Ian Morgan Cron

That's it from Anthony Skinner.

And now, without any further ado, here's the man of the hour, Ian Cron.

Hey, Typology friends, welcome back.

Today's a big one.

And, uh, today we're gonna talk about something probably important for all of us to know a little bit about, and that's intimacy and relationships.

Suzanne, welcome to the show.

Oh, thank you so much, Ian.

It's an honor to be here.

Anthony.

Ian Cron.

Well, we've got a great guest today.

We have a great guest today.

... it's so bad.

Do you know Ian Cron-

So do hear me? So many would listen

... wouldn't have me on his podcast because he was like-

Great to be with you.

We were saying this, uh, before we hit record, but we got to meet face to face finally at the Apprentice Gathering in Wichita last, uh, October, when you and I and Kurt Thompson and Andy Kolber and Ian Cron, um, got to look at spiritual formation and mental health.

So-

Yeah

So anyway, happy that Dr. Derwin Gray is with us.

And without any further ado, here is the man of the hour, Ian Cronk.

Hey, Typology family, welcome back.

We are so excited today to have the right reverend, Dr. Derwin L.

I'm looking forward to it.

The right reverend.

I'm down with that, Ian.

I dig it, man.

Is there like a book or like if someone wanted to do some of their own exploration on their own, do they just go to the websites or if they didn't want to hire a coach quite yet or they just wanted to learn more? I

love the websites and a book that I've been recommending lately is called The Road Back to You and it's by Ian Cron.

There's so many books, but that's a really digestible one.

We like that.

You're probably familiar with the Enneagram or, you know, all these kind of DISC and Myers-Briggs, all these assessments you can take that are used in leadership development.

Well, The Road Back to You is by Ian Cron and Susan Stabile, and it's about the Enneagram assessment tool.

And if you're unfamiliar with it, let me give you the short version.

It's a framework.

So I think about the first, you know, all olympic american olympic pro when the nba stars jordan and johnson and ewing and etc bird were all a part of the dream team they were all different they didn't have five michael jordan's playing you needed skills at every position and you need a team that's made up of people of different personalities and different skill sets but that means that they are going to need different ways to be communicated to if you only use the communication tools that of how you want to be communicated to or how you default to communication, that is not going to get things across to all of your team, especially if they are made up of different people, different styles.

That's what this book is going to help you with.

Ian Crong came out of his own kind of burnout, which kind of I connect to.

He had spent 10 years as a founding pastor of a church.
