#272: Colin O Brady On Crossing Antarctica Alone, Crazy Training Challenges and The Impossible First Mindset!


Listen Later

Colin is an explorer and elite endurance athlete who has set multiple world records and is a leading expert on mindset.

Among his feats are the world's first solo, unsupported, and human-powered crossing of Antarctica, speed records for Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits; and reaching the highest point in all fifty US states in a record-breaking twenty-one days.

Prior to December 2018, no individual had ever crossed the landmass of Antarctica alone, without support and completely human-powered.

His incredible book and New York Times Best Seller 'The Impossible First – From Fire to Ice – Crossing Antarctica Alone' spans his triumphant recovery from a tragic accident to his gripping 932-mile solo crossing of Antarctica.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast:

  • Burning 25% of his body in Thailand at 22 and how his mother helped him to build his current mindset.
  • His pivot from triathlon into extreme challenges
  • The power of the mantra "this too shall pass"
  • How he prepared for his Antarctica crossing.
  • His training and nutrition in the lead-up and during the crossing.
  • Managing the fear loop and handling negative self-talk
  • How anyone can build the mental strength to do insane challenges.
