05. Leila Keshavjee - How Happy Pops has bootstrapped to success

It might be Winter here in Canada, but hearing the word Popsicle's can instantly bring a smile to anyone’s face! Memories of hot summer nights and vacation vibes come to mind when I think about enjoying a tasty, icy cold treat. If the word Popsicle's evokes happy memories for you too, than you are probably going to this weeks interview with Happy Pops founder Leila Keshavjee Are you as excited as I am to hear about the story behind Dragon’s Den sensation Leila Keshavjee who has reinvented the world of Popsicle's with an all natural ice pop made with  real fruit and sweetened with a hint of organic cane sugar. Happy Pops was launched back in 2016, after Leila learned about all of the hidden, nasty sugars lurking in traditional Popsicle's, Leila Keshavjee knew there had to be a better way. An athlete herself, Leila wanted to "healthify" the Popsicle and create a version that could be a breakfast, post-workout treat, or a snack before bed…. A snack you could feed to the whole family and feel GOOD about it! That’s the birth story of Happy Pops! Leila  drew on her South Asian heritage and travels, as well as her family’s experience in the food industry, to come up with a flavour line-up that can’t be found anywhere else From Passion Fruit and Guava to Mango and Strawberry,  or my personal 2 faves.. The Matcha or the Coffee…  Happy Pops is a clean-ingredient treat that appeals to Canada’s diverse tastes.  The ice pops are handcrafted in small batches without artificial ingredients and are sold at specialty retail stores, farmers markets and festivals in Ontario and Quebec. p.s. If Leila’s story sounds familiar, it’s because she landed a $150,000 deal on CBC's Dragons Den with my personal fave dragon Arlene Dickinson. If you missed that episode, go checkout the first episode of Season 13. It was an epic episode. Key takeaways from this episode:   Talk to people and build a community around your ideas   Be prepared to go all in when things take off!
