The Man Who Walked Across Antarctica - Colin O'Brady - #509

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Colin O'Brady. He's a 10-time world record-breaking explorer and one of the world's best endurance athletes. The things that we believe can act like a glass ceiling, it's an imaginary limit that we place on what we can achieve in life because of our age or experience or money or self-trust. Colin is a man who has annihilated his way through that glass ceiling and is here to show us what's on the other side. Expect to learn what it's like to have to drag a 375-pound sled a thousand miles across the Antarctic, why having a British Special Forces soldier breathing down your neck can help you move faster, why the chasm of comfortable complacency is a place we can all fall into, what it feels like to get third-degree burns over a third of your body in Thailand, how to rid yourself of limiting beliefs and much more.
