To Dine For

Shotput Media

Journalist Kate Sullivan transports you to restaurants around the country to hear the diverse stories of entrepreneurs, creatives, innovators and change-agents at their favorite restaurant. The show is a celebration of people who have taken an idea from ”inspiration to execution” through their own imagination and hard work and are now using their success to help others and ultimately change the world. It’s also a celebration of food and the place it holds in our life stories. Despite different races, religions, and beliefs, sitting down to a delicious meal over fascinating conversation can often get to the heart of what life is all about.

  • 186 - Alex Jones

    Alex Jones is the CEO and Co-Founder of Hallow, a Catholic start-up focused on prayer, meditation, music, Bible, and sleep. The app launched just over 3.5 years ago, but has grown quickly and just crossed 1 billion minutes prayed. 8 million downloads, 170 million prayers prayed, 100,000 5-star reviews, and is considered the number one Catholic app in the world. 


    Alex was raised Catholic and fell away from his faith at a young age, before something in his early adulthood changed everything. We discuss the journey to creating Hallow, similarities between prayer and meditation, and Alex’s faith journey.

  • 185 - Allison Ellsworth

    Allison Ellsworth is the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Poppi. After facing numerous gut-health issues but dissatisfied by the solutions her doctors came up with, Ellsworth discovered apple cider vinegar. After noticing its immense health benefits but bad taste, Allison and her husband Stephen created Mother Beverage, a prebiotic soda that makes apple cider vinegar taste good.


    From selling at farmer’s markets to getting an investment on Shark Tank, Poppi has revolutionized the soda industry by doing the unthinkable: creating a soda that is both tasty and good for you. Poppi sodas have been seen in the hands of Billie Eilish, Russell Westbrook, Jennifer Lopez, and many of your favorite celebrities. Poppi’s grape flavor won Food and Beverage Magazine’s Product of the Year for 2023, and the brand is the number one best-selling soda on Amazon.
