About Bill Murphy
Captivating Keynote Speaker | Impact Driven Corporate Trainer | WSJ Best-Selling Author
A story like Bill’s would inspire most people to rethink what’s possible, rather than give up. But, from an early age, he decided to not just fight for survival, but to choose THRIVING despite living in a toxic, abusive home.
BUSINESS
He’s since created massive amounts of success personally and professionally. As a nationally known mortgage originator, Bill has dominated his industry as a top producer for over 28 years, closing over $1.5 billion in loans while leading others to perform at their highest levels.
FITNESS AND WELLNESS
He’s completed 25 marathons, 5 of which were the Boston Marathon (including one on crutches). He’s run multiple ultramarathons plus a 100-miler, is a 7x Ironman finisher, a Krav Maga 2nd degree black belt, a finisher of The Great World Race, 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days, and has completed the Kokoro 65 challenge, a 50-hour crucible model after U.S. Navy SEAL Hell week designed for civilians. He’s also climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with his son and daughter. Bill has turned his early storms into an ultra-high performing lifestyle and believes that we can all do the same.
As a best-selling author and keynote speaker, Bill is committed to helping everyone create soul-driven change by choosing to thrive vs. settling for survival. It’s his deep belief that you don’t need special skills, perfect circumstances, or ideal foundations to build a life that truly defies all odds.
With a blend of high-performance principles and a bent towards uncovering emotionally bound childhood experiences…Bill helps regular people uncover their greatness by tapping into cognitive programming, biohacking, and the power of everyday decisions.
PHILANTHROPIC
In addition to all his many accomplishments, Bill has raised over $1 million in funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of MA/RI, granting 112 wishes, and because of Bill’s donations, he was also the recipient of the Wish Champion Award.
Bill has also raised funds for various other charities.
His book “Thriving Through The Storm” earned a spot on the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble bestseller lists and continues to help readers pivot from paralysis, hopelessness, and settling to decisive thriving through all of life’s adversities.
Bill has an undergraduate degree and a master’s in psychology and is the Founder of the nonprofit: The Thrive Foundation.
In his spare time, you’ll find Bill training for his next race, cold plunging, making his kids train alongside him, or enjoying some red-light therapy!
