Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore return from their holiday break to give an overview of what to expect in the next season of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast. With last season providing the groundwork on the ATA theory, these next episodes will transition into the practical applications, which is fundamental to understand why they choose the applications and theories that they do. Through more case studies and typing interviews, the three hosts will draw the connection between good theory and good practice, because to understand the practice, you have to understand the theory as well.“Good solid theories set the foundation for good solid practice.” -Mario [06:54]“In so many words, it feels like this is about how to ask better questions and to get to more accurate results.” -Creek [13:11]“Those explanations make a lot of sense. We have tested them, and they’re really, really useful. It explains so much more, and–I don’t know–they’re more accurate. And they’re more actionable. It’s easier to do something with them than with the other explanations.” -María José [24:09]TIMESTAMPS[00:02] Intro[01:36] Holiday treats[05:37] A summary of what to expect[10:15] The nature of knowledge[14:50 ] Where knowledge stops[19:45] Anomaly hunting[24:34] The world is not static[28:11] Enneagram as a science[34:46] Why does this matter[39:34] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism
