What I Discuss With Colin O'Brady about the 12-Hour Walk

In our interview, Colin guides us on The 12-Hour Walk, where he asks you to invest one day in bettering yourself. The objective? Transforming your mindset and evolving into your best self.

The reward: becoming the hero of your own future you.
