When your Adaptogenic Coffee is on Dragons' Den Zain Peer of London Nootropics

In this episode, Yvonne is joined by Zain Peer the co-founder of London Nootropics. When he and his childhood friend Shez Shaikh discovered that adding certain natural plants that contained adaptogens to coffee gave their minds and body an incredible long-lasting boost they were amazed. So much so that they developed their own coffee adaptogen blends so others could also benefit. They were approached to get on Dragons' Den UK. They got offered a deal - but did they take it? What really happens behind the scenes? Do people really take the money? Zain shares their entrepreneurial journey including the role visualisation and manifesting played for them. He also provides a fascinating insight into what it is like to appear on Dragon´s Den. Yvonne and Zain also discuss the legal side of bringing investors into a company including some of the pros and cons of using this type of financing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Adaptogens which can be found in mushrooms, roots and other foods when combined with coffee are incredibly powerful. Adding the right adaptogens to coffee provides you with a more sustained boost. To work, the ingredients have to be high quality. To fully access the nutrients in mushrooms you need to consume an extract. To reach more people they have kept the price relatively low while keeping the quality super high. You can reset your body clock during travel using a simple adaptogen coffee. Being authentic in all you do is important. Prioritising serving others over continually increasing your profits is more likely to make you happier. Zain also shares a very effective sleep tip.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We started adding natural ingredients to coffee for like a more sustained boost. ´ ‘The first thought of the business isn't to make loads of money and sell the business. It’s to share adaptogens with different people.’ ‘We need an extract which makes the active compounds bioavailable so we can absorb them.’ GUEST AND EPISODE RESOURCES https://londonnootropics.com/  https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zainpeer  VALUABLE RESOURCES website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/ HOST BIO Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms.
