Colin O'Brady On Peak Performance and Overcoming Setbacks in Sales | The D2D Podcast

In this episode of the D2D Podcast, Sam Taggart interviews Colin O'Brady, an 11-time world record holder, peak performance expert, and New York Times bestselling author. Colin shares incredible stories from his career, including completing the first solo, unsupported crossing of Antarctica and summiting Mount Everest twice.

During the conversation, Colin reflects on how his passion for adventure led him down a non-traditional path. Much like door-to-door sales, his journey to success was not without setbacks, but it was his resilience that made the difference.

Colin also emphasizes the concept of "planting your flag," which means fully committing to a vision, despite doubts or obstacles. He highlights the power of storytelling, both in fundraising for his expeditions and in sales scenarios—whether you’re knocking on doors or pitching a bold idea.

As a keynote speaker for D2DCon, Colin will dive deeper into his extraordinary experiences, sharing actionable strategies for sales professionals to overcome their limits and achieve peak performance.
