Justin Whitmel Earley
Justin Whitmel Earley is a father of four, writer, speaker, and lawyer. He is the author of The Body Teaches the Soul, The Common Rule, Habits of the Household, Made for People, and The Big Mess, though he spends most days running Earley Business Legal, his business law practice. Through his writing and speaking, Justin helps people see how ordinary habits can create extraordinary lives. He continually explores both how physical habits are more spiritual than we think and how spiritual habits are more physical than we think. He lives in his own messy house with his wife and four boys in Richmond, Virginia, and spends a lot of time around fires and porches with friends. He is also a part-owner of a local gym.
