As the survivor of a nearly fatal head on collision with a drunk driver, Hall of Fame business achiever, nationally acclaimed Author, Sales Trainer, Life Empowerment Coach and Keynote Speaker, Hal Elrod is considered by many to have accomplished more at age 26 than most people do in a lifetime.

He began his entrepreneurial journey when he started his first business at age 15 as a Mobile Disc Jockey. By age 16 he was hosting his own radio show each week as Yo Pal Hal. And by age 19 he was a record-breaking sales rep. His real triumph came at age 20 when he was struck head on by a drunk driver and found dead at the scene.

After being revived and air lifted to a hospital, Hal spent a week in a coma and underwent eight surgeries to repair his 13 broken bones. He awoke to the devastating news that he would not be able to walk for one year. Never one to accept limitations set by others, Hal astounded the medical community when he took his first step within two weeks and returned home one month later. It wasn't long before Hal was back to work and on stage again as the top seller.
