Mark Dykema is passionate about and succeeds at many things. From playing Dave Matthews instrumentals in my wedding ceremony to quoting any episode of The Office, to managing 60 employees, to bee keeping, to being a good father ... I mistook him for an Achiever :). We talk Enneagram 101 and why Mark is a #7 Enthusiast. To be clear, we are not the foremost experts on the topic, but boy do we have fun pretending to be. The other thing I got wrong is that in the British version of The Office, Jim and Pam are not Jim and Pam ... they're Dawn and Tim! Yeah Tim is played by the brilliant Martin Freeman and Ricky Gervias is off the charts funny, but Tim and Dawn? Just doesn't have that ring ... Either way - FAIL by me. The following are a few notes to guide you along through the conversation: 4:19 - The Office - British and American humor 10:33 - Armchair Enneagram Experts 15:16 - #7 - The Enthusiast 16:13 - Career story - "Success does not equal calling" 18:36 - Diff. b/w a #7 Enthusiast and a #3 Achiever 20:31 - The drag of a #7 in insurance 21:05 - Bag Boys - the corn hole side hustle 26:13 - Take-aways from working the side hustle 28:26 - "Do not despise small beginnings" 29:19 - BUSINESS OWNERSHIP 32:09 - The Value of the Harlem Shake - employee culture 33:31 - "Every customer must leave in a better mood than when they arrived" 33:35 - "Recognize every customer as an individual" 35:07 - replicating yourself 36:47 - BE REAL 42:01 - Legacy metrics - weddings 44:00 - 3 questions: 44:03 - 1. What's good? 46:46 - 2. What could be better? 52:29 - 3. What's next? 53:19 - A #7 begins a podcast :) 58:19 - Enough to be Dangerous
