Edward Lee Hubbard (born May 18, 1938) is a retired American Air Force officer, author, artist, and internationally known motivational speaker.

In August 1961, he went on active duty and entered the aviation cadet program at James Connally Air Force Base in Texas for Basic Navigation Training.

Since March 22, 1983, a life-sized oil painting of Hubbard by artist, John Witt, hangs inside the Pentagon as part of the United States Air Force Art Collection.

When talking about being incarcerated, Hubbard said that nothing he learned in the Air Force prepared him for such an experience, but every day he spent in a cell taught him that survival is possible, even in the most dire situations.

After retiring, he founded Positive Vectors, Inc., a firm dedicated to helping others overcome any obstacle, survive any ordeal, and reach any goal by developing the right state of mind.

Since then, Hubbard has traveled all over the country and spoken to thousands of members of corporate America, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.
