Welcome to

The Upbuild Enneagram Library

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.

Interested in an Enneagram community to dive deeper into the wisdom of this framework? Check out Upbuild Enneagram Library LIVE. Every other Thursday. 6p Eastern Time.

A note on why we started this podcast: We've found that the most transformative principle in our lives has been what's called sanga in yoga philosophy. That is the company we keep. The quality and content of our connection to people who want the best for us and are working on themselves to become their best. The rising tide floats all boats. This podcast is our sincere attempt to create sanga with like-minded people around the world so that we can all keep working on ourselves and inspire one another as we progress in our lives.

Appreciating our teachers: our tremendous gratitude to Don Riso and Russ Hudson of the Enneagram Institute, whose training underpins all of our Enneagram work and many of the dimensions we share.
