Today we’re revisiting a deep-dive conversation from our Enneagram U days, all about the Harmony Triads.
Damon and Kelly unpack this advanced Enneagram teaching, showing how each triad (3-6-9, 2-5-8, and 1-4-7) holds a unique way of experiencing the world through head, heart, and gut. You’ll hear the humor, real-life tangents, and even Damon’s skepticism as Kelly explains why the triads matter, what each number has “lost,” and how these insights can become transformative rather than just prescriptive.
If you’ve ever wondered how to move beyond surface-level Enneagram knowledge into richer growth and connection, this episode is for you.
You’ll learn:
- What the three Harmony Triads are (3-6-9, 2-5-8, and 1-4-7).
- Why each number in the triads has “lost” something important and how that shapes their struggles.
- How Threes, Sixes, and Nines help us thrive in everyday life.
- Why Twos, Fives, and Eights wrestle with rejection and how they seek power in relationships.
- How Ones, Fours, and Sevens long for the ideal world, and how frustration shapes their journey.
- The difference between prescriptive Enneagram teachings and the more transformative work of the triads.
- Why embracing frustration and noticing what’s lost is part of real growth.
Whether this is your first exposure to Harmony Triads or you’re an Enneagram 401 student, you’ll walk away with practical insights, a few laughs, and plenty to process.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
