Today we wrap up the two-part Mike Tyson documentary that ABC News produced and can now be seen on ABC.com and Hulu. 

This second episode revolves primarily around the rape conviction and the circumstances surrounding that trial. From there it hits his return to the ring, his spiral downwards, the tragic death of his daughter, and the rebirth of a career and life. 

Again, if you haven't seen this doc, take some time to watch it. We felt like there was a lot of new information (to us) that really gave us a deeper understanding of Mike Tyson and his complicated life.

The Enneagram is complicated and nuanced, but human beings are infinitely more complex than the Enneagram. And today’s episode proves just that. Our guest, ABC News correspondent, Paula Faris, exudes a lot of energy from a few different Enneagram types.  Listen as Ian walks Paula through the Typing Interview Process to help her tease out the types she most strongly resonates with, then offers some “homework” for really unearthing her type on her own.

Paula Faris is a senior national correspondent at ABC News and host of the popular podcast Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris, which gives an intimate look at how some of the world’s most influential people lean on faith and spirituality in the best and worst of times. An Emmy Award-winning journalist, Paula previously was co-anchor of the Good Morning America weekend edition, as well as a co-host of The View.
