This episode explores fatherhood and leadership through the powerful lens of the Enneagram Type 8—often seen as “The Challenger.” Known for strength, assertiveness, and protectiveness, Type 8s are natural leaders. But how does this personality navigate the emotional landscape of parenting, especially when trying to lead with empathy, grace, and growth?

We’ll unpack how self-leadership and inner work allow Type 8 fathers to transform their strength into a grounded, empathetic presence—and how embracing the perspectives of other Enneagram types enriches both leadership and parenting.
