In this episode of Do It for The Gram, Milton speaks with B. Chris Simpson about being his countertype of Social 7. B. Chris shares how being this type is wild and full of adventure and why interactions with others can bring him deep levels of joy and purpose. One of his biggest challenges is to separate from consistent service to the group though, which makes him question who he is without the social setting. Does he have worth outside of this? He also compares the differences to Milton’s countertype of Self-Preservation 7 and shares what he learned from fellow self-preservation types to slow down.
