At age 65, I did a mini-version of Colin’s walk when the pandemic started. I called it my Walkabout and (because I was missing my fitness classes) on weekends I would walk 9 to 10 miles over about 5 hours starting from my front door. I got to know some of our town’s neighborhoods intimately and also would briefly visit my son and daughter who live on opposite ends of town. I really enjoyed those walks. I must say it was weird jaywalking across 4 lane roads with zero cars around! 😊
I'd like to hear a solo interview with Jenna Besaw and her life. How has she developed such tenacity and loyalty? She's a woman who lives her values it seems. Want to hear her tell her story.

12-hour walks are epic! 😍 I used to have hundreds of 12 hour walks and ended up walking 20,000 kilometers or 12,427 miles across 22 countries in 4 years and 3 months. 😅 Love you Rich! I'm listening your podcasts daily! You are my absolute favorite podcast host in the universe! Sending you lot's of powerfully positive energies!
Listening to Colin talk about K2 is the most gripping thing I have ever listened to. I was listening driving home from work and had to sit in my car to hear the end. So sad but he is so inspiring. I loved this pod and I’m looking forward to walking out my door and having a 12 hour wander around Edinburgh
It occurs to me that as a solo backpacker, I routinely do a series of 12 hour walks. I attributed the benefits to the exercise and exposure to beautiful natural places, but perhaps the psychological/introspective component was more important than I realized.
I have spent most of my life alone. The Covid barely affected my life at all, but for being forced to wear a mask at Walmart and the like. My gym was closed for awhile which made my lonely life louder. I spend my cleaning, organizing, beautifying. That, bed, TV, radio / podcasts. The one good thing about my wasteful unknown unheard inexperienced life is Covid had a minuscule affect onme. It was surreal to see people wearing masks. Moreso that so many actually believe it was/ is a healthy option. THAT realization heightened my torturous feeling of being separate and apart.
I truly enjoyed this show. But, it would have been more meaningful if we could have heard more about Jenna. Every time she would get into telling her story her husband would interrupt her…so, we didn’t get the full depth of her walk. I would love it if you did a podcast just with Jenna so she can tell us more about who she is and what her convictions are outside of her husband’s dreams…which she supports beautifully.
this interview was so inspirational. both of them were amazing - this is a relationship that spells "team" in the best way. And as a New Yorker, Colin's description of the "doormen" was so hysterical....
Recently got into watching K2 summit climbs. I find these people to be quite extraordinary to take on such a challenge. I can't even dream of doing something like this. If world war 3 hits, these are the kind of people you want to be around. survivors
I did the 12-hour walk last weekend. I walked through the night to skip the heat in Jakarta. Was that a good idea? I don't know haha! Thanks for the inspiration Colin and Rich. (I have uploaded a video of my walk if you want to have a watch)☺
So inspiring to witness the strength, determination, authenticity and deep love along with the desire to push to the limit with intention, integrity this will be a major picture movie at some point. As a mother of four young adults I’ve said this is inspiration as well as many podcasts rich do you have given the world. God bless you. We are blessed because I’m hearing this podcast
Gripped the whole entire episode. Incredible story. Heartbreaking at K2. Colin is an incredible individual & Jenna his rock and such a rock of a woman. And those men....ugh just gut wrenching. And yes the 12 hr walk is on the agenda for me but outside of that, this has been SUCH an amazing episode. Thank you!
12 hrs of this guy walking are at least 12 hrs that people close to him don't have to hear him yammer so much and dominate all conversations. I say do it daily, Colin. ... dude, have some self-awareness. Run away, Jenna, runnnnnnnnnn ... !!!!!
Loved it! But in fact it took me two days to listen to the whole podcast, it’s looong 😄 It was like watching a film, great storytelling! For me walking has always been a great way of dealing with stress and uncertainty, but I am not sure I can do a 12 hour walk. Well, maybe it’s just my limiting belief. We’ll see.
Infinite love for you! Thank you so much. This really is some of the best information that's out there. You are truly helping people and changing lives
I met a couple that were heading to Baffin Island to do BASE JUMPING... they wanted me to come along and hang out at the base camp and photograph all the jumpers... we started planning and I was working at raising the money, A few weeks in they returned from a "JUMP" where one of their best friends jumped and did NOT get his chute open in time and died instantly on impact... they showed me photos of the Memorial they placed ... and at that point I said forget it! Not something I really wanted to watch. I have some admiration for Thrill-seekers, however Life has many facets and we are NOT all supposed to climb ... or Dive, or Jump... there are many many beautiful things in life to experience. This couple will hopefully find the extreme joy of the birth of their own child and life will no doubt change for them.
Bummed that I lost count the number of times the word “like” was used. Finally chose to bow out before the halfway mark 😔 due to the distraction factor.
As trivial as it feels, I too am painfully disappointed as world wide the language is getting destroyed by sloppy use..words that become fashionable. Such as - really- actually- oh my god.. & how the interesting it is that sex, a lot of us highly value for fun, procreation, to find greater joy, for self expression & to extend compassion, has been fouled & dishonored by becoming the fuc_word in conveying loss, anger, death, deep hurt, even to describe ones high level of stoke. Its as if we want to appear to have zero care for caution & sympathy for the words original meaning & intent. When I find myself coming close to inaccurately selecting words, I make a practice to stop, examine my motive & select the most honest word not the present day faddish clinged to trash word. After a year now, Im fairly consistent at talking honestly & sticking to being polite.
My God, he never lets her talk. She was able to finish maybe one sentence. So annoying. And wasn’t he on that podcast like 4 times already? Let her tell her side of the story too.
I found some of this podcast very self indulgent and selfish. People going into a very unsafe situation and then getting shocked when it was very unsafe.
@@2011hwalker I thought the same. Being at camp 3 and ten people he has not even seen yet just show up completely unprepared? That’s when you know it’s gonna be a cluster.
Colin needs to be educated on the definition of the word 'collusion'. "secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others." Regardless of the mistake, something deeply unlikable about Colin...
Interesting story but Colin has to stop talking over Jenna - boy oh boy, the number of times she could not finish her sentence or what she was talking about started to really get annoying.
Was really interested in reading this book and hearing from this guy... Until I read the comments. I'm not interested in men who speak over women. Not cool. Kind of shocked Rich would let this happen and not step in.
I wish people pronounced the word :and' with a d at the end and not a t. It's not ant! Ugh. 2nd podcast I've listened to where someone can't enunciate.
Nirmal Purja, Mingma ‘G’ Gyalje Sherpa, Mingma David Sherpa, Mingma Tenzi Sherpa, Geljen Sherpa, Dawa Temba Sherpa, Pem Chiri Sherpa, Kilu Pemba Sherpa, Dawa Tenjin Sherpa and Sona Sherpa. are all better climbers. Literally hundreds of non-white individuals are more impressive, but not allowed on Rich Roll. Tourists. Marketing madness.
