About our guest:
Hal Elrod has lived a life that would break most people, yet he’s found a way to turn all of his adversities into perspectives and practices that have helped millions of people transform their lives. At 8 years old, his baby sister died in front of him.
At age 20, a drunk driver hit his car head-on at 70 miles per hour, and he was found dead at the scene. At 37, as the father of two young children, he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer and given a 30% chance of surviving.
Now, he is an international keynote speaker and bestselling author of 12 books, including The Miracle Morning (Expanded Edition)—which has been translated into 42 languages and sold over 3 million copies—and his follow up, The Miracle Equation.
The Miracle Morning was also made into a feature-length movie that shows how millions of people are changing their lives simply by changing the way they start their day. It also captured Hal’s unbelievable and inspiring journey to beat cancer by combining Western medicine with the best holistic protocols, and his Miracle Morning practices.
Most importantly, Hal is a family man, first. He is a loyal husband to his wife of 16 years and a dedicated father to their two children.
