Discover the mindset-altering power of Colin O'Brady’s 12-hour walk.
Last week, we had the privilege of attending the “Built How” conference in Phoenix, organized by our company, Place. While this event primarily focused on real estate, it offered much more than that. Throughout the conference, we discovered a recurring theme: mindset. Today, we want to share our insights from the conference and introduce you to a remarkable individual named Colin O’Brady.
Colin O’Brady, an extreme endurance athlete and author of “The 12 Hour Walk,” was one of the standout speakers at the conference. While you might be wondering how his experiences relate to real estate, the truth is that his story holds valuable lessons for anyone looking to live a better life.
Colin has achieved incredible feats, including summiting Mount Everest and traversing Antarctica. However, what sets him apart is his mission to inspire us to live our best lives. His book, “The 12 Hour Walk,” revolves around a pivotal moment in 2020 during the midst of the pandemic. Faced with lockdowns, bad news, and the challenges that rocked us all, Colin embarked on a 12-hour walk along the Oregon coast.
During this solitary journey, he disconnected from technology, conversations, and distractions, immersing himself in nature. The book delves into his experiences during those 12 hours and how they transformed his perspective and mindset in the face of adversity.
Colin’s story also highlights how this simple act of taking time for oneself can be transformative. He shares the impact of his 12-hour walk on his 77-year-old mother-in-law, demonstrating that we all need moments to clear our heads, whether it’s for business, personal growth, health, or spirituality.
