Paul Lloyd Hemphill is an author and speaker who motivates with inspiration from the past. In 2020, he started a non-profit company to help inspire children using a creative and appealing approach to teaching American history.

Effect On Emotions

• I would say it has a lot to do with perspective and goals. In other words, how do you view what you do with your life, and how do you motivate yourself to do what you do?
• I know at this point in my life, I get up virtually every morning and say, man, I got work to do, I've got I've got a country to save. And I'm going to do it my way and in a way that really works. I gain much of my inspiration from the past.

Thoughts On Breathing

• Yeah, I have some thoughts on breathing. In fact, I go to the local YMCA every morning at 5:30 and do my exercises And I walk 4 miles a day.
• But these these particular exercises are so vital. I find myself much more energized when I do that, and so it's just a habit that you need to stay with.

Bullying Story

• There was a guy from Wisconsin. He was a doctor. And during the Battle of Gettysburg he was taking care of the Union wounded. He realized that Confederate snipers were shooting and killing his patients. Well, he got so upset that he ran outside this church building, raised his fist and said, I want you to shoot at the healthy ones.
• And they took him seriously, and not another patient was hit or shot again.
