Actor, musician and poet Jordan Stephens joins Caggie in today's episode, to discuss creativity, mental health and how we begin to craft our authentic identity in our late twenties. Like Caggie, Jordan found fame at a young age as part of pop duo Rizzle Kicks, and describes his early twenties as hedonistic and self-destructive. They discuss how and why we self-sabotage, Jordan's path to sobriety and the wonderfully simple principles to live by for a happier and healthier mind and life.

Caggie first encountered this unique adaptogenic coffee brand at the Harvest wellness summit in Turkey, where its distinctive blend left a lasting impression.

Now, London Nootropics is bringing this ancient wisdom to modern consumers with their high-quality, natural adaptogenic coffee blends designed to help you flow through your day.
Thrilled to partner with Saturn Returns, Shez and Zain join Caggie for a candid conversation about their entrepreneurial journey. From the initial spark of an idea to the adrenaline-fueled pitch on Dragons’ Den, they share the challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons learned from bootstrapping their brand right from their kitchen.
