This is the story of how I started a podcast.

My friends Erin and Christel are Enneagram enthusiasts, & we connected during an Enneagram class at church. We were hanging out last summer and they mentioned their dream of doing a podcast together. I also had a dream of making an Enneagram podcast.

In episode 23 of the Towards Eden Podcast, I chat with Blake Boardman about how he uses the Enneagram in his role as an HR trainer. He introduced the Enneagram to his workplace to help solve the communication issues that everyone kept bringing up. Months later, he’s mapped out 50 of his coworkers on the Enneagram, and they use it to understand each other and communicate more effectively. Blake is an Enneagram type 6.

Max Partain, freelance video editor, jumps into the Enneagram headfirst. In this episode we explore several types to try to try to find out which Enneagram number best fits Max. He’s been mistyped by other people over the years. So how do you actually figure out your type?
