414: Balancing Success & Fatherhood, Origins of The Miracle Morning; Turning Adversity into Triumph with Hal Elrod

I'm thrilled to have my dear friend Hal Elrod with me. Hal's global influence is legendary. His groundbreaking book, The Miracle Morning, has sold over 2 million copies, has been translated into 37 languages, and has transformed the lives of millions worldwide, including mine. In today’s conversation, Hal shares what initially inspired him to create The Miracle Morning and why he decided to publish an updated and expanded edition of his masterpiece.  He also opens up about how escaping certain death, not once but twice, has inspired him to become an even more remarkable dad and husband.

Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.   Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.   Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you? In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values) If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.   One more thing…  Has this podcast helped you?
