World-record setting adventure athlete and New York Times bestselling author Colin O’Brady returns for his fifth appearance on the podcast (RRP 207, 235, 439 & 519), this time alongside wife and partner in all things Jenna Besaw —the powerful engine behind everything they have accomplished together.

Today we talk about Colin’s new book, The 12-Hour Walk, and movement which invites all of us to join him on Sept. 10th to do our own 12-hour walk, which you can learn more about at 12hourwalk.com.

We also discuss Jenna’s critical role in all of their expeditions, including to Everest with friend of the pod Mike Posner.
