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)

Spirituality 101: Business Life vs. Spiritual Life Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

I talk a lot about the intersection of business and spirituality and how the two can complement each other, but is there ever actually a dividing line? Are there areas where it’s harder to bridge the gap than others?

Caitlin and I delve into the crucial difference between worldly and spiritual life and shed light on the often-misunderstood relationship between wealth and inner peace, using Elon Musk as an example. By understanding the human tendency to resort to drama and crisis as escape mechanisms from internal struggles, we learn how life’s challenges, both in and out of business, can be stepping stones for personal and spiritual growth.

Spirituality 101: Surrender vs. Saying "Yes" Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

This week, we welcome a familiar voice back to Adam Hergenrother Companies: Caitlin Frauton. Caitlin helps me dig into the often misunderstood concept of surrender, which, contrary to popular belief, means freeing oneself from the constant mind chatter and attachments that control your life, not forfeiting your participation in life. We draw on Michael Singer's example, illustrating how surrendering to life's flow simplifies decision-making so that we don’t feel the pressure to say “yes” to everything. We emphasize the need for patience in spiritual growth, the risks of rushing the process, and the importance of addressing internal conflicts before attempting to alter external situations.

The Seventh Principle Truth of Life: We’re All Going to Die Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we dive deep into the one guarantee we have in life - death. We ponder aspects of the physical act of dying, as well as the symbolic death of the ego. Inevitably, we find ourselves asking: What happens to our consciousness as we move between life's stages? Is death truly the end, or is it a transformation into another form of existence? As we navigate these questions, we stress the significance of cherishing the present moment and seeking out the joys of life. We hope to inspire you to see death not as a fearful unknown but as a natural part of our journey.

The Sixth Principle Truth of Life: Everything is Energy Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

Gaining a deeper understanding of energy and how it relates to your emotions can lead to transformative personal growth. In this episode, we shed light on complex emotions like anxiety and regret, explaining how these feelings often stem from “samskaras”, or stored energy. We also touch on the role of the ego in amplifying feelings of regret and how by understanding our emotions and energy, we can reconcile with our past.

The Fifth Principle Truth of Life: First Be, Then Do Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

If your new car got stolen, would you laugh about it? I did. My truck was stolen a few weeks back and, this week, I’m sharing how I found humor and lessons in the incident, and how you can utilize the same level of acceptance to better navigate life's unpredictable turns. Hallie and I then delve into the concept of 'being' versus 'doing’ and discuss how these two states influence your personal growth, authenticity, and intentionality.

The Fourth Principle Truth of Life: Need Nothing, Enjoy Everything Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

This week, we continue our exploration of the Seven Principle Truths of Life with number four: need nothing, enjoy everything. We often go through life feeling the need for something to go one way or another, but there is a transformative power in allowing life to unfold without preconceived expectations. We reflect on our inner dialogues, mental rehearsals, and how they shape our desires, decisions, and ultimately, our ability to enjoy life for what it is.

The Second & Third Principle Truth of Life: Know Thyself & You Are the Watcher Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Do you know who you truly are? This week, we explore the ancient principle of 'knowing thyself', and explain how understanding that you are the experiencer of life helps you create clarity in navigating life’s challenges. We retrace the footprints of self-knowledge across different cultures and historical periods, highlighting how modern Western culture seems to have lost sight of this essential quest. By becoming observers of our experiences, we learn not to identify with any particular object or experience, allowing us to truly live in the moment.

The First Principle Truth of Life: Embrace the Middle Way Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

Hallie and I dive into the first of the Seven Principle Truths of Life: Embrace the Middle Way. The 'middle way' is a path between extremes, the balance between attachment and aversion, being and non-being, form and emptiness. It’s the way of true peace and detachment from our preferences. But how do we break free from repetitive thought patterns and achieve this perfect balance? We explore practical techniques to help you remain grounded, understand yourself better, and keep a clear perspective.

How to Listen to Your Nature: My Experience After 42 Years of Life Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

This week, I celebrated another trip around the sun. I’ve changed and grown a lot in my 42 years of life, and Hallie asked me to share some of the lessons I’ve learned over the years. From maintaining composure when dealing with my kid getting bullied at Lacrosse camp to debunking the societal narrative around external success, we discuss the intricacies of aging, the wisdom I’ve gained by learning how to listen to my nature, and how you can learn to listen to yours.
