Entrepreneur. Inventor. Author. Philanthropist.
Brad Hart is an entrepreneur, inventor, author, and philanthropist based in Phoenix, Arizona.
He's spent 20+ years working with small and medium businesses—coaching, consulting, building systems, and automating operations. His client portfolio spans 500+ businesses and over $100M in generated revenue. He's a bestselling author of The 8-Minute Mastermind and has built or participated in 50+ mastermind groups on five continents.
