086: Ian Morgan Cron on The Road Back to You

What you don’t know about yourself can hurt you and your relationships―and maybe even how you make your way in the world. But in contrast, what you do know will empower you to live a focused, intentional, and very effective life. Many of us find ourselves stuck in a rut from time-to-time. Wouldn’t you want to know how you landed there and how to get unstuck?

Joining us today is author of The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery, Ian Morgan Cron. Today, we’re going to explore your authentic self through the lens of the Enneagram: an ancient personality type system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively. Maybe some of you are scoffing at me, saying, Chris, enough of the personality style conversation. That’s where I want to stay for a moment, because this is a much deeper, more meaningful topic than that. You were formed uniquely, for a specific purpose. I think we tend to put people in personality boxes too quickly. That’s why today, we’re talking about something more meaningful: our authentic self.

“So great to find a podcast that is both encouraging and challenging!

I really appreciate his heart and have been able to apply many of his topics in my life to help me grow professionally, physically, and relationally. A+!”
