WARNING! Much like a phone call with Momo, this episode is interrupted many times by a poppy mae who woke up toooo early from her nap!

On today’s adventure Effy ‘Momo’ MacMorris chats with Chris Smith who is the host and producer of shows like Podtastic Audio (which I have personally used to start THIS podcast) and The Kris & Kristine Show! I am so excited to have him on today’s episode where we discuss some of the things that helped both of us when starting podcasting. We also discuss what tools we use that we really enjoy and what things just DO NOT work. Chris shares some personal stories about how podcasting became such a big part of his life while navigating being a single parent. It’s honestly a dream come true to have someone on this podcast who I’ve listened to in MY EARS before i even started this pod! I really hope you all enjoy it.

Thanks!

If you’ve ever thought about how you can show up a bit more for your neighbor, or if you’ve recently gotten a diagnosis in your family & have no idea where to start. This episode may help!  

Momo gets to sit down and chat with Aaron DeVries who is a relentless advocate for building stronger communities through inclusion! He proudly displays an “Inclusion” tattoo on his arm as a testament to his commitment.  Residing in
Minnesota with his partner and two cats, Aaron is also a proud father

at a young age. For over 15 years, he has fearlessly championed his
daughter's inclusion in school and community. Aaron has actively
served on boards and committees of disability-related organizations.

His dedication to inclusion is exemplified by his TEDx talks, "The

community, inspiring others to join him in the pursuit of a more
