HAL ELROD is on a mission to Elevate the Consciousness of Humanity, One Morning at a Time. He is a grateful husband, father, survivor of a near-fatal car accident and recent conqueror of near-fatal cancer. 

Best known as the author of the international bestselling book, The Miracle Morning, and creator of The Miracle Morning Community.

In the summer of 2014, after one of his keynote presentations, a question was posed to Hal that inspired an exciting new possibility, “Have you ever thought about putting on your own live event so that you could work with people for longer than 90 minutes?” 

Six months later the 1st annual Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE Experience took place in San Diego! And to take it to ensure that every person who attended would maximize the impact of the event, long after the event, Hal invited world-renowned experiential trainer (who happens to be one of his closest friends), Jon Berghoff to help facilitate the first event. 

Nearly five years later, Hal and Jon agree that BYEB truly feels like a family, as returning BYEB attendees come back to San Diego for the 5th annual Best Year Ever Blueprint.

JON BERGHOFF is a world renown experiential trainer and co-founder of Flourishing Leadership Institute (FLI). Some of his clients include Facebook, NASA, and BMW – just to name a few.

Only two things intrigue Jon Berghoff more than the art of asking a beautiful question. The first: possibilities. Possibilities for how questions might cause our human system to come alive, be at our best, play to our strengths, deepen our sense of purpose or even — dare we say — save the world. The second: science. The data-driven, scientifically informed craft of designing questions in a way that makes what is possible become probable.

Early entrepreneurial ventures served as a “way out” for Jon, diagnosed with ADHD and rejected from every college he applied to. Eventually, his insatiable curiosity propelled him to lead the meteoric sale growth for Vitamix Corporation, from $40 million to $175 million in just four years.

Today, Jon and his team at Flourishing Leadership Institute are guided by one question: What causes the human system to come alive faster, more effectively, and more naturally than ever before? The answers might surprise you.

DR. SEAN STEPHENSON was predicted not to survive at birth because of a rare bone disorder that stunted his growth and caused his bones to be extremely fragile (fracturing over 200 times by the age of 18). Despite his challenges, he took a stand for a quality of life that has inspired millions of people around the world.

Over the past 24 years, his powerful message has been heard at live events in nearly all 50 states and in 16 countries. Sean has presented at hospitals, universities, prisons, and to companies such as Nike, Whole Foods, Zappos, Walmart, and Sharp Healthcare. He’s shared the stage with U.S. Presidents, billionaire business moguls, celebrities, and his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Sean has appeared on everything from The Oprah Show to Jimmy Kimmel, in addition to online videos with tens of millions of views. The Biography Channel produced an hour-long feature on his life called, Three Foot Giant.

His international best-selling book, Get Off Your “But”  has been translated into over a dozen different languages.

As a board-certified therapist, and doctor of Clinical Hypnosis, Dr. Stephenson sees clients in a unique 12-hour session that gets to the root of their fears, excuses, and insecurities.

Each year Sean hosts live events and group coaching programs to mentor individuals in the art and business of public speaking.

When Sean isn’t working he can be found in the gym, watching basketball, or reading side-by-side with his wife, Mindie Kniss. Sean and Mindie reside in Scottsdale, Arizona.

PRESTON SMILES could list a bunch of things that would make him look “important” and “successful”, but what he wants you to know about him is that he truly cares about people, our planet, and about maximizing his potential. He’s committed to knowing that when he leaves this world, his tank was empty, because he gave ALL that he had and then some in the name of LOVE. So whether he’s speaking, leading workshops, writing books, or making conscious content through social media, it’s all in SERVICE of the same thing….LOVE. It’s the answer to everything and it’s so obvious that some of us miss it. So, Preston is here as a messenger to remind us all that when we AMPLIFY our LOVE we automatically amplify our LIVES.

JON VROMAN is an award-winning motivational speaker, author, philanthropist, personal coach, ultra-marathon runner, and founder of Front Row Foundation. He is a husband and father of two amazing boys first, and when he is not doing that, he is a social entrepreneur who helps people live life in the front row. His passion is speaking, coaching and running live events, like the Speaker Trainer Experience & Dads Retreat.  He interviews AMAZING people on the Front Row Factor podcast. Jon is the #1 bestselling author of The Front Row Factor:  Transform Your Life With The Art of Moment Making.

In fact, in a study at UCLA comparing long-term meditators’ brains with non-meditators, the results of Julianna’s MRI led to interviews on ABC, GLOBO news and other outlets, about the benefits of practice.

Have you ever attended a personal development event and left with “information overload” feeling more overwhelmed than when you arrived? Then, you go home with pages and pages of notes, and you’re left to figure out how and when to implement everything you’ve learned.

The Best Year Ever [Blueprint] is very different. Co-hosted by Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning, and experiential trainer, Jon Berghoff, the main focus of BYEB isn’t so much on “learning” tons of new information as it is on what you “experiencing” a better version of yourself, real-time, while taking action and immediately implementing what you learn.

In other words, the BYEB won’t just teach you how to change your life, you’ll actually starting taking steps to change your life while you’re at the event and have the support and guidance of Hal, Jon, and 300+ like-minded high achievers.

Hal Elrod and Jon Berghoff will guide you through a revolutionary process (based on the latest cutting edge ‘experiential learning science’) that will enable you to immediately:

• Gain extraordinary levels of clarity as to what’s actually possible for you THIS YEAR (based on your potential, NOT your past). 
• Then, we’ll help you to identify and overcome the self-imposed limitations that are holding you back from achieving your full potential.
• Discover the power of your life’s purpose to enhance your levels of success and fulfillment, and hot to integrate your purpose into every aspect of your life and work. 
• You will experience “real-time” transformation immediately, while we’re together in San Diego.
• Finally (and most importantly), you’ll be a member of the BYEB family and have hundreds of people who you can count on to give you ongoing support to follow through with implementing your blueprint.

In other words, you will leave BYEB as a better version of yourself, equipped with the mindset, step-by-step plan, and the continued support from your new BYEB Family to ensure that the next 12 months of your life are (by far) your best 12 months… ever.

AND… you’ll be upgrading your circle of influence alongside hundreds of like-minded people, to not only become a better version of yourself and create your best year ever, but to co-create this truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, TOGETHER.

If you would like to join us for the Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE Experience, choose your package at BestYearEverLive.com/Packages to secure your spot, and we look forward to sharing this life-changing weekend with YOU, in San Diego!
