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

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.
