Hi, welcome back to the Personality Hacker Podcast. My name is Joel Mark Witt.

And I'm Antonia Dodge. I read a comment in our Facebook group, it's called It Tooative Awakening, and I read a comment that struck me that I just, I hadn't anticipated seeing this in print ever.

The person was responding to a comment.

the system in personal growth. The other part was the idea that most people aren't that

familiar beyond their first two functions and that made me think well if you're

using it for personal growth and development then you must be you have to be

familiar with more than just your first two functions and that reminded me that I

don't think that you and I have done a podcast on almost like the ideal relationship one
