Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today I had the pleasure of speaking with Kris Keppeler, an audiobook narrator, voice actress, and writer. Kris shared her fascinating journey from growing up in the snowy Midwest to exploring the arts and finding her passion in acting and voiceover work. She opened up about her experiences moving from Ohio to Michigan and then to Washington State, where she discovered a love for the arts that would shape her career. Kris's story is one of resilience and determination, as she faced discouragement in her singing journey but persevered to find her voice. We discussed her transition from stage acting to film and voiceover, and how her background in opera has influenced her work. Kris also shared insights into her creative process, her love for storytelling, and her passion for helping others through her podcast and YouTube channel. If you're curious about the world of voice acting or looking for inspiration to pursue your dreams, this episode is for you!

If we are to build systems that meet our real needs we have to first understand what those needs are and start growing the stuff that will allow us to thrive: good food from healthy soils, safe and supportive homes and communities, space to develop and express our creativity, opportunities to increase our capacity for co-operation and kindness.  As much as these, though, we need to understand what an economy is for - why it does what it does. And while we're all clear that the death cult of Predatory Capitalism exists to enrich the few at the expense of the rest of the living web, it's not always clear what a flourishing economy might look like.  So we're going to explore exactly this with our guest today. Inez Aponte is a self-described 'Dissident of Capitalism', she's an educator, storyteller, and consultant who's spent 15 years bridging mainstream economics with human-scale alternatives. Using the Human Scale Development Approach (Barefoot Economics), she helps professionals see the economic system itself, and imagine what comes next.Barefoot Economics (also known as Human Scale Development) was developed by Manfred Max-Neef and colleagues in Chile as a response to the predations of the colonial capital system. It reframes economic thinking away from endless wants and towards nine fundamental needs: Subsistence, Freedom, Participation, Understanding, Affection, Creation, Idleness, Protection and Identity.We are wealthy when our needs are satisfied, regardless of our income. This means we can also be poor in multiple ways, even when we have a ‘healthy' bank balance.Inez has built this forward into a framework for the 21st century. Her 'Beautiful Economies Learning Lab' breaks people out of mainstream economic thinking to explore how we can build systems that meet real needs while healing ourselves, communities, and the Earth.So this is our deep dive.  Let's go. https://www.beautifuleconomies.com/https://library.uniteddiversity.coop/Money_and_Economics/The_Future_of_Money-Bernard_Lietaer.pdfWhat we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join our next Open Gathering offered by our Accidental Gods Programme it's  'Dreaming Your Year Awake' (you don't have to be a member) on Sunday 4th January 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT - details are hereIf you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Company Road Podcast, Chris Hudson welcomes Jet Swain, design guru and founder of The Affection Economy, a transformative framework for how we lead, work, and measure success.Jet argues that the next great economy isn't built on logic alone, but on affection, defined as people, purpose, and values. Drawing on an incredible 35-year career spanning advertising, architecture, systems design, and policy, Jet has seen systems that have lost their soul and their care.She helps organisations move beyond quarterly targets to build cultures of courage, connection, and care. This conversation is a vital listen for intrapreneurs, examining why empathy is not enough and how to move to compassion (which she defines as action). We discuss everything from the need to dismantle 1950s childcare policies to the role of "meliorism", the idea that the world can be made better by human effort, to drive micro-movements of change within your business.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why the Affection Economy is "care as strategy" and not a soft skill.The difference between empathy (knowing how someone feels) and compassion (taking action).Why leaders must first "come home to your values" before trying to implement corporate values.A powerful example of systemic change: redesigning maternity leave (designed by men, for men ) into flexible parenting or carers leave.The concept of "meliorism" and why intrapreneurs are best positioned to enact those tiny, courageous acts that shape culture.How to achieve both profit and purpose instead of being forced to choose one.Key LinksJet Swain's Website: jetswain.com About our guestJet Swain is the Founder of The Affection Economy, a movement and methodology born from her 35-year career in advertising, architecture, systems design, and policy. As an executive leader, speaker, and author of the upcoming book The Affection Economy, Jet helps organisations build effective, ethical performance by centering their work around people, purpose, and values. She is driven by the conviction that human-hearted design, which leads with the heart, creates safety and healthier cultures.About our hostOur host, Chris Hudson, is an Intrapreneurship Coach, Teacher, Experience Designer and Founder of business transformation coaching and consultancy Company Road.Company Road was founded by Chris Hudson, who saw over-niching and specialisation within corporates as a significant barrier to change.Chris considers himself incredibly fortunate to have worked with some of the world's most ambitious and successful companies, including Google, Mercedes-Benz, Accenture (Fjord) and Dulux, to name a small few.

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Dec 3, 2025 Step into this season by deliberately dedicating yourself, your time, and your inner life to the Lord, knowing that nothing done in the flesh can produce the fruit heaven desires. Yield fully to the Holy Spirit, who alone empowers true prayer, lifts you beyond distraction, and aligns your heart with the purposes of God. Approach Him with the awareness that small moments of surrender often become the ignition points of great spiritual acceleration—tiny sacrifices that open the way to extraordinary encounters. Let the Spirit make your heavenly seat tangible to you; as you pray, allow the truth of Zion—your place among angels, the righteous perfected, and the blood that speaks better things—to reshape how you see yourself and your authority in the Spirit. Recognize your identity as one born from above, privileged with divine access, wealth, inheritance, and nearness to God Himself. Delight in the Word of God until meditation becomes both instinctive and irresistible. Affection gives meditation its strength, so cultivate joy in Scripture by immersing yourself repeatedly until your soul erupts with hunger and revelation. Refuse spiritual superficiality—do not settle for leaves without roots. Instead, push beyond inspiration into transformation, crossing the threshold where encounter becomes explosion and the seed of God produces fruit after His kind. Plant yourself deeply in the rivers of living water, allowing the continual flow of the Spirit to renew your mind, stabilize your emotions, and empower consistent obedience. Embrace the discipline that binds the sacrifice to the altar—structure your life, guard your atmosphere, silence distractions, and create rhythms that keep your soul anchored in devotion. Offer yourself without reserve, trusting that the consuming fire of God refines, purifies, and reshapes you into His likeness. Let your worship become identity: become the sacrifice, become the offering, become the fragrance that rises continually before Him. As you do, His Spirit works within you, removing blemishes, uprooting rebellion, burning away resistance, and imprinting the realities of Christ upon your soul. Expect peace, clarity, instruction, and stirring as you dwell in His presence. Expect joy in the house of the Lord. Expect cravings for communion to rise within you like holy instincts. Stand in watchfulness and priestly responsibility, lifting intercession for believers in dangerous regions or under persecution. Call forth divine intervention, angelic deliverance, supernatural warnings, and miraculous protection. Pray that their strength is renewed, their spiritual senses sharpened, and their lives preserved by the mercy of God. Even for those who may face martyrdom, pray that their journey aligns only with the perfect will of the Lord and that heaven's purpose is upheld without fear or interruption. Stay sensitive to spiritual signals—those warnings sent repeatedly by the Spirit—not treating them lightly but responding with urgency, discernment, and readiness. Ask for ears that hear clearly, hearts that respond quickly, and minds that understand heaven's timing. Reject dullness. Reject delay. Embrace spiritual intelligence, alertness, and obedience so that the purposes of God are not hindered by distraction or slothfulness. Live every moment anchored in your heavenly identity, rooted in the Word, bound to the altar, empowered by the Spirit, and devoted to the purposes of God. Allow consecration to shape your decisions, hunger to shape your habits, revelation to shape your worldview, and worship to shape your posture. Walk as one who knows their place in Zion, who moves with authority and tenderness, who intercedes with power and compassion, and who steps boldly into every day as a living sacrifice saturated with the presence, wisdom, and fire of God.

Today, we're diving into a topic that's increasingly shaping our personal lives: the rise of AI companions, and how these so-called 'perfect partners' are fundamentally altering our expectations for real-world relationships. Imagine a companion who offers no rejection, no compromise, no conflict, and delivers instant affection with a personality customized just for you. Sounds appealing, right? But the growing concern is that this digital perfection comes at a steep price for genuine human connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

From there, the classmates dive into moments of personal ignorance and growth, sharing candid stories that highlight how humor, vulnerability, and participation fuel real conversation [05:42 Ignorant Moments: Class Participation and Sharing].

Pop culture continues with a conversation about Ryan Murphy’s new show and Kim Kardashian’s acting performance, questioning talent, opportunity, and industry access [23:37 Ryan Murphy's New Show: Kim Kardashian's Acting Skills].

The episode wraps with a spirited conversation on tipping culture, debating when tipping is appropriate, whether it's becoming an expectation versus a reward, and how service standards have evolved [01:16:58 Tipping Culture and Service Expectations]. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media @jayjurden Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Berthe Morisot and Édouard Manet: Art, Affection, and the Struggle Against Bourgeois Expectations. Sebastian Smee discusses how the Impressionists lived amidst the violence of the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. Berthe Morisot came from the wealthy haute bourgeoisie and, along with her sister Edma, became a serious painter, successfully exhibiting at the Salon. However, women of their background were expected to marry and give up painting. Berthe, still unmarried at 29 in 1869, was devoted to her art when she met Édouard Manet at the Louvre. Manet was captivated by Berthe and invited her to pose for The Balcony. Despite precautions, a mutual flirtation developed, though Manet was married to Suzanne, which stood as an impediment.

They talk about some of the reasons church attendance has declined in importance while also warning against it becoming a legalistic endeavor.

How do parents cultivate a child's affection? First and foremost, model love in your marriage. You can be perfect technicians in child training, but if you're snippety toward your spouse, you'll undo everything—so teach your children, by example, what loving respect is through your conversations. Second, give clear expectations and hold your children to them. You only get what you insist on, so promptly discipline them in love when they cross the line. Finally, don't allow your children to constantly interrupt, but teach them to wait to ask questions by modeling patience as husband and wife.
