The Good Leadership Podcast

Today, we are joined by Hal Elrod.Hal Elrod is on a mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one person at a time. As an international keynote speaker, host of the popular Achieve Your Goals podcast, and author of one of the highest rated books in the world, The Miracle Morning, (which has over 6,000 five-star Amazon reviews and has sold over 2 million copies) he is doing exactly that. Hal actually died at age 20. His car was hit head on by a drunk driver at over 70 miles per hour, he died for 6 minutes, broke 11 bones, suffered permanent brain damage and was told by doctors that he would never walk again. Then, at age 37, he nearly died again when his heart, lungs, and kidneys were on the verge of failing, and he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer. After being given a 30% chance of surviving, Hal once again defied seemingly insurmountable odds to beat cancer. He is grateful to be sharing his life with his wife and their two children, in Austin, Texas. Hal’s miraculous journey is featured in his most recent project—The Miracle Morning movie—a documentary that shows you how to live to your full potential and highlights stories of ordinary people who are doing the extraordinary. In this episode, we discuss Hal’s journey from financial despair during the 2008 economic crisis to life transformation through the Miracle Morning routine. Hal highlights his six powerful SAVERS practices—Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing—that have empowered millions to achieve their potential. He also emphasizes personal development and intentional morning and evening routines as keys to success.
