What's Your Everest? Summiting your hopes snd dreams and overcoming obstacles with Colin O'Brady

Colin O'Brady is a 10 times world record holding explorer, Mountaineer, Speaker, Entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author. I met Colin last year when I signed up to do an endurance challenge called Everesting 29029. I have two podcast episodes dedicated entirely about this experience for more listen in to episode 40 and 41.

In today's interview, we dive deep into each of his deeply personal stories of resilience, grit, overcoming failures, and tapping into your intuition. I learned so much from Colin personally and from his mindset and I am so excited to introduce him to you.

Colin was raised in Portland, Oregon and spent his childhood as a super active kid with a passion for adventures in outdoors. He excelled at sports and by the time he reached high school, he was nationally ranked in swimming and soccer. He was ultimately recruited to swim at Yale University where he graduated with a Bachelor's in economics.

Instead of going to a corporate job after graduation, he decided to save money by painting houses in the summer so that he could fulfill his lifelong dream of backpack and surf and travel the world. He was met with a tragic accident in Thailand and was injured severely in a fire, which burned 25% of his body, leaving him unable to walk and use his arms.

But Colin was determined to beat the odds. With the encouragement of his mother, he had a desire to complete a triathlon as his first goal after recovery, even though doctors told him that he may never walk again. He not only went on to complete it but finished in first place within 18 months of that accident. He then went on to become a professional triathlete and ultimately became a mountaineer and an explorer.

He completed the Explorer's Grand Slam in record time, summiting the highest peaks in each of the seven continents. He's also summited Mount Everest twice, and he became the first person to walk from one end of Antarctica to the other end, completely unassisted and unsupported, meaning he had to drag his supplies of food and fuel for 60 days on his back.
