Dillon Hayes, MD

Dr. Hayes is a psychiatrist, author, and the founder of Elephant & Co.—a platform devoted to performance and personal growth. He earned his B.S. from Cornell and began his career in finance before pursuing medicine. After receiving his M.D., he completed postgraduate training in adult psychiatry. Based in New York City, his work explores the intersection of psychology, behavior, and belief.

Elephant was created to help ambitious people master their minds and rewire limiting beliefs, so they can transform their lives and realize their potential.

The platform focuses on the inner architecture of growth—cultivating awareness, reshaping identity, and breaking the patterns that hold people back from real transformation.

  • Everyone has a different story - something to fix, something to improve upon, some unmet goal that hasn't been achieved and continues to elude them.

  • Regardless of the details, the common denominator is that they have a desire to create change in their lives.

  • If you want to fix your problems and achieve ambitious goals, you must be willing to create change. If you want a different outcome, you must change your circumstances.

  • If you want to change your circumstances, you must examine your methods and refine your approach.

Develop Insight. Create Change. Drive Growth.
