About this episode
Jon Herold sits down with Adrian and Cristina of Rise Attire for one of the most unexpectedly moving episodes yet. What started as a desperate prayer into the internet void during the chaos of 2020 turned into a business, a marriage, and a movement. Adrian and Cristina share how they met across state lines, got deplatformed by both Shopify and GoFundMe in back to back gut punches, and turned a live DJ dance party on Pilled into a surprise on camera proposal and a crowdfunded comeback. They dig into the real cost of staying made in America, the advertising blackout that censors their brand across every major platform, and their expansion through Rise INTL. Plus, they share jaw dropping family histories rooted in surviving Soviet camps, Nazi concentration camps, and the Spanish Civil War, and two new film projects that are pushing the info war into a new creative frontier. This is the love story nobody expected.
