from Typology · host Ian Cron

How do you cultivate open-heartedness? Tune in as the insightful Jeff Chu, author of the new memoir, Good Soil: The Education of an Accidental Farmhand and a self-identified Enneagram Six, shares what he learned on his journey from a successful career in journalism to the unexpected life of a farmhand at Princeton's Farminary. We explore the fascinating intersection of farming and personal growth, discussing how engaging with the land has taught Jeff invaluable lessons about trust, fear, and the beauty of second chances. As he reflects on his experiences, he reveals how farming has helped him embrace uncertainty and cultivate an open heart, even amidst anxiety. Here are a few highlights you won't want to miss: The surprising connection between farming and spiritual growth. How Jeff's experiences as an Enneagram Six have shaped his understanding of trust and community. The importance of letting go and recognizing the safety nets that support us in life. A candid discussion about the fears we all face and how to transform them into something fruitful. Whether you're a fellow Six or simply curious about the Enneagram, this episode is packed with wisdom and humor that will resonate with you. Join us as we uncover the beauty of open-heartedness and the lessons that come from tending to both soil and spirit.
