TRE 230 - Colin O'Brady - The 12-Hour Walk

Colin O'Brady is a 10-time world record-breaking explorer and one of the world's best endurance athletes. He isn't your typical adventurer despite his unmatched athletic accomplishments, including a world-first solo crossing of Antarctica, a world-first ocean row across the Drake Passage (from South America to Antarctica), and summiting Mt. Everest twice.

Colin is an expert on mindset, a highly sought-after keynote speaker, and a New York Times bestselling author. And he's done it all after overcoming a devastating accident - that nearly left him unable to walk - to prove that anything is possible.

In this episode, Colin shares his anything but familiar story. From growing up in Portland, Oregon, and loving nature, to earning an economics degree at Yale, to following his gut and taking a trip rather than taking a high-paying job on Wall Street after graduation.

His journey was turned around by an accident he suffered in Thailand. He learned he wouldn't be able to walk again. Still, with the unconditional love from his mother and a "possible mindset," he managed to recover and later won the Chicago triathlon, setting him on his path of pushing his limits while creating an impact on others.
