## Resource

Colin O'Brady -- world record holder for the Explorers Grand Slam (all Seven Summits plus both poles in 139 consecutive days) and first person to complete a solo, unsupported, unaided crossing of Antarctica (The Impossible First, approximately 1,000 miles in 54 days) -- discusses flow state training, Vipassana silent meditation retreats, and the daily mantra "you are strong, you are capable." He covers his recovery from severe burns in Thailand that doctors said would prevent him from walking, his path to winning the Chicago Triathlon 18 months after his accident, the philosophy of infinite love and untapped human potential, and the 50 High Points speed record. Also discussed: competing against British explorer Lou Rudd, wife and co-creator Jenna O'Brady's role in strategy and logistics, and the universality of human potential beyond elite achievement.
