On Christmas Day in 2018, American endurance athlete Colin O'Brady woke up in a tent, by himself, in the middle of Antarctica. He hadn't seen another human being in 50 days. He hitched up his sled, fell into a flow state bordering on hallucination, and walked 77 miles without stopping to become the first person to cross Antarctica on foot and unassisted. Since achieving this feat, O'Brady has set 11 world records, completed the Explorers Grand Slam, written several books and unlocked the secrets to pushing past limits. The author of The 12-Hour Walk sits down with Mind Game host Casey Bannon to debrief on a life spent overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, starting with the freak 2007 burn accident in Thailand that threatened to take away his ability to walk at the age of 22. A tale-filled discussion highlights the immense value of self-belief, how incremental gains undergird massive achievements and the quiet secret behind some of the endurance community's biggest winners.

¡Primera Dominicana al Monte Everest!La vida está llena de retos. Retos naturales que te impone la vida y otros que de una manera u otra nos colocamos nosotros mismos como misión de vida. Thais Herrera, montañista dominicana, se ha colocado el reto de escalar la montaña más alta y retadora de todo el planeta tierra, el Everest. En este episodio aprendimos de la vida, de los deportes, de los negocios y muuucho de esta gran dominicana, THAIS HERRERA. Thais nos contó cómo fue su vida profesional desde ser colaboradora en grandes empresas dominicanas hasta que tuvo un super giro personal que la empujó a explorar nuevas aventuras. En esta travesía uno de los retos que se ha impuesto ha sido el “Explorers Grand Slam”, tratando de conquistar las cumbres más altas de cada uno de los 7 continentes y llegar a ambos polos. Esto ha conllevado una mega preparación a la que Gustavo y Patty la acompañaron a un “mini entrenamiento” para conocer y sentir que significa “entrenar” para este gran reto. Todo el equipo de Pesos Pesados se siente enormemente orgulloso de Thais y lo que ha logrado. Como dominicanos, lo sentimos como un logro de todos.----- ¡Esta temporada tenemos 15 BECAS PESADAS!Nuevamente junto al TEP de la PUCMM estamos ofreciendo 15 becas en CARRERAS TÉCNICAS SUPERIOR.  ¡Accede a nuestra página web para conocer más detalles!https://www.pesospesados.do/becas-pesadas-----¡Hazte miembro de la comunidad Pesos Pesados! Tenemos dos opciones disponibles (Patreon o YouTube Memberships) para hacerte miembro de la comunidad de Pesos Pesados. ¡Solo debes elegir la plataforma (una sola) que más te guste y evalúa que paquete se parece más a ti!Únete al Patreon de Pesos PesadosHaz click en el siguiente enlace:https://patreon.com/pesospesados Saca tu membresía en "YouTube Memberships" - Pesos PesadosHaz click en el siguiente enlace: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCilAS3VH8i2p0gVNbfmbFBg/joinFollow:Recuerda seguirnos en Instagram @pesospesadosrd y follow en Spotify o Apple Podcast para enterarte cada vez que salga un nuevo episodio.

 Marcus Tobías, primer venezolano en la cima Everest y “Explorers Grand Slam”, Julio Arnaldes, ex presidente de Conseturismo y Alfredo Autiero, operador de turismo a lugares remotos y ganador del «Eco Trip Match» para el Mejor Guía de Naturaleza 2021, pidieron garantizar servicios básicos y brindar información sobre distintos destinos para impulsar el sector turismo. Tobías aseguró que se hace un sacrificio de meses para unas vacaciones, y lo mínimo que debe esperar el turista son servicios básicos disponibles, agua, luz, combustible y hasta facilitadores de servicios en la carretera. Explicó que cada vez hay más opciones en Venezuela de ecoturismo, pero la información no llega a todo el público. «Si se trabaja en garantizar servicios e información, se puede dar un paso cuántico en el ecoturismo del país» añadió. El primer venezolano en la cima Everest advirtió que debe haber un esfuerzo importante en información, programas y propuestas para mostrarle a los turistas que «pueden dejar el carro en un sitio y ver una hermosa laguna«. Por su parte, Arnaldes destacó que en Venezuela hay una línea divisoria del turismo. «El 90% de su turismo está en la zona norte, playas y litorales. La zona sur, quitando la región andina, solo abarca el 10%, Los Andes representan el 80% de ese 10%» acotó. Resaltó que Venezuela es un destino ecoturístico sin las  grandes urbes europeas El ex presidente de Conseturismo indicó que hay algunas recuperaciones como el Paseo Colón y Playa El Agua en Margarita, que le han regresado la naturalidad a estos espacios después de mucha depredación. Señaló que el desarrollo del turismo en el país nunca será explosivo porque se pierde la esencia, insistiendo en que el trabajo de recuperación lleva décadas y se debe ir haciendo poco a poco. También alertó que el acceso al crédito ha sido restringido, generando mayores trabas al crecimiento del turismo. “Hay que generar infraestructura, aeropuertos, seguridad y el sector privado es el que debe encargarse de hacer esto negocios y vender el país” dijo. Autiero aseguró que se necesitan vuelos nuevos y conectividad, porque esto va encareciendo los temas turísticos, especialmente en el turismo de naturaleza.Recalcó que se debe abordar otros temas que entran en conflicto directo con el turismo como la seguridad, minería ilegal que lejos de apoyar, ahuyenta el turismo.

BEST MOMENTS "I want people to realize that not everyone's going to climb Everest, but we all have an Everest to climb." "It's never about the finish line. It's never about the summit. It's never about the new car. It's never about the race. It's never about the new house. It's never about that physical stuff. It's never about the goal, because you can always make more money. You can always buy another car. You can always climb another mountain. You can always run another race. If you're looking for those things to make you happy, you're going to be unhappy your entire life." "It always seems impossible until it's done." "If you want something different, do something different." "Just pick one thing that you think has the most control over you and replace it with something positive, something that's going to benefit you as opposed to consuming, create something."

We walk with 10-time record breaking explorer Colin O'Brady through his personal values, motives, and habits in the key areas of life fulfillment so we can hear what has driven and does drive [him] to set world records, but ultimately, and design a life that fulfills  him. You'll hear us hit on something he says in his new book, The 12-Hour Walk, about so often being asked if he's ever afraid of dying during his epic quests up Mt Everest and across Antarctica. And he says…yes. But he's more afraid of not truly living. Experiencing life. It's not a pithy answer and I dig in on what this looks like for us. I'm not interested in death defying feats, but I sure want to get all I can out of my life. Colin's feats include the world's first solo, unsupported, and fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica, speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits, and the first human-powered ocean row across Drake Passage. Colin's expeditions have been followed by millions and his work has been featured by The New York Times, The Tonight Show, The Today Show, and Joe Rogan, that guy with a podcast almost as popular as this one. Colin's TEDx talk has nearly 3 million views and he is author of The New York Times bestseller The Impossible First and now his new book, The 12-Hour Walk: Invest One Day, Conquer Your Mind, and Unlock Your Best Life.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12  https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Colin O'Brady 10-time World Record Holder. New York Times bestselling author of The Impossible First. Colin's highly publicized expeditions have been followed by millions and his work has been featured in the New York Times, The Tonight Show, the BBC, The Joe Rogan Experience, and NBC's Today. His feats include the world's first solo, unsupported, and fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica; speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits; and the world's first human-powered ocean row across the Drake Passage. His new book is called The 12 Hour Walk. Notes: What's your Everest - The question he asked all the rich bankers that night that none had an answer to? What's your answer? What are you doing to turn that into a reality? Limiting beliefs - “We are the stories we tell ourselves.” What story are you telling yourself about… Yourself? Life is on a scale of 1 to 10. Most people live most days around a 5 or 6. They don't have any 1s and they don't have any 10s. What can you do to change that? How can you live a life that has some 1s and 10s? Mantra: "Colin! You are strong. You are capable." The most important muscle is the brain.  The possible mindset: See the optimism in all opportunities. Colin's mom told him he could achieve anything that he set his mind to. Colin had an accident and caught on fire while jumping a flaming jump rope... His doctor told him that he would probably never walk again. At that moment, Colin set the goal to complete a triathlon. A year later, he WON the Chicago triathlon. With Colin as your guide, The 12-Hour Walk asks you to invest one day in yourself. The goal? Conquering your mind and becoming your best self. By walking alone, unplugging, listening to the voice within, and rewriting the limiting beliefs etched into your psyche, you can break free of the patterns holding you back and learn how to cultivate a “Possible Mindset”—an empowered way of thinking that unlocks a life of limitless possibilities. The reward: being the hero of your own destiny. Question to ask yourself: What is your Everest? What does fulfillment look like? You must take care of yourself first... Excellence: A deep connection with your why. PASSION. Genuine curiosity Love If no one was watching, would you still do it?

So, what would make someone strap a sled loaded with 375 pounds of food and supplies onto their body, then drag it across a stormy, windswept, frozen landmass at the bottom of the earth for 54 days in brutal subzero temperatures, just to say they did it? What might the average person - meaning you and me - who has little to no interest in doing anything remotely so extreme, learn from this experience that would translate into our ability to live better lives, in far less brutal environments, every day? And, how might committing to a more accessible, single-day of challenge, radically change our perspective on all parts of life?These are the questions I had, and the topics we explore with today's guest, ten-time world record-breaking explorer, speaker, entrepreneur, and expert on mindset, Colin O'Brady. His feats include the world's first solo, unsupported, and fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica, speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits, and the first human-powered, 700-mile ocean row across Drake Passage, maybe the most dangerous and brutal body of frigid, wave-stream ocean that spans South America to Antarctica. Colin's highly publicized expeditions have been followed by millions and his work has been featured by The New York Times, The Tonight Show, The Joe Rogan Experience, and The Today Show. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller The Impossible First and now The 12-Hour Walk: Invest One Day, Conquer Your Mind, and Unlock Your Best Life.But, what got me so curious, was how preparing for and then mounting these extreme, physically-grueling challenges, was actually as much, if not more about the mind as it was about the body. And, I wanted to know, beyond why anyone would do these things, how they changed him, as a human being, what we all might learn from this and how we might create more accessible, yet transformative versions in our own lives, and experience the powerful benefits that come from them? And, as part of that, we talk about an interesting invitation he's created to say yes to what he calls The 12-Hour Walk.You can find Colin at: Website | The 12-Hour Walk | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Rich Roll about the interplay between body and mind and how we can use each as a lever to evolve the other.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.ClickUp: 15% Off.

And then get ready we have an NFT edition, a Dubai edition and SO MUCH MORE.  On today's episode I'm joined by Omar Samra. He's such an amazing personality—both an entrepreneur and as someone who has scaled amazing mountains and peaks in his life. He is the first Egyptian to climb Mount Everest, also is one of 40 known people to accomplish the "Explorers Grand Slam" challenge, which include climbing the highest mountain on every continent, the 7 summits, and skiing to both the South and North Poles. Last year saw the release of “beyond the raging sea”, a documentary which chronicles the maritime challenges he undertook to highlight the plight of refugees crossing dangerous waters. He was in Egypt a few weeks ago and I had a chance to reconnect with him.   Links: Omar's social: Website • Instagram • Facebook • Twitter • YouTube Beyond the Raging Sea • on IMDb Follow Digital & Savvy on Instagram
