I was prepping for a podcast earlier today and they asked me what was the best advice I ever received. The best? Man, that one is tough. Failing forward fast and often is at the top of the list. The only way to really learn is to take risks and move past your mistakes and if you do that quickly …
Over the long holiday weekend, I was heading out for a day on the lake with my family when we came upon a motorcycle accident in the middle of a busy intersection. The accident must have just happened minutes before. There were no lights or sirens yet. No ambulance or cop cars. Just a mangled motorcycle and a man lying …
We’ve finally had some really beautiful days in Vermont (Summer will be here before we know it!). One of my greatest joys is being able to run outside on the dirt roads, sun shining through the trees, a slight breeze on my face. The rolling hills – up and down, up and down, is almost hypnotic. One foot in front …
Over the weekend I competed in the Gulf Coast 70.3, a half Ironman race, in Panama City Beach, Florida. It’s usually a fun race and I enjoy being able to bring my family along with me for a long weekend in the Sunshine State (especially after a Vermont winter that would rival any winter in Westeros!). On Saturday the sun …
Over the past week or so, I’ve been studying content marketing strategies and how to really hone in on what differentiates Adam Hergenrother Companies, Adam Hergenrother Training, and me in general, from other business and leadership training organizations. One word: JOY. Yes, joy. It’s been something I’ve been working on and talking about behind the scenes for the past year …
Remember the days when you’d anxiously wait for a call from that girl you liked, only to find out it was your Uncle calling to chat with your Dad? No? Just me? Okay, how about when you were 5 or 6 and loved every opportunity you got to call your grandparents just to tell them that you lost a tooth …
“I’m so stressed out!” I don’t have the exact data, but this I’m pretty sure this phrase has only been around for the last decade or so. Why has this saying become part of our national lexicon? Because we’re a society that is busy, burned out, over-scheduled, and generally overwhelmed. I don’t think we talk about it enough. Living this …
Last week I had the opportunity to host nine delegates under the auspices of the Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program in partnership with the Vermont Council on World Affairs. The delegates were specifically interested in learning about the economic, political, and social factors that influence development of small businesses, entrepreneurship, and innovation in the United States, as well …
Tomorrow we kick-off a new training program that I am more excited about than any other class or training I’ve done. Project | U is going to be a game changer. Yeah, sure, I think we’ve got great content, awesome guest speakers, and a packed year-long curriculum complete with a monthly book club, a fitness coach, nutrition consults, financial advisers, …
When I was in my early twenties, I had my mind on money and money on my mind. I believed that once I reached a certain amount of annual income, I would feel a certain way. For me, that number was $500,000. $500,000 = happiness. I had tied my future happiness and joy to seeing that number on my tax …
