303: Push Beyond Your Limits

Colin was on the beach in Thailand and decided to try Fire Poi (fire dancing). A few minutes later, he got tangled up, caught on fire, and burned 25% of his body so badly he was bedridden for months. A former athlete, he was devastated to learn that he might never walk properly again. Fast forward a couple years... Colin not only walks, but he runs, cycles, and swims. He quits his job and becomes a professional tri-athlete competing in 22 countries. As if this wasn't enough of an accomplishment in and of itself, he then climbed the highest peaks on all 7 continents and hit both the North and South Poles setting two world records. O'Brady defines what it means to push beyond your limits, and his story and inspiring work will make you want to set an audacious goal for yourself. ------------ Listen & Learn: How Colin burned 25% of his body in a random accident How the "butterfly effect" can potentially help you transform from "stuck" to "success" How Colin completed the "Explorer's Grand Slam" where he climbed the seven tallest peaks on all 7 continents and hit both the North and South Poles How he started a non-profit off the back of his twp world records ABOUT OUR GUEST Colin O'Brady was born in Olympia, Washington and grew up as an athlete playing soccor and swimming.
