Hal Elrod is an internationally acclaimed
keynote speaker, thought leader, and author of The Miracle Morning, a best-seller which has been translated into
27 languages and is one of the world’s most highly rated books. He has written
ten books comprising The Miracle Morning series, and also serves as host of the
Achieve Your Goals podcast, creator of the Best Year Ever Blueprint Live
Experience and Executive Producer of The Miracle Morning Movie. Additionally,
Hal leads a community of people in over 70 countries who practice The Miracle
Morning and is on a mission to elevate human consciousness through a new approach
to mornings.

Hal joins me today to discuss the power of The
Miracle Morning and how it has up-leveled the lives of people around the world
by laying the groundwork for more intentional, purpose-driven days. He shares
the importance of choosing a mindset of gratitude, even when facing adversity,
and what it takes to truly enact change in our lives. Hal also highlights how
our alarm clocks can represent either the day’s first gift or the day’s first
challenge and how small actions can be catalysts for large-scale change.

“If you win the morning, you put yourself in a peak position to win the rest of the day.” – Hal Elrod
