Maria Shriver reveals son Patrick Schwarzenegger's Shark Tank debut was a 'bucket list' dream come true

Maria Shriver and son Patrick Schwarzenegger launch MOSH protein bars on Shark Tank, inspired by Alzheimer's advocacy work after father's death.

Maria Shriver, the former First Lady of California, is dedicated to fulfilling her children's aspirations. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, she reveals the inspiration behind her latest venture, MOSH, which she created with her son Patrick Schwarzenegger. The duo is set to appear on Shark Tank, a show that Patrick has long admired and dreamed of being a part of.

Shriver shares the challenges they faced in getting on the show, with Patrick working tirelessly to impress the producers and secure a spot in front of the sharks. Finally, their dream became a reality as they presented MOSH, a protein bar designed to support brain health. The bars, available in various flavors, also contribute to funding gender-based Alzheimer's research at the Women's Alzheimer's Movement at the Cleveland Clinic.

The idea for MOSH came to fruition during the COVID-19 pandemic when Shriver and Patrick moved in together. Patrick's interest in business and Shriver's passion for creating a protein bar aligned perfectly, leading to the birth of MOSH. Shriver credits all her children, including Katherine, Christopher, and Christina, for their involvement in the brand's development.

The motivation behind MOSH stems from Shriver's personal experience with Alzheimer's disease, as her father was diagnosed in 2003 and passed away in 2011. She has been a vocal advocate in the Alzheimer's space for over two decades, emphasizing the importance of research, especially in women's brains. MOSH serves as an educational tool, promoting healthy brain habits while also making a positive impact in the world.

Shriver's ultimate goal with MOSH is to encourage people to be mindful of what they consume and how they care for their brains, with the hope of preventing neurological diseases in the future. The success of MOSH is a testament to her dedication to raising awareness about brain health and supporting Alzheimer's research.
