158 Happy Pops | Building a Popsicle Empire

March 07, 2021

This week, I’m sitting down with Leila Keshavjee, who is the founder of a Healthy (& Delicious) Popsicle brand, Happy Pops.

Leila Keshavjee has been on the Visionary Life Podcast before, and today she returns for her second appearance!

Since my first conversion with Leila back in 2019, a lot has changed for her company, Happy Pops.

If you’re not familiar with Happy Pops or didn’t catch our first episode, Happy Pops are similar to your favourite childhood popsicles, but way healthier and made without the nasty sugars lurking in traditional Popsicles.

You might remember watching Leila pitch Happy Pops on Dragon’s Den OR perhaps you’ve even purchased a box from your local grocery store!

They are a regular in my grocery haul these days, especially because my husband Dave is obsessed!

We’ll dive into…

  • Her journey as a Young Business Owner
  • How 2020 went for this Food Brand and what some of the ups & downs of the pandemic year were
  • Their influencer marketing strategy and whether it’s an advantageous marketing strategy for Happy Pops or not
  • How Leila stays inspired and motivated as a business owner
  • How they’re landing new channels of distribution across Canada
  • Her continued desire to bring Healthy Happiness & Cultural Tastes to kitchens around the world
  • Why it’s important to celebrate the small wins as a small business

  • AND SO MUCH MORE
