This episode is not sponsored by Ground Up PDX - just two friends chatting again after 13 years.
In this interview with Carolyn Cesario, co-founder of Ground Up PDX, we delve into the inspiring journey of building a mission-driven company that empowers women in transition. Founded in 2016 alongside co-founder Julie Sullivan, Ground Up PDX creates gourmet nut butters while providing a transformative job training program for women overcoming homelessness. Carolyn shares insights into the unique flavors developed, such as Coconut Cardamom and Lavender Honey, and how the company has successfully expanded from local farmers' markets to major retailers like Whole Foods and Target. The conversation highlights the importance of collaboration with local nonprofits and influencers to amplify their impact and reach a wider audience.

I can't think of a better person to share this conversation with me than Tripti G. Chandorkar. I was blessed to have her as a colleague 17 years ago working in consulting. Our shared experiences bound us, and we are again creating something we both love for Xiang Li Art.
In this conversation, we explore the beginning of working together on Xiang Li Art, building up the Etsy store filled with a variety of merch, and running art exhibitions (solo and group shows) at some of the most recognized museums in the state of MA and nationwide, such as Harvard Museums, Worcester Art Museum, and a local boutique event venue named JMAC.
Through Xiang Li Art, we celebrate women (including the 3 of us) and women in Chinese history, namely the 200+ empressed paintings all using watercolor on silk by Xiang Li over 12 years (2012 - present).
I once wondered if anyone would care, and if Xiang Li's art can truly speak to people who aren't as familiar with Chinese history. Together with Tripti, we discovered the shared experiences and interests with so many women, families, and friends we met along the way.
Thank you for listening to any part of the conversation. I hope you'll share your learnings and reflections with us.
