Summary
I think there are truths which reveal the limitations of human language. And when this happens we have to rely on artists to express these great spiritual insights through an alternative language--like music or film or the visual arts or dance--to say clearly what the rest of us only feel vaguely. So, when I heard Ryan O'Neal, otherwise known as Sleeping At Last, was writing songs from the perspective of each of the Nine Enneagram Types, well as you can imagine, I was pretty intrigued.
On today's show, Sleeping At Last joins us to talk about this intriguing and wonderful series of new music and shares his song titled, "ONE" from the project, ATLAS: Year Two. You'll love hearing not only his music but also hearing his heart which I think is, well, evidently magnificent.
Sleeping At Last is the moniker of Chicago-based singer-songwriter, producer and composer, Ryan O'Neal. In 2013, Sleeping At Last began the long-form concept project, Atlas, which is an ongoing series of new music (EPs, Singles, etc) to be released over the course of several years. Atlas: Year One (30 songs) was completed in early 2014. Sleeping At Last is currently working on Atlas: Year Two.
Sleeping At Last can be heard frequently on popular TV Shows and Films such as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, The Fault In Our Stars – Trailer, Grey's Anatomy, So You Think You Can Dance, Criminal Minds, Bones, The Vampire Diaries, J.J. Abrams & Alfonso Cuaron's Believe and many more. (Click here for complete list)

| 0:00.0 | Hey, typology tribe. We have a great show for you today, but before we get started, |
| 0:05.3 | I have a really important announcement for you. As you can probably tell by now, |
| 0:10.0 | I love hosting the typology podcast. And for me, learning how we can use the anygram to become |
| 0:17.2 | our most authentic selves is really exciting. Few things are more important in my opinion, |
| 0:22.8 | then, than knowing and appreciating who we are, improving our relationships, and just simply |
| 0:28.6 | making the world a better, more compassionate place by becoming more self-knowledgeable people. |
| 0:35.8 | But as you can imagine, there are costs associated with producing a show that says, |
| 0:42.0 | well put together as the one we aspire to bring you every week. Like, there's the equipment, |
| 0:47.6 | the time spent recruiting guests, administration, the recording of the show, post-production editing, |
| 0:53.8 | licensing music, not to mention the cost of my private yoga instructor and the maintenance |
| 0:58.5 | on my Florida vacation home. But I digress. So today, I'm launching a Patreon campaign. Now, |
| 1:06.4 | if you're not familiar with it, Patreon is a way for you to support content you love on a monthly |
| 1:13.4 | basis. For as little as $1 a month, did you hear me, friends? $1 a month. You can partner with us |

| 1:50.8 | you get a bunch of great bonus content as well, which you can learn about at our Patreon page, |
| 1:57.2 | which is www.patrion.com, backslashtypology. All right, friends, let's get to our show. |
| 2:11.4 | Not a day goes by in Nashville. When someone doesn't tell you to check out an amazing new artist or |
| 2:23.9 | band, this happens so often that you learn not to pay too much attention until four or five people |
| 2:30.6 | tell you to scope out the same one. That's how I met today's guest. People kept telling me I had to |
