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

But whether that's your romantic partner, your best friend, your brother, someone you have yet to meet, I believe we are stronger together.

And although it's an interesting thing to say because people have pointed out like if you just look at the top headline of the New York Times, man crosses Antarctica solo.

It's like, oh, here's this guy completely by himself doing this badass thing that no one's ever done.

Like that couldn't be further than the truth of the essence of this.

Like this is a, I am a compilation of all of the people who have put love and energy into me throughout my entire life, as well as the people that have sat in the trenches with me when I've had a crazy idea on a whiteboard and didn't say that's not possible.

They said, cool, let's figure it out.

Let's create.

You know, for me, I finished two months ago yesterday.

So it's only been two months since I finished.

And actually, after finishing, I knew that Lou was just a few days behind me.

And so as badly as I want to change those underwear and get out of there with a warm meal and get the heck out of Antarctica, I was pretty done with it.

I wanted to honor him and I waited at the finish line until he crossed.

So I stayed there for a couple of extra days, waited for him to cross.

He ultimately completed it becoming the second person, the only other person on the planet that has done this crossing.

And it was so amazing to be there, to be the first person to congratulate on him on what was an extraordinary achievement as well.

So that was kind of the first order of business as I stayed in Antarctica a little bit longer.

And then finally flew back to the United States and I've been incredibly humbled by

press and the media and interviews and things like that.

It's been amazing in that regard.

And the reason that I am proud of that, again, is not just because I liked seeing my name in print, but more so it validates this art piece, this reverberation of positivity and giving me this platform to speak about the things that I care about.
