The 200% Life — Business
The 200% Life

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.

This is The 200% Life, hosted by Adam Hergenrother. (Previously Business Meets Spirituality)

What Is “White Space” Time, And Why Do You Need It? Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

How do the greatest entrepreneurs create a rhythm in their lives that allows for strategic thinking and creative planning? Bill Gates, for example, was known to take extended solo vacations twice a year. No phone, no social events, just time to sit and reflect. This gave him the space to develop a strategy for the next six months of his life and business, and to make big moves instead of just reacting. While it may not be possible for you to take three days to unplug just yet, Hallie and I discuss how you can create some white space in your daily life today. Time to gain clarity, and create a North Star to follow.

First, we break down what we mean by creating white space in our lives, and how we are supposed to make time for it alongside our jobs, taking care of kids, pets, spending time with friends, etc. Then, we share our ways of building white space into our daily schedules to help deal with burnout and become more aligned with ourselves. When you spend a little time just planning out how you spend your day and engage in self-inquiry, you get more life back to give in a way that really matters to you. See full show notes.

Can Money Buy You Happiness? Dec 28, 2021

One-on-one meetings. Some people love them… some people could live without them. But, we have found in our organization that these meetings are key when the right model is followed. There is a right way and a wrong way to hold these regularly-scheduled discussions, so this week, we dive into six ways to hold an effective and productive one-on-one meeting.

We start with the biggest mistakes people make when holding meetings that affect both the employee and the leader. Hallie and I talk about how to prepare for the meeting so it maximizes everyone’s time and energy and what the benefits are for both the employee and leader for having scheduled meeting times. Hallie shares how the weekly meetings have helped her grow in her career, and how meetings may also bring both the employee and leader clarity on time management, personal growth, and future goals.
