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

And I'm Antonia Dodge. Today we're continuing our two-part series on important childhood lessons that can be learned

for the different person or should be learned for the different personality types.

And we have, well if you listen to the last podcast which I

invite you to do before you listen to this one because we're gonna build on some of

those concepts this is part two right it's part two and this is right now us doing a little bit previously

on Personality Hacker.

We talked about IJ's and EPs and some of the important childhood

lessons that you as a parent, if you happen to be

parenting people of any of these eight personality types, some of the things that you can teach

them that are leverage points.

And then if you are one of those types and you didn't get that life lesson, maybe you should put yourself in a context in which you can pick it up now, even if it is more difficult. These are leverage point learnings.

And we were very chatty. In fact, we talked a really long time about both E. P. S. And we realized that we went a bit over time, so we split it into a two-part and so now we're going to address IPs and eJs and we've

split it up according to what we call the firm model. Now the firm model is a proprietary

model that we came up with to explain some of the fixations

that the different personality types have when they are trying to defend their driver or their

dominant function.

And so those fixations start to manifest over time

as we build strategies to ensure that we can spend

as much time as possible in those driver dominant functions.

So just a little bit of an overview of firm to remind you what that looks like and of course

we also invite you to go listen to the podcast on the topic and go buy a copy of our book because we wrote an entire chapter on it.
