94. Seeking Possibility and Cultivating Joy as an Enneagram Type 7
<p><span>When your first instinct is to seek possibility, stay stimulated, and move toward joy, what might that reveal about how you protect yourself from pain?</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>In this episode, I sit down with Aaron Fung, a learning, leadership development, and inclusion practitioner, career coach, father of two, and aspiring stand-up comic, for a nuanced conversation about Enneagram Type 7 and the core patterns of possibility, stimulation, joy, and avoidance. Together, we unpack how those traits show up in Aaron’s life, from his love of novelty and connection to his directness, intensity, humor, and deep commitment to fairness.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Aaron brings a rare mix of candor, humor, and self-awareness to this conversation. Across three separate discussions, we sort through two possible Enneagram types, Type 7 and Type 8, and explore the deeper motivations underneath his behavior: his drive for autonomy, his resistance to feeling trapped, his relationship with anger and justice, his need for stimulation, and the role comedy has played in helping him process difficult experiences.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>This conversation became a fascinating look at what it means to move through life by seeking possibility. We talk about joy, distraction, gluttony, vulnerability, power, and what happens when staying busy becomes both a strength and a shield. Aaron also shares openly about major life changes and how those experiences shaped the way he understands himself now.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>If you’ve ever wondered why you keep chasing the next idea, plan, experience, or source of joy, this episode offers a nuanced and very human window into those patterns. And, if you’re curious about the Enneagram, this episode gives you a glimpse into what exploring and understanding your type can actually sound like in real life.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want to explore this tool for yourself?

93. Building the Rooms You Want to Be In with Leah Haselhorst
<p><span>What does it look like to prepare for opportunity before it arrives?</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>In this episode, I talk all about this with Leah Haselhorst, VP of Marketing at Seed Talent, an employee enablement and brand training platform in the cannabis industry. Leah’s career began in music journalism, concerts, and large-scale events in Chicago before eventually leading her into cannabis marketing, where she found a powerful connection between her skills, her values, and the impact of the work.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>We talk about what Leah learned from high-pressure event environments, including how to set the tone in a room, manage other people’s energy without absorbing it, and move from perfectionism and people-pleasing toward a more grounded version of leadership.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Leah also shares what happened after she was laid off and how she rebuilt her confidence, visibility, and direction with intention. She talks about using LinkedIn to build real relationships, reconnecting with mentors, sharing her work more openly, and creating the conditions for her next opportunity to find her.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>We also get into self-directed learning and how Leah created her own “YouTube University” to grow into a broader marketing leadership role, from SEO and product marketing to leadership and marketing metrics.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>This conversation explores career reinvention, personal branding, burnout, thought work, cannabis marketing, and what it means to build the rooms you want to be part of.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li><span>Learn more about Seed Talent:</span><a href="https://seedtalent.com/" rel="nofollow"> </a><a href="https://seedtalent.com/" rel="nofollow">https://seedtalent.com/</a></li><li><span>Connect with Leah on LinkedIn: </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-haselhorst" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-haselhorst</a></li><li><a href="https://www.selfatwork.com/podcast/episode/24ca727f/61-how-do-i-define-my-personal-brand-replay-or-career-questions" rel="nofollow">Episode 61.

92. Analyzing and Figuring It All Out as an Enneagram Type 5
<p><span>When your first instinct is to analyze, understand, and figure things out for yourself, what might that reveal about how you create safety in the world?</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>In this episode, I sit down with my friend and podcast producer, Hayden Lyon, for a nuanced conversation about Enneagram Type 5 and the core patterns of analysis, self-sufficiency, and competency. Together, we unpack how those traits show up in Hayden’s life, from his resistance to authority to his drive to optimize, understand, and rely on himself first.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Hayden shares stories from a life that has taken many forms, from punk bands and motorcycle journeys across Europe to building a podcast production business and creating a life on his own terms. As we talk, we sort through three possible Enneagram Types and unpack the deeper motivations underneath his behavior: his resistance to authority, his drive to optimize everything, his need to feel capable and competent, and his tendency to analyze rather than emote.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>This conversation became a fascinating look at what it means to live primarily through the mind. We talk about self-sufficiency, overthinking, and emotional detachment.. In the second half of the episode, Hayden returns after reflecting on his type, and we go deeper into what it means for him to identify as a Type 5, including the gifts of that pattern and the places where it may be keeping him stuck.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>If you’ve ever wondered why you rely so heavily on being capable, knowledgeable, or hyper-rational, this episode offers a nuanced and very human window into those patterns. And, if you’re just curious about the Enneagram, this episode gives you a glimpse into what exploring and understanding your type can actually sound like in real life.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want to explore this tool for yourself?
