you’re making it up.” ”

“I don’t call it reinvention,” she explains. “I really like to evolve and not be an old-fashioned old lady. I want to know what my limits are, but I also want to push those limits in any way possible.”

Stewart, who talked about her class and her personal ethos during a Q&A with MasterClass CEO David Rogier at the Whitby Hotel in New York on Thursday, says part of staying active is “filling the day.” In fact, Stewart’s class follows her around the clock at her home in Bedford, New York.

“Watching this MasterClass, I think you will be surprised how much can be done in one day. “How much good, enjoyable work can be done in 24 hours,” Stewart says in his class.

During a Q&A Thursday, Stewart doubled down on the importance of staying busy. Her strategy for success, she said, depends on not being “afraid of hard work, not being afraid to fill your day. Not being afraid to experiment with new things, to plant a new kind of tree.”

And as Stewart explores various adventures in her 80s — including a line of CBD gum — she told the New York crowd, “I like new and different.”

Simply put, it’s the lifestyle guru’s work ethic at play through every decision she makes: “I want to get things done,” she says in her MasterClass. “If you’re going to decide to be an entrepreneur, hard work is the first thing you have to embrace. You can never say that any famous entrepreneur has been lazy about anything.”
