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

But I'm not there for a flash instant in my mind.

I'm there and I can feel the wind blowing and I can see my mom on the other side holding a red towel.

And I can see my sister who's going to race in the race behind me and all this.

Or I started going back to driving to school with my sister, Kaitlyn, actually.

And we did that every single day to high school for years and years and years.

you know, we're siblings.

Sometimes we would talk, sometimes we wouldn't talk.

Sometimes we'd listen to music, sometimes we wouldn't.

I actually could start to remember full sequences of 10, 15 minute, these drives over and over and over again.

So in this flow state, I was almost in this lucid dream state where I discovered that the memories, everything we've been through, even those memories, you think like, that's not a part of me, or I've let that go, or that's not there.

Like they are there and in rich detail.

And so in this flow state, I'm actually remembering everything

all of the things that happened to me through my life to lead up to this moment.

The kid in the swimming pool, the 22-year-old that got severely burned in a fire in Thailand, was told I would never walk again, spent three months in the hospital.

My mom's, you know, recovery, helping me recover through that and the positivity, triathlon, heartbreaking relationships, love, family, community, all of these things in this lucid detail, in this dreamlike state, walking across Antarctica for 32 hours, the finish line.

It was an unbelievable experience.

Crazy, man.

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely a pivotal moment in my life, to say the least.

I just after graduating from college, I've been a swimmer in college and, you know, didn't grow up with a lot of money as a kid, but I'd always dream like, hey, like one day I want to like see the world.
