Summary
Bestselling author Ian Morgan Cron introduces the Enneagram, a personality typing system which identifies nine different personality types, their motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. As Ian explains, understanding your enneagram can help you better understand your motivations for why you want to do the things you do, which has direct implications in budgeting. Understanding the motivations and perspectives of others, especially those with polar differences in personality, can help you mitigate conflict and reach compromise in your family relationships and in the workplace.
Ian Morgan Cron is a psychotherapist, Episcopal priest, and an accomplished author. His book The Road Back to You champions the Enneagram for people that seek to better "know thyself."

| 0:00.0 | Hello, whinevers. My name is Jesse Meakum and this is podcast number 474 for whinev, where |
| 0:10.5 | we teach you four rules to help you stop even paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt |
| 0:13.2 | and save more money today. I am very, very pleased to have Ian Morgan-Kron on the podcast. |
| 0:21.0 | He is the author of a, a, a, the best-known book on the anyogram. It's called The Road |
| 0:26.6 | Back to You. I grabbed it off my shelf to show you. It's wonderful. Before we even got started |
| 0:32.8 | on the interview, Ian's like you did that like an eight and he was right. I emanate. So honestly, |
| 0:41.2 | this interview was really fun for me because it was just Ian kind of digging into my brain |
| 0:47.1 | a little bit, explaining me to me and also maybe giving us all a little bit of a window into |
| 0:53.9 | ourselves. I've found the anyogram to be extremely useful in the last little while. Well, |
| 1:02.3 | since I found out I'm an eight and I've noticed that I've created a little bit of a gap between |
| 1:09.7 | stimulus and response that I've found useful in all kinds of situation, most notably, probably |
| 1:16.9 | parenting, not money. But we do dive into how different anyograms might work as it relates to |
| 1:22.4 | money. Ian cautions me on abusing the anyogram. He's a masterful teacher and he just unpacks it all |
| 1:30.9 | for us in a very, very nice, understandable, open and honest way. He was an absolute pleasure to |
| 1:37.3 | talk to. So I just, I couldn't be thrilled or it couldn't be more thrilled that we got him on |
| 1:42.2 | the Wine at Podcast. So without further ado, Ian Morgan-Kron, author of the best-selling book, |
| 1:46.8 | The Road Back to You. Okay, let's dive and have you introduce yourself and then |
| 1:55.9 | explain to everyone first how you say anyogram and then what it all means. |
| 2:02.0 | So my name is Ian Morgan-Kron. I am a psychotherapist, a speaker, best-selling author |
| 2:10.5 | of a book titled The Road Back to You and Anyogram Journey to Self Discovery in which I explore |
