Over the past 13 years, Adam Hergenrother has bootstrapped his way to a billion dollar organization. He's had what others call success... but he found himself asking, "Is this all there is?"

The truth is, the material success we experience in our outer worlds is only 100% of the puzzle. We also need to tap into the 100% of life that is our inner world (meditation, the ego, identities and self-concepts, etc.) to truly experience the life of fulfillment, joy, and enthusiasm we all strive for. We call this the 200% life.

This show is for the leaders and high achievers who have reached success on the outside and still feel like something is missing in their life. We dig deep into the tough questions about life and business and leadership. You're going to learn how to get and give anything you want in life by mastering your inner world first.

After all, business is nothing but a conduit for your personal growth.

    Happiness Versus Inner Peace: What’s the Difference?

    Happiness Versus Inner Peace: What’s the Difference?

    I attended a funeral this past weekend and it got me reflecting on death (yes, even more so than usual) and how important it is to make peace with our own mortality. In today’s episode, I share some of the conversation I had with my wife’s grandfather just a few days before he passed and explore the difference between happiness (what we think we’re after) and inner peace (what we’re truly searching for).
    Takeaways
    Contemplating death and making peace with our own mortality can lead to valuable insights and a deeper understanding of life.Love should be put into practice in our daily lives, and it is one of the most important aspects of our existence.Inner peace is a state that can be present regardless of external circumstances, while happiness is a fleeting emotion that is often dependent on external factors.Focusing on inner growth and handling life's challenges with acceptance can lead to a more fulfilling and peaceful existence.

    “Will I make more money if I’m more spiritual?”

    “Will I make more money if I’m more spiritual?”

    Does "manifestation" really work? Will you make more money or be more successful if you're more spiritual? Possibly! But there's more to it...
    While it’s true that getting more in tune with your spiritual self may improve your life from an outward experience, the deeper purpose is to find fulfillment and joy in the present moment. The peace, joy, and happiness you think you’ll experience from making a certain amount of money or accomplishing a certain goal is actually possible without achieving those things! Here’s how…

    Takeaways:
    Spirituality can potentially lead to financial improvement, but the deeper purpose is to find fulfillment and joy in the present moment.Shifting focus from external achievements to inner experiences can bring a sense of lightness and enjoyment in life.Money and external accomplishments may provide temporary satisfaction, but they do not lead to lasting fulfillment.By releasing past experiences and letting go of attachment to outcomes, one can experience more meaning and joy in each moment.The goal is to enjoy life and extract value from every experience, rather than constantly striving for external validation.

Love the blend of business and spirituality

This is a great podcast for anyone in business and especially those in leadership. Being able to think through and talk about large concepts beyond business prepares listeners to be able to adapt to the complexities of modern life, including business, without ignoring arguably the most important part of themselves. 10/10 recommend!
