Who is Tom Cronin?
 
Tom Cronin is an Australian meditation teacher, transformational leadership coach, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement dedicated to inspiring one billion people to meditate daily. Before finding his purpose in meditation, Tom spent 26 years in financial markets as one of Australia's leading bond and swap brokers. His fast-paced career eventually led to severe stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and burnout. After discovering Vedic meditation, he experienced a profound personal shift that inspired him to leave finance in 2012 and dedicate his life to helping others find inner peace, improve their well-being, and live with greater purpose.
 
Today, Tom works with individuals, business leaders, and major organizations, including Amazon, Coca-Cola, Qantas, and UBS, through meditation training, corporate workshops, coaching, and retreats. He is the author of six books and the producer and co-writer of The Portal, a documentary exploring how meditation can help people overcome personal challenges and create positive change. Through his Zen Academy mentorship program, Tom also supports wellness professionals and conscious entrepreneurs in growing purpose-driven businesses that make a meaningful difference in the world.

Hal Elrod is a bestselling author, international keynote speaker, podcaster, and creator of The Miracle Morning, a personal development method that has reached millions of people worldwide. His books, including The Miracle Morning and The Miracle Equation, have sold millions of copies and been translated into dozens of languages. His work focuses on helping people improve their mindset, habits, health, relationships, and performance through practical daily practices.
 
Hal's message comes from remarkable personal experience. At age 20, he survived a devastating car accident in which his heart stopped for six minutes and doctors initially said he might never walk again. Years later, financial hardship inspired him to develop the morning routine that became The Miracle Morning. At 37, he faced another major challenge when he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer. Today, Hal uses these experiences to teach resilience, gratitude, personal growth, and purposeful action while pursuing his mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one person and one morning at a time.
