Hal Elrod is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and podcaster. He's best known for his 2012 best-selling book, The Miracle Morning, which has grown into a personal development phenomenon, selling over 1 million copies and translated into 27 languages. The Miracle Morning online community boasts nearly 300,000 members on Facebook and is regarded as one of the fastest growing and most engaged online communities in existence.

Hal actually died at age 20. Hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 miles per hour, his heart stopped for 6 minutes, he broke 11 bones, and eventually woke from a coma to be told by doctors that he would never walk again. Not only did Hal walk, he went on to run a (52 mile) ultra-marathon and become a hall of fame business achiever—before the age of 30.

Then, in November of 2016, Hal nearly died again—his kidneys, lungs, and heart on the verge of failing, which led to his being diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive form of cancer. As you could imagine, with kids and family, he had to tap into the depths of his mindset practices to get through that experience.
