The Stewardship Podcast

Fives are private individuals with an active mental life, observing and exploring how the world works. They struggle to share thoughts and feelings and may seem socially awkward or disinterested. At lower integration, Fives may be withdrawn, antagonistic and aggressively defend their isolation. At higher integration, they are intellectual pioneers, bringing their perceptive wisdom unselfconsciously.

Today Grant and Jeremy discuss financial strengths and possible blind spots in this week's discussion about the Enneagram and your finances. Stay through to the end when Jeremy interviews our friend and sometimes co-host Jake Norton to talk about how relating with type 5 affects his life.

In today's episode of our Enneagram and Finances series, Jeremy and Grant discuss the Enneagram Type 4 known as "The Intense Creative." Fours search for meaning, depth and authenticity. They are emotionally sensitive and attuned to their environment, creative and expressive as individuals. They may seem emotionally moody, dramatic, focusing on what is lacking in their lives.

So how does that impact the finances of someone who identifies with type 4? what ways can this individuality be a great strength? This podcast has some practical tips for all of us. And at the end, Jeremy interviews Ben Bost who identifies with Type 4 to learn how he navigates personal finance.

This week, Jeremy and Grant continue our series on the Enneagram and your finances with the third Enneagram type. They talk about "The Competitive Achiever." Threes are "doers" and tend to be practical, task-oriented and project a polished persona or image. They are competitive and will make sacrifices to achieve their goals and appear successful. They risk becoming overstretched or workaholic and may resort to deception or expediency to win. At higher integration, they work towards self-acceptance and authentic influence, connecting heart and hands. Together they dive into the strengths and challenges that people who identify with Type 3 may face when it comes to their financial behaviors and tendencies. At the end, we hear an interview with a three on practical ways his personality affects his finances and his relationship with his wife.
