Meet The Podcast Hosts
Thayne Martin
Phoenix native and transformational thought leader, Thayne Martin brings decades of leadership experience across real estate, automotive, software, logistics, and sales management into a bold mission: to help individuals and organizations achieve personal and professional transformation through experiential learning and powerful life principles rooted in balance and happiness.
What makes Thayne different isn't just his business expertise; it's his extraordinary personal journey.
From ages 8 to 14, Thayne survived horrific sexual abuse by a pedophile ring that included members of his local neighborhood and church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). That trauma led to complex PTSD, addiction, and multiple suicide attempts. But in 2011, everything changed. With the unwavering love of his wife Joy, his daughters Chanelle, Savana, and Chloe, and his family, Thayne began a journey of deep healing.
Today, he is not a victim…he is a thriver.
Thayne openly shares his story through his musical piece The Life of a Butterfly and in his signature talks and workshops. He has a remarkable gift for making uncomfortable topics safe, helping people identify and overcome trauma triggers and rewrite the self-limiting beliefs that hold them back. His message is one of emotional freedom, mental wellness, modern healing, and unconditional love.
After decades of introspection, research, and real-world leadership, Thayne developed the Equation of Life and Abundant Happiness (ELAH)—a framework that promotes mental clarity, presence, and joyful living across any spiritual or personal belief system.
Thayne also graduated from Choice Center Leadership University (LV163), completing one of the most intense emotional intelligence programs in the country. In the summer of 2023, a near-death experience became the catalyst for ELAH and his groundbreaking transformation programs:
He is also the voice behind the iplGRATITUDE365 podcast, a gratitude-based mental health journey broadcast daily as a living experiment in joy and healing.
Thayne’s mission is simple: Help people find their balance, reclaim their story, and live an abundantly happy life.
With over 35 years in corporate America spanning multiple industries, Thayne Martin has learned one unshakable truth: people and culture define a business. Lasting transformation doesn’t come from restructuring departments—it comes from empowering individuals.
Through his company, Its Pure Love, Thayne created ELAHvate Business Transformation™, a groundbreaking program that teaches emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and values-based decision-making. When employees develop these life-changing skills, they become better equipped to navigate their personal lives—leading to greater clarity, confidence, and contribution in the workplace.
When people thrive, organizations transform. When companies embrace Abundant Happiness, growth and innovation follow.
Thayne has devoted his life to helping others overcome trauma, reclaim their truth, and live fully—authentic, open, and free. After decades of isolation and pain, he now lives with intentional gratitude and vulnerability as a deeply loving and powerful man. His message is simple: this transformation is available to everyone.
Let ELAHvate show your team the way.

Logan Hall
Meet Logan Hall (formerly Robert Hall). Originally from Indiana and having spent most of his adult life in Phoenix, Logan’s early years were marked by unimaginable trauma. Abused physically, sexually, and emotionally by family members and acquaintances, he was told he didn’t matter and would never amount to anything. Born into a toxic and dysfunctional environment, Logan became a victim by default—first as a child, then tragically, as an adult.
Diagnosed with a mental disability by his own parents (who exploited the financial assistance he received) Logan was stripped of opportunity and identity. He lived under oppressive control, medicated by a system designed more to numb than to heal, caught in a cycle of dependency and despair.
In 2020, Logan met Thayne Martin through a mental health support website. Their shared history of childhood abuse and emotional scars sparked an instant bond. Recognizing the resilient, kind soul behind the pain, Thayne, along with his wife Joy and their daughters Chanelle, Savana, and Chloe, welcomed Logan into their family with unconditional love.
Thayne helped Logan see what the mental health system had failed to show him: that healing is possible. Through compassionate support, a shift in mindset, and connection with a dedicated psychologist, Logan began to break free from the grip of his past. No longer a prisoner of his diagnosis or medication, he reclaimed his life.
To mark this transformation, Robert chose a new name—Logan—symbolizing a new beginning, mental wellness, and a future filled with hope.
Today, Logan lives free of the conditions that once made life unbearable. He thrives by living the principles of The Equation of Life and Abundant Happiness, using daily gratitude practices, especially Gratitude Entanglement, to generate positive energy in his life and community.
Now a beloved member of the iplGRATITUDE365 team, Logan contributes as a friend, teacher, and production assistant, bringing passion, positivity, and purpose to everything he touches.
Logan also works in the healthcare field as a compassionate Home Healthcare Associate, helping patients daily with dignity and care.
We are deeply grateful to have Logan as part of our mission—and inspired by the light he brings to the world.
