Colin’s success extends into entrepreneurship, life, and impact through his nonprofit and various businesses, partnerships, and communities.  His book, The Impossible First, chronicling his adventures in Antarctica is a New York Times bestseller and is now being adapted into a major motion picture.  In 2022, Colin launched a global movement alongside his second book, The 12-Hour Walk.  Colin’s endeavors have enabled him to inspire millions across the globe, demonstrating that with determination, there are truly no limits to what we can achieve.
