The School of Greatness · 54 Days Alone in Antarctica, Pulling 375 Pounds | Colin O’Brady · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

I actually went out there intentionally with not a lot of music, not a lot of podcasts, because I wanted to explore the silence of these flow states that I hope to tap into in my mind, something I'm very curious about, the sort of mental side of this.

And she goes, tomorrow, do me a favor.

Try to find the flow, even if just for a minute or two minutes.

It's going to be a hard day.

And so just those words, I went to sleep and I was like, okay, I made it to the first waypoint.

I'll get up tomorrow and kind of regroup.

And then I woke up.

and I'm big on mantras, but this mantra had never been with me before this, and just came to me out loud as my alarm went off to wake me up on my first real full day out there.

I said out loud to myself, I said, Colin, you are strong, you are capable.

You are strong, you are capable.

And that ended up being my mantra every single day, waking up for the rest of the entire 54-day journey.

And sure enough, that next day, was it stupid challenging?

Yes, but instead of two miles, I made it eight miles.

And I found that flow state for a minute.

The next day was nine miles.

And I found that flow for two or three minutes.

And so we had a strategy.

It went out the window on day one.

Had to refocus, refocus on the mind, adjust a few things with our strategy because I was hoping to go further distances in that.

She's like, well, like maybe it's not shorter distances at this at first, but as it gets lighter, maybe it'll go longer and all this kind of stuff.
