About this episode

In this incredibly powerful episode of the Business As Mission Podcast, host Mike Baer sits down with two incredible partners: Simon, a local entrepreneur in Southeast Asia, and Mark, an investor from Australia. They share the inspiring story of how a single high-value crop—Sacha Inchi—combined with a faith-filled vision and strategic partnership, is fundamentally changing the lives of 1,500+ farming families.

Learn how Simon went from starting with zero resources to building a sustainable agribusiness that provides stable income for hard-working villagers, earns the trust of the local government, and serves as a platform to spread hope through community development projects like children's homes and women's programs.

This conversation highlights the vital role of Agribusiness as Mission (BAM), focusing on:

Overcoming the challenge of cashflow management and finding stable markets.
The importance of relational partnerships over quick financing.
Breaking the "colonial model" by building a local value chain and processing high-value products like Sacha Inchi milk.
How to find and nurture local, godly entrepreneurs ("Simons") ready for growth.

Hear the full story of integrity, partnership, and impact that is a beautiful blueprint for Business as Mission success worldwide!
