About this listen

The Enneagram is a map of the human personality. It’s a tool for navigating relationships. It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself. This is Jeff Cook and T.J. Wilson going around the circle to discuss various topics and how they affect each type.Around the Circle 2024 | 394730 Philosophy Social Sciences Spirituality

  • Generations | Boomer, Silent, Greatest with Tyler Zach
    Oct 9 2025

    Jeff sits down with Tyler Zach to preview his upcoming Midlife Summit (Oct 21–24). They dig into why “midlife has a branding problem,” the U-curve of happiness, and how the second half can move us from productivity to fruitfulness. Tyler shares tear-worthy moments from the panels (don’t miss the Sevens), why 60 is still “midlife,” and what happens when elders step into being elders—sages who lend hard-won wisdom across generations.

    In this episode:

    • Midlife ≠ crisis: redefining the forties, fifties, and sixties as seasons of ascent
    • “Rehiring,” not retiring: purpose, reinvention, and new risks later in life
    • From skills to wisdom: becoming an elder instead of just getting older
    • Integrating the three centers with age—and why that brings real joy
    • Generational cycles (spring/summer/fall/winter) and what Gen Z can build next
    • Stories of resilience through illness, loss, and the long cocoon

    About the Summit:

    The Midlife Summit runs Oct 21–24 and streams free for four days (with optional lifetime access at an early-bird price). Panels feature respected voices from the Narrative tradition, the Enneagram Institute, Personality Hacker, and more. Grab the link in the show notes to register and see the full lineup.

  • Mistyping Twos | with Jackie Contessa
    Oct 6 2025

    Enneagram Two gets a fresh look. Jeff sits down with coach and creator Jackie Contessa to unpack why “the Helper” label misses the mark and how that shortcut fuels mistyping. They trace the real motives at play—pride, flattery, intrusion, hidden grief, and the drive to “etch a role” in others’ lives—and name how gendered expectations distort typing (why many women lean Two and many men avoid it). Jeff and Jackie contrast Twos with Ones: duty and betterment vs. relational payoff, resentment from suppressed anger vs. resentment from unmet exchanges. They also hit possessiveness, boundaries as relationship-keepers, external energy vs. inner world, and the Two-to-Eight stress move. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I a Two—or just helpful?” this one gives you a sharper lens.
