Jose Rodriguez & Erika Espinel

Media Directors

Jose Rodriguez and Erika Espinel are a husband-and-wife creative team and the founders of motionfarm.io, a creative services studio serving life sciences, healthcare, and technology companies. With over 15 years of combined experience in video, media content, and graphic design, spanning Fortune 500 brands to cancer research labs, they bring a deep understanding of how powerful storytelling can drive real change. Their connection to the Endurant Movement began when a mutual friend introduced them to Neal and Samara's vision. What started as a single donated video quickly became a calling. Touched by Anthony's story and no strangers to life's harder chapters themselves, Jose and Erika felt a profound pull to serve the mission beyond a professional capacity. Now as Media Directors, they lead the video, podcast, and social media efforts for the Endurant Movement, amplifying real stories with the conviction that well-told stories are the foundation of meaningful change in our world.
