On this episode, Tyler and Austin welcome two social entrepreneurs, Jesse and Kristan Papirio. Athletes, scientists, activists, and sisters, their passion for food and zeal for justice was the jumpstart for their company: Rise Nutrition. Join our conversation to hear how they are using data driven, people-centered nutrition programs to not only fuel high performance athletes, but change lives in rural communities. The impact side of their business, Seeds to Rise, is far beyond the average social corporate responsibility model. It is the core of what they do. Join us as Jesse and Kristan share how Liberation Theology has inspired an accompaniment model with their community partners. Check out the links mentioned in the show and a short quotation, from the Jesse, about how they are re-enchanting how we think about nutrition and justice.

"You don't have to look very far or examine very closely to see that there is something terribly wrong with the world - things are not as they should be. Suffering makes a preferential option for the poor and oppressed and therefore we as christians must do the same. Suffering is not meant to be shouldered just by the oppressed, satisfaction is not owned by those who don't suffer. We are the body of Christ - we are bound up in all of it together. May we be passionately unsatisfied with the way things are. Because the world that is satisfying to us is the same world that is utterly devastating to them." - Jesse
