Today, I’m joined by Colin O’Brady, an endurance athlete, New York Times bestselling author, and a 10-time world record-breaking explorer who became the first person in history to complete a solo crossing of Antarctica in 2018.

In 2008, Colin suffered a devastating burn injury while backpacking in Thailand. Doctors told him he was unlikely to walk normally again. But by March 2009, he was back to winning triathlons. Colin has also summited Mount Everest (twice), rowed across the Drake Passage, and set the record for the fastest summiting of the 50 highest points in each U.S. state.

Colin’s TEDx talk, “Change Your Mindset, Achieve Anything” has been viewed more than 3 million times, while his book “The Impossible First” earned him a spot on the New York Times bestseller list. His most recent book, The 12 Hour Walk, aims to help readers overcome their limiting mindsets.

In today’s packed episode, you’ll hear Colin tell tales of crossing Antarctica, climbing Everest, and leaving billionaire hedge fund managers speechless. You’ll also get insight on how to conquer your mental roadblocks, how to find your purpose in life, and how to unlock a new level of perseverance in both your personal and professional life.
