The Upbuild Enneagram Library
Welcome to the Upbuild Enneagram Library. We’re glad to be on this journey with you.
We’re two former monks, a former startup founder and CEO, and a former investment bank executive…who met in a NYC monastery.
Over the past two decades, we’ve used the Enneagram to help countless individuals and organizations see themselves more clearly and start to break free from the shackles of the ego.
Drawing on years of teaching, coaching, and lived experience, we’ve created this podcast as a deep library of Enneagram knowledge to support you in the most meaningful journey there is: the journey from the ego to the true self.

Type 7 The Enthusiast
Enneagram Type 7s, nicknamed The Enthusiast, are care-free and fun-loving with a moment-to-moment appetite for adventure and zero tolerance for boredom. They often run from their problems in life which pursue them relentlessly in spite of their intelligence and joyfulness. Famous examples include Robin Williams, the Dalai Lama, Amy Winehouse, and Russell Brand.
In this episode, we explore the essence of the Type 7 and the insecurities and motivations that drive their every action and relationship. We walk you through the story of the Type 7’s life by looking at their journey through the Levels of Consciousness from their healthiest to their average to their most destructive ways of operating. We close the episode by offering a critical type-tailored practice to help 7s rise up in consciousness and be the best version of themselves.
This episode is designed to help Type 7s thrive in their personal and professional lives by fostering a deeper understanding of their insecurities and motivations. It’s also an invaluable resource for friends, partners, and colleagues of Type 7s who wish to better support and relate to them.
