In the final episode of this season, we explore Type 2 through the films I Love You, Man and Dead Man Walking.
-
In this episode we discuss Type 5 through the films The Imitation Game and Annihilation. While both have some great Type 5 moments and characters, they portray very different aspects of what 5s are all about.

We discuss Type 7, "Striving to Feel Excited", through the films Beverly Hills Cop and Trainwreck. One shows the lighter, more carefree side of the 7, and one takes a more realistic look at the downside of "too much of a good thing." Join us for some fun!
-
In this episode we discuss Type 6, "Striving to Feel Secure," through the films Meet the Parents and Erin Brockovich.
-
In this episode we look at Type 9, "Striving to Feel Peaceful". Wonder Boys (the box office bomb but surprising great film) and Four Weddings and a Funeral have some great Type 9 characters (and energy) going on. Join us!
-
In this episode we explore Type 3, "Striving to Feel Outstanding, through the films Edge of Tomorrow and Molly's Game. Tom Cruise... the Three-est Three ever to Three... plays a different kind of Three than he normally does, and Molly Bloom pushes herself to the limit. Both films are a good example of the "growth journey" of Type 3, albeit in different ways.
-
In this episode we talk about those who are Striving to Feel Perfect... Type 1. Sicario and Chocolat are both great examples of the "The Journey of Type 1", although in very different ways.
-
In this episode we explore the depths of those striving to feel unique... Type Four. We look at the films "Withnail and I" and "Pitch Perfect" to see different sides and levels of health.
-
In this episode we switch from the Instinctual Biases and begin talking about the strategies. First up... Type 8 (the best Type according to Mario, although he might be biased).
-
In this episode we discuss the Preserving Instinctual Bias through the films Father of the Bride and No Reservations. TJ Ingrassia forced Mario and TJ Dawe to sit through them in order to exact his revenge after being tortured through Grease and Purple Rain. Regardless, they're great examples of what Preservers are all about!
-
In this episode we discuss the Navigating Instinctual Bias through the films Mean Girls and Goodfellas, two movies that have surely never been discussed as having anything to do with each other. Listen to find out why we think they're a perfect match!
-
In this episode we discuss the Transmitting Instinctual Bias through the films Purple Rain and Moana. They demonstrate two sides of Transmitting that, at first glance, appear to be very different from each other.

In the final episode of Season Three, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe, TJ Ingrassia and special guest Seth âCreekâ Creekmore talk about âInterstellar,â directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matthew McConaughey. Seth shares what inspired him to choose this film to discuss and why he thought the musical score by Composer Hans Zimmer was a beautiful contrast to the film. In typical fashion, the four hosts explore the Enneagram types of the characters as well as the themes of the film, which includes the value of human life.
âIt just feels like a Four inner journey for me. Like just the sweeping, large, expansive, but organic, dark and longing and uncertain. Itâs just, I dunno. I think it just mirrors some part of myself back to me.â - Seth Creekmore [07:57]
âMy guess is that Christopher Nolan is a Five, and it seemed like a pretty big Five-ish framing of love. Love is something that we can quantify, or even if thereâs something mysterious about it, itâs a signifier of something we donât get yet, implying that love is something that we can and should factor into our calculations.â - TJ Dawe [24:49]
âThe script feels kind of Five-ish, but itâs being played by this guy whoâs got this cool, chill Nine-ish vibe with some Seven-ish excitement and wonder.â - TJ Ingrassia [39:56]
âThe whole movie was about Three stuff in my mind, because it was about aspiration.â - Mario Sikora [43:05]

In this episode, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe and TJ Ingrassia are joined by Russ Hudson to discuss Marioâs all-time favorite movie, âThe Thin Red Line.â The 1998 war film marked the return of director Terrence Malick, after 20 years from his last film. The four hosts discuss the higher Enneagram themes at play in the film as well as the Enneagram types of some of the characters.
âI think weâre meant not to see these people as individual hermetically-sealed identities moving against a static background, but thereâs a certain fluidity. And I think the reason for the casting that way and not dwelling a long time on any single character was meant to put us into this framework of how weâre all kind of connected in all of this.â - Russ Hudson [29:04]
âI think thereâs a very Four-ish theme in the film, is that thereâs depth and beauty in every single person, regardless of the fact that many of them look alike, that theyâre dressed alike, that they have to do the same thing.â - TJ Dawe [45:26]
âStep away from the judgment, because the judgment keeps us separated. But once we let go of the judgment, then we can find unity again.â - Mario Sikora [1:09:36]
âThe first time I watched it, I was trying to decide if I thought Witt has some Four-ish stuff going on, because a lot of this feeling and affect from him honestly feels a lot like my wife whoâs a Four. Just sort of this acception of the reality of whatâs going on, and a deep empathy of humanity. Sort of a closeness to death, not even in a dark morose kind of way. Just a transcendence acceptance of the reality of death.â - TJ Ingrassia [1:31:16]

In this episode, MarĂa JosĂ© Munita returns to the podcast to talk with Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe and TJ Ingrassia about their favorite movie, âGroundhog Day.â The four discuss the psychospiritual elements and philosophical themes in the film as well as the Enneagram types for the main characters. They also talk about how the film illustrates the process of growth.
âWithout the explanation, heâs sort of protagonist and antagonist at the same time, and so it just focuses on him and his experience. I think itâs much for the better that they didnât go down that road.â - TJ Ingrassia [17:24]
âThatâs what happens with Nines. They can say the worst thing to you and they will sound nice anyways most times.â - MarĂa JosĂ© Munita [28:45]
âThe thought that came with that is the dawning of curiosity comes after youâve hit the wall. And so much personal work comes, not when somebody else tells us that we should do it or you see a list online or something like that, but when you reach a point where you just have to have that moment of clarity, that conversation with yourself of like whatâs going on?â - TJ Dawe [1:03:45]
âMarĂa JosĂ© was talking about how change feels uncomfortable and unnatural. I like to use the analogy of wearing someone elseâs clothes. Itâs just doesnât feel quite right.â - Mario Sikora [1:05:32]

In this episode, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe and TJ Ingrassia are joined by special guests, Clay Tumey, author of âThe Blue Chip Store: How Bank Robbery Changed My Life,â and Susan Olesek, founder of Enneagram Prison Project. The panel of five discuss the 1994 drama, âThe Shawshank Redemption,â starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. With the film set in a prison, Clay draws from his experience in prison while Susan explores her work with incarcerated people and the Enneagram to not only look at the movie about a man who is wrongfully accused of murder, but to also examine it as a story of a person whoâs trapped in a personality.
âI also thought that with this character captured better than almost anything Iâve seen about the Fives is the tenderness at the heart of the Type Five. This sweetness, this kindness that most people donât get to see because what they see is the detached piece.â - Mario Sikora [35:36]
âThereâs so much generosity in the Five, and I love that youâre highlighting it because I think thatâs why we love the Five so much.â - Susan Olesek [38:21]
âI just didnât buy it from him in terms of feeling like he really meant it. It almost felt like he was more using that as a cover to just have power over people. But that could speak to his unhealthier⊠Thatâs a way an unhealthy one would use some of that is they donât really believe it for themselves. They just believe it for other people or something.â - TJ Ingrassia [1:01:40]
âCaptain Hadley, he embodies everything that I appreciate about Type Eight, even when heâs beating the hell out of people. The thing that I appreciate is I never have to wonder, almost never have to wonder where I stand with the Type Eight.â - Clay Tumey [1:08:07]
âThat got me thinking, this movie works as a metaphor for being in any life situation that you believe youâre stuck in, and thereâs a better life somewhere on the horizon. How do I get there? And one of the ways, certainly not the only way, but the Andy Dufresne way, is a little bit at a time.â - TJ Dawe [1:21:46]

In this episode, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe, and TJ Ingrassia are joined by special guest Nhien Vuong to discuss the 1993 film, âFearless, directed by Peter Weir and starring Jeff Bridges, Rosie Perez and Isabella Rossellini. While the four hosts discuss the characterâs Enneagram Types, they also explore the themes in the film, such as managing change based on trauma, and what the Enneagram teaches about the fundamental human dynamics. They look into the inner triangle of the Enneagram, particularly the Core Qualities.
âThis is not a movie that has a logic to it. It is an experience.â - Mario Sikora [11:50]
âI think by your definition that this movie is a poem. Nobody speaks in poetic language, but it isnât a linear narrative. It is a linear narrative, although thereâs a number of flashbacks. It is about something that happens to a person, but itâs more a meditation on or an exploration of a theme or any number of themes.â - TJ Dawe [42:29]
âActually, as you were sharing about interdependence, I really touched to hear you and both of the TJs share. It is striking how this conversation is so beyond the movie itself, but what touched you is a window into you.â - Nhien Vuong [54:28]
âItâs like he survived the crash and woke up in this dimension where he has access to these newer insights. He doesnât want to live like a coward anymore. He doesnât want to be ruled by fear anymore, but I think thereâs a big tie in humanity in general between genius and madness. If you want the genius component, thereâs going to be some madness that goes along with it.â - TJ Ingrassia [18:09]

In this episode, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe and TJ Ingrassia discuss the 1987 film, âThe Princess Bride,â and reveal how easy it can be to look at a film and interpret it differently. The hosts examine the Enneagram Types for each character, at times not agreeing. Is Iñigo Montoya a Type Three or Type Four? What Enneagram Type do they see for Wallace Shawnâs Vizzini? Why was Andre the Giantâs character, Fezzik, the perfect Type Nine? Listen as the hosts share their thoughts on these and other characters.
âI thought Count Rugen was maybe the one of the best Fives Iâve ever seen in a movie. Talk about detached.â - TJ Dawe [29:18]
âThe Navigating One, I think, is a subtype thatâs often misunderstood. Other people call this the Social One, and people have a tendency to think the so-called Social One is a reformer. Somebody who wants to change the world. Thatâs not whatâs going on here.â - Mario Sikora [33:24]
âIf I had a thousand years with this movie, I never would have guessed One. I had her as a Four all day long, and maybe part of this is because⊠I might be biased, because my wife is a Four. And I felt like I was watching my wife through the course of this film.â - TJ Ingrassia [35:53]

In this episode, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe and TJ Ingrassia discuss the 2011 movie, âBridesmaids,â starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne. The three hosts explore the film about status and friendships and examine the charactersâ Enneagram Types. Listen as they debate which Enneagram Type is Wiigâs character, Annie. Is she a Type Six or a Type Two? Mario also introduces new categories to discuss the Enneagram themes in the movie.
âThis is whatâs so interesting about the Enneagram is the external traits can look so similar. Itâs a fictional film and so different types can be reacting exactly the same way. We donât necessarily have access to her internal drives and childhood traumas and all this kind of stuff, so it could just be a⊠Itâs a bit of a Rorschach test.â - TJ Ingrassia [14:27]
âI think Nine-ish characters are very common as the heroes in Judd Apatow flicks, because theyâre just these easygoing, unambitious, salt-of-the-earth kind of guys that you just canât help but like.â - Mario Sikora [36:49]
âThatâs another side of Eights that people donât often see because Eights present themselves as so tough. That they didnât necessarily just stride through life like Conan the Barbarian smashing down obstacles with their club at every turn. Eights can be bullied.â - TJ Dawe [45:48]

The three hosts explore the questions, âDoes the pursuit of pleasure lead to happiness? Can any man or woman truly be an island?â They also examine the characters, Will, Marcus, Fiona and Ellie, and their Enneagram Types.
