Genius Juice is a smoothie company that blends the whole coconut (coconut water and coconut meat) into a creamy, plant-based drink.  It's a delicious beverage that appeared on season 11, episode 12 of Shark Tank.  Luckily the founder, Alex Bayer, was able to catch the eye of the sharks and after some negotiation, he was able to close a deal.  Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran went in together and agreed-upon $500,000 for a 25% stake in Genius Juice.

Well ... kind of.  The deal actually fell through afterward, and they never ended up investing in the company despite the episode showing otherwise.  In this clip of our podcast with Alex Bayer, he explains what this was like and what happens behind closed doors.  Once the cameras are off, everything changes.
