This is an uncommon interview with Hal Elrod that digs into The Miracle Morning Business Model and how it’s been several times more lucrative than a traditional book.

Hal Elrod is an entrepreneur, coach, speaker, podcaster, and international bestselling author of The Miracle Morning book—which has been translated into 37 languages and has sold over 2.5 million copies.
