Defining Your Everest

When life delivers a crushing blow, your mindset can be your greatest prison or your greatest weapon. At 22 years old, Colin O'Brady was severely burned across 25% of his body and told by doctors he would never walk normally again. Refusing to accept that verdict, he challenged every limiting belief placed on him and rebuilt from zero, competing in a triathlon eight months later before becoming the first person to cross Antarctica solo. In this episode, Colin shares how shifting to a possible mindset can help you overcome self-doubt, unlock self-healing, and break through your limits.
