This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker, BiOptimizers, and Comvita.\nSeveral months ago, I took thirty days to be by myself in a secluded Vermont cabin. I had no phone, no podcasts, no music, no TV, no work, and no company\u2014it was just me and my thoughts. And I can\u2019t tell you how refreshed, recharged, and centered I felt after that trip. It can be incredibly hard spending time alone with your inner self, but it\u2019s always rewarding. That\u2019s what today\u2019s conversation with my good friend Colin O\u2019Brady is all about. Colin is a ten-time world record breaking explorer, New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker, and expert on mindset.\nHe is focused on sharing his hard-won wisdom to encourage others to step outside of their comfort zone and unlock their best lives. Colin\u2019s highly publicized expeditions have been seen by millions and his work has been featured by The New York Times, The Tonight Show, BBC, Forbes, and Today. His world-renowned feats include the world\u2019s first solo, unsupported, and fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica, speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits, as well as the first human-powered row across Drake Passage.
