Joe and Serenity Carr seem to be doing exactly what they were meant to do: building the healthiest baby food company on the market. Both have dealt with their share of health struggles. Both were sick as children, eating readily available junk food and not minding much attention to their health. Serenity and Joe's food choices as children ultimately led to ill health. Serenity struggled with leaky gut and inflammation after her poor diet put her on antibiotics. Joe struggled with a poor diet, which ultimately led to complications when it came to managing his diagnosis with a form of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Both found themselves looking for answers. It wasn't until they discovered the power of the Paleo diet that the light bulb went off: food is medicine. As young parents, Joe & Serenity felt an obligation to feed their family the best food possible, yet when it came to finding baby food they found nothing that met their standards. What started out as a personal need, quickly turned into a serious business opportunity and the creation of their business: Serenity Kids. As you'll hear during our conversation, we discussed each of their journeys to finding good health, overcoming adversity in life and business, and the spiritual practice of entrepreneurship & starting a family.
