About Paul Lloyd Hemphill

As a popular TV guest, author, speaker, and videographer, Paul Lloyd Hemphill was born in Houlton, Maine in 1946. After receiving his college degree with honors in philosophy, he was drafted into the US Army and served in Viet Nam, where he was awarded the coveted Bronze Star Medal and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.

He returned home to a life-long career in marketing and advertising, and used his philosophical training in critical thinking to inspire his ability to write thousands of short and information-packed radio ads; he brings that same get-to-the-point style to his writing.

He converted one of his books to video and audio, INSPIRATION FOR TEENS, as a character development and leadership program for middle and high school students.

All based on the most famous Civil War battle, the Battle of Gettysburg.

He has written 5 other books, is an accomplished videographer, and has produced and narrated his 4 audiobooks.

His first book, Why You're Already A Leader, uses known and unknown leaders at Gettysburg to prove, with 88 short stories, that leadership is in your DNA. This is the book that inspired its adaptation for the teen audience, with the author's latest book, INSPIRATION FOR TEENS. which the author has converted to video and audio as a leadership and character development program.

His second book, How To Win The College Game, reveals his many secrets to get into and to afford college.

His third book, Gettysburg Lessons in the Digital Age, answers one question: "How can I benefit from what this person did at Gettysburg?" Gettysburg leadership is a metaphor for who and what we are.

Hemphill's fourth book, Planning For College, says one reviewer, is "endearing and hilarious."

Praise for Paul Lloyd Hemphill's book:

“Hemphill's writing style is lucid and succinct, and the rapid fire, short-bursts of information, examples, and applications can be read in small doses to allow the reader to dwell on each story and find practical self-applications. The book can be read in daily journal format, with one or two stories at a time to challenge the reader to excel and emulate the example.”
Scott Mingus, Sr., Scientist and Civil War Author

“A refreshingly positive human approach to a topic often inundated with scientific inquiry. Thanks for putting ‘people’ back into Leadership!”
Capt Edward J. Rogers, Command Leadership School, Naval War College, Newport, RI

“I find the style very simple, easy to read and enjoyable. I find the ‘lessons’ to be right on target.”
Richard White, Exec VP, Bayer Corporation

“This is a really interesting and useful book. The author takes one of the most fascinating chapters in U.S. history, the battle of Gettysburg, and draws important insights for today’s business managers and employees. While military and civilian technologies have changed dramatically, human nature hasn’t."
Nick Perna, Economist & frequent guest on PBS’s The News Hour

“...useful lessons about addressing a variety of problems and challenges in life...excellent examples and explained well...will assist the general layperson’s appreciation of the battle.”
Gary Gallagher, Civil War historian, University of Virginia

“Paul Lloyd Hemphill has done a great job in showing that there is a spark of greatness in each of us. Why You’re Already A Leader shows a lot of sparks and the enormous influence that each of those sparks, in action, can have.”
Brace E. Barber, Author of No Excuse Leadership

“...the reader gets a fabulous history lesson while being inspired. In addition to the mainstream appeal of this book, I think every history class should use this book as a tool to teach about this important battle.”
Cynthia Kersey, Author of “Unstoppable” and motivational speaker

“Overall I found it interesting and very readable. I liked the use of short vignettes that could easily be read by a busy manager as part of a continuing professional/personal development program.”
Major Benjamin Webb, Instructor at West Point

“...extremely interesting... Putting information into such a concise form is really an art form. I can write anything in 4,000 words. Doing it in 400 takes incredible skill.”

by Paul Lloyd Hemphill

( 2 )

$0.99

For college admissions help, give your child that "unfair" advantage in applying to college, without cheating, offering bribes, using legacy, or giving donations. Here's the kind of insider information that’s made the author's own clients refer him to their friends for the past 17 years.

It's a free, fast and entertaining read that's designed for the hard-bitten realist who takes nothing at face value, especially in light of the college admissions scandal of 2019. This ebook comes with an option to take advantage of the author's free videos that are designed to expand and update the book's content when necessary.

Based on the famous and dependable 80/20 Rule, you will place 80% of the value of this book in 20% of what you read. Put another way, you will fully gain from at least 5 of the secrets I like to list as “Tips.” You will be able to identify those 5 tips that really work for you.

I will unload a few of my rough opinions because the business of college is one I have come to distrust greatly over the years. Some of this information is just ugly.

In this era of victimology, you can say I was a victim of what colleges do to families, and this ebook is sounding a warning of what is ahead for you and how you can work around or manipulate certain issues to your advantage.

I continue to add to this information with my on-going free video series, the links to which are included.
