I\u2019m not kidding when I say Enneagram Nines (The Peacemakers) are well represented in my universe of relationships. My wife Anne is a Nine. My daughter Maddie is a Nine, and as you\u2019ll soon learn, a disproportionate number of my friends\xa0are Nines\xa0as well.

On this week\u2019s show we decided to try something new. We invited not one but a panel of FOUR Enneagram Nines\xa0into the studio to\xa0describe what it\u2019s like to be members of the Peacemaker tribe. Why host a panel?

In my experience, people learn more about different Enneagram types when they hear people who self-identify as that type talk about their lives.\xa0Why\xa0listen to me talk about a type when you can hear from folks who live it everyday?

This week you\u2019ll meet four of my closest friends\u2014Singer-songwriter Andy Gullahorn, guitarist, businessman, (and five time Grammy nominee) Randy Williams, Sobriety Coach and counselor David Hampton, and Chris Gonzalez, PhD, a Marriage and Family Therapist, and Director of the MFT program at Lipscomb University.

We\xa0honestly didn\u2019t know what would happen when we stuffed me, my guest co-host Rabbi Evan Moffic, my producer Chad Michael Snavely, and four others guys into our tiny recording studio with a six pack of beer but as you\u2019ll soon hear -- it was magic.\xa0This is one of the most entertaining and enlightening shows I\u2019ve ever been a part of.

My panel today happens to be all men, but we\u2019ve already scheduled a panel of four women to be on the show in the next few weeks and a mixed gender panel as well, so keep your eyes and ears open for those shows!
