Exploring Human Potential | Explorer, Colin O'Brady

from Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael Gervais

This week’s conversation is with Colin O'Brady, an explorer and elite endurance athlete, who has set multiple records and pushed the boundaries of what we understand to be possible. He was a previous guest on Finding Mastery – episode 36 – and I’m excited to have him back on to talk about his latest feat, the world's first solo, unsupported and completely human powered crossing of Antarctica. Previous to this, he set speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits. The Explorers Grand Slam involves climbing the tallest mountain on each continent and skiing the last degree of latitude to the North and South Poles – and Colin completed it in a mere 139 days. Colin also recently published a book called, The Impossible First, a bestselling adventure memoir. We cover so much in this conversation including what continues to drive him, his thoughts on human potential, and why he believes many people are settling, when they’re capable of so much more. I’m confident you’ll leave this conversation inspired. _________________ Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more powerful conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and meaning: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMastery Get exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!
