I saw Alicia Dattner (http://aliciadattner.com/) perform at the Science and Nonduality Conference last fall and she rocked the stage in front of an international audience of over 800 people. Her comedy is deep, psychological, often dark, and ridiculously funny. She has a powerful new voice and it’s always evolving.Alicia did her first standup set at 18 and she graduated from Hampshire College with a degree in standup and filmmaking.She’s been mentored by several talented comedians over the years, including W. Kamau Bell, Eugene Mirman, and Bill Santiago. She’s also been playing clubs like The Improv and Gotham Comedy Club, performing in San Francisco, New York, London, Hollywood, Honolulu, Bali, and Bombay. Alicia was voted Best Comedian in both the SF Weekly and SF Bay Guardian, and she’s won a bunch of other awards. Some of the people with whom she’s performed have included luminaries like Maria Bamford, Ali Wong, Moshe Kasher, Arj Barker, Kate Willett, and many others.She’s about to release her sixth comedy show, entitled “Are You Dressed for the Apocalypse?"

As a psychologist, I have seen many personality typing systems but the one that has impressed me most so far is the Enneagram. A big reason I like it so much is because of its depth and ability to inform people of blind spots in a shockingly efficient manner. I have seen firsthand how the Enneagram can help people improve their careers, their relationships, and even how they relate to themselves. To help us understand the Enneagram better, I called on one of the top experts in the world, Dr. Beatrice Chestnut (https://beatricechestnut.com/). Bea is a psychotherapist, coach, and business consultant based in San Francisco. She holds graduate degrees in communication and clinical psychology and is the author of the books, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge and The 9 Types of Leadership: Mastering the Art of People in the 21st century Workplace. She also served as president of the International Enneagram Association in 2006 and 2007. A dedicated student of the Enneagram for over 30 years, she currently offers Enneagram workshops internationally through Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, the school she co-founded with Uranio Paes. In their work around the world, Bea and Uranio focus on using the Enneagram as a tool for personal and professional transformation. Listen in as Bea and I go deep and one of the fastest tools to self-knowledge: The Enneagram. Book Link: https://amzn.to/43Sw3Gs This is an affiliate link.

Sex.  It’s one of life’s great paradoxes. Few things can bring as much pleasure and connection. And yet, few things can also bring as much pain and vulnerability. There are so many misconceptions about what constitutes good sex as well as who we are as sexual beings. And, even in this day and age, it can be tough for people to talk about sex in a matter-of-fact tone. Today we will be talking about male sexuality in a very matter-of-fact tone with a true expert. Jim Benson (http://www.jimbenson.net/) is a coach who helps men of all ages and backgrounds know themselves more fully as sexual beings. For the past 17 years he has been coaching men to experience what he calls “breakthroughs in the bedroom.” Jim is a certified and experienced Tantra teacher and has worked broadly in the US and Europe.
