I lived out at Colin's place for almost 3 years out of my VW bus. Every time I'm out there, it's like an electricity storm. Both of our energy feeds off each other. Out of all the people I've met in met life, he's almost 100% always in the moment. He's guided me in life and I him. He's 82 and fucking still in it! God I love this motherfucker. There are certain people in life that help shape you. Colin has definitely guided me in many ways and still does!
Colin used to own The Australian Stocksaddle Company in California. Beautiful saddles. I own one called the Police Poly. He designed it specifically for police officers to use.They needed comfort for long shifts in the saddle. Ordered it over the phone, speaking to Colin. Best conversation ever! Then I met him in person at an equine event in Maryland. He was there with his stock saddle company. Thanked him for the most comfortable and most beautiful saddle I ever owned. Lovely gentlemen! This was almost 25 years ago. And here he is! Small world indeed!
He really is quite a fiee cracker. Tried to sell me another saddle. I settled on a gallon of "Aussie Croc Saddle Oil" A must have to keep his saddles in good condition! His words.Still have the saddle. Have been out of the croc oil for some time though. 😉 After all these years on the trail, the saddle is scratched up and banged up, but it's still as comfy as ever!
Sitting on the couch, enjoying your hobbies, has to be the most overhated activity of all time. I love watching classic cinema in 4k. I spend hours doing it, it gives me purpose, and it makes me happy. I stay healthy by running and I work enough to support my hobby. no kids for me, no car for me. As little risk as possible. I just like to enjoy my life. I'm 25, I've been in a happy relationship for 5 years, and after years of depression I've finally allowed myself to just enjoy my hobbies without guilt. I'm not failing by not "maximizing my potential" or "furthering my career". I've found what makes me happy and I'll stick to it. Nobody will ever convince me to sacrifice my happiness for a job. I will work enough to survive and fund my humble lifestyle, and not 1 minute more. I reject the grind.
Fair enough but you’re only 25 so young enough to take some more risks. You don’t want to keep sitting on the couch for the rest of your life, surely?.
Youre young so you have that going for you. There’s a lot to be said for people who DONT enjoy getting out there and taking risks. If you’re older it’s because you already have and it’s paid off or it hasn’t, either way you’re done. If you’re younger it’s because you know what you like. Dont ever let society define YOUR happiness.
Netflix has your entire life planned with programming, written by AI and performed by your favorite familiar faces. Your memories will be exactly the same as millions of other sad humans, whom have also traded life's precious moments for a simulated feeling generated by a screen.
Just wait until your parents get sick, you have a child, or any other 911. Then you’ll understand the grind. Better to grind when you don’t need to, so you don’t have to grind when you can’t afford to.
Reminds me of my grandfather. Old man lived up north near Darwin in Australia. Ran a station up that way, used to grow Mangoes as a hobby. Passed away in 2010 when I was about 20 - miss him. He used to yap on and on about all his stories, miss hearing them now but as a youngster, used to drive me to tears! Hahaha - Nobody has a bigger heart than the folk up north. Some of the best memories of my life were up that way.
Colin you are a great inspiration to me. You confirm my way of life, that of being up for change and risk, even as a woman in mu 60s I still live a nomadic life and make it work for me, like no predicted outcome life style can do. Its exciting and yes it pushes me to go further with the trust that all will be just fine. Heres a saying I think you will appreciate....."I never lose, I win or I learn." Amen.
I'm 57 with a lot of health conditions, and I just lay in my bed and do. Nothing, I need to change a)ots I f things. Thank you for your comment can I message you?
I'm a psychologist and I have given clients the True Colors Personality Test. I took it myself and I am an orange. The reason why most states dress their inmates in orange is because they are risk takers ( unfortunately illegal risks). We are more visual individuals. We prefer to lead than follow. We think outside the box. Colin is a perfect example of an orange personality. He is visual, even in his stories. He illustrates his experiences. An absolute treasure. Please bring him back again.
the true colors personality test is wishy washy pseudoscience. You might as well do tarot cards and horoscopes while you're at it. This is not scientific and it's not based in fact or research.
Good morning from Essington Pa. USA. I really enjoyed this most interesting, conversation, with Mark, and this amazing Aussie gentleman. What an adventerous, jovial and intelligent man. Thankyou Colin, God bless you. 👍😊🇦🇺🇺🇸 🙏
It is great to have Colin back on your channel. I can listen to him for hours. More interviews like these please. They are absolutely fascinating and appreciated by folks like me.
I just turned 70 and if you had told me how my life story would unfold back then, I would have said you have the wrong person. It turned out to be a ride beyond anything I could have imagined.
Life is finding a balance and Risk-taking leads you to high reward, but if you don’t have the wisdom to know when to take the risk, it will leave you empty-handed.
Colin is delightful, it’s great to see him back! This is more than I can say for the anonymous asshole (decidedly NOT delightful) who kept me up until 1 o’clock in the morning with fireworks last night. I admire the Australian people tremendously. They are a sharp, tough lot.
Many words of wisdom, but also old school. Things like "men used to control women; now it's obvious that women control men" and the women take all this money in divorces. Yeah, that's the stuff of Colin's generation, and I hope to live long enough to see this kind of whiny stuff die out. Otherwise, it's a delight to listen to his life story.
I take after my father, who was a HUGE risk taker. My life has been nothing but major risks, mostly calculated, some spontaneous. I've lost a lot as a result but it's been an adventure to be sure. Glad to see ol' Colin back to regale us with his life's wisdom. He's spot on.
I absolutely loved this interview. Thank you for this. "if you dont push your spirit..." this was so true and inspirational. The joy of pushing yourself, taking risk, absolutely.
It’s 7 24 am here in Dallas Texas Getting ready to head out to work my husband and own our own business we do yard maintenance and Some landscaping been doing it over 30 years yes we still have couple of original clients we wow a young mid twenty couple now we are in our late 50s I do believe working honestly fairly and physically has kept us Pretty much healthy but by fears hasn’t kept us from heartache we had our share we have 3 beautiful daughters 9 Grandchildren all together the youngest being just 1 year old She is our joy I have 2 granddaughters whom just graduated Collage both majoring in Education being we have a long line of Elementary teachers we basically work hard to keep our Now Grandkids in School we are a Hispanic family mixed with white I’m proud to be an American just wanted to brag on my family because God is good and also tell u Mark how I simply enjoy your channel my youngest whom is 28 got me interested in your channel I never miss one episode keep up the Good work mark I think your amazing plenty of times I’ve found myself praying and also in tears watching some of these broken people Mark just remind them that God is good Because he is we adore u and Thank u 👌🏼🤗❤️
You deserve to be proud. My husband runs his own business and I'm a retired nurse. We also raised wonderful independent children who now have their own families and have good work ethics. There's a lot of reward from hard work and only well thought out risk😊.
My spirit almost broke, but I keep taking risks and when the chance to learn what I can do comes.. I go for it! Colin, you are a very wise and wonderful man. Thank you for inspiring me to keep on jumping back on the horse.
Great interview Mark. I remember Dr Christian Bernard 😊 My mom was in the hospital after his first successful trasplant. She was in the same elevator as him and she was so excited that she met him. Thank you also to this man fir shareing in this interview. He has some interesting things to say. God bless him and his horse.
I really enjoyed your book "Talking With Horses". Thank you for sharing your wisdom once again. 💙🌎 Always reinventing yourself. You're a good human as well.
Colin is an amazing fella. I was so excited to see a follow up with him. His talk on risk was inspiring and I am now looking at it differently. Thank you!!!
Well, my wife is a wonderful cook, BUT...my stepmother's cooking was absolutely horrendous when I was growing up, as a kid. I took that risk every day, lol!
❤❤❤Yippee, Colin’s Back - I’m loving these characters could listen all day , I love ❤️ his take on Mistakes in life - Sometimes they can feel like they are happening to you , but it turns out it’s happened for you .Thank YOU 🙏 Fifi
thankyou mark and colin i love your story and it has given me so much more meaning to living in cairns than id first imagined what and awesome bunch of stories
He has not lived my life this advice is only good to a point I took a chance and stood up against abuse now on a watchlist stalked, harassed, Asset Stripped, home trespassing, theft once on the watchlist you never get off! There are thousands like me! Activist, True Tellers, Reporters etc...
yeah, this guy lucked his way into a job by barging into someone's office 40 years ago. These days, that would get you tasered by security and arrested. His advice is not practical, hes just a go-getter who BS'd his way into a nice career. he says it himself, he only got the job because he sailed to the USA in a leaky boat.
The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks. Be brave. Take risks. Cheers Colin! 🍻
Loved this whole interview and his thoughts on risk EXCEPT his jaded “men used to control women and now women are trying to control men” sentiment, and “women walk away with all the money.” Cmon, guy. Not everyone is trying to control each other and the divorce thing is certainly not always true
Horses are such sensitive creatures and I wonder how your horse feels being forced to gallop in the night, in the heavy rain, down hills, through rough country. If that horse slips and falls it's game over for the horse. I know you are chasing feeling anything, feeling fear specifically, but think about how that poor horse feels when you subject it to such terrifying conditions.
Hey Mark, thanks for all of the hard work that you do every year. It doesn't matter if you reply or not, but I would like to request some interviews which feature artists, graduates, auto workers, or even medical practictioners. If you've already interviewed people from these professions would you please upload?
As a fellow horse person, he's spot on. I can't even begin to explain the divine feeling horses can transfer to us. It's a fine balance of trusting them with your whole being while simultaneously knowing they could kill you.
this man is the polar opposite of me... I need this man to speak into my ear daily... "safe=smart"? I just don't know anymore... it's time to tiptoe into the water...
Its funny how your attitude toward risk changes over time (at least for me it has). Growing up in Europe and having had a global career, ever since I can think my dream was to come to America. I signed off my last ship in 1995 and came here on a one-way ticket - not knowing anybody, no money, no job/papers etc. There was not a doubt in my mind and fear never even entered the picture. Fast forward 20years, I had to make a decision to move from the east coast to the west coast (technically, another no brainer) took me months and months to contemplate to make the move (also not knowing anybody but equipped with 10x the ability to make the move x-country vs what I had immigrating to the US) Both were without a doubt the best decisions I ever made. I think bad experiences over time, wire you too be more cautious (sometimes needlessly) which is a shame.
It will never be in my nature to be a risk taker except for what life unwittingly throws my way but I do believe that it makes you more interesting and vital and the mind stronger and more resilient !
BELIEF IS THE ENEMY OF KNOWING! When your thinking aligns with truth, you've arrived at the knowing. There are billions of wrong beliefs, but only ONE knowing. ❤
Another fab interview! He is totally crazy but a success nonetheless. Would love to hear one of his ex wives or children's side of his story 😬 Def bring Colin back again, love him ❤
Colin is a product of his time, and that time is long gone. His narrow view on life is obvious, but I'll take his advice about concentrating on one thing and mastering it.
I've tried for years to figure out what it is about Colin that people find so endearing. He's one of the most manipulative, name-dropping self-promoting bullshit artists in Southern California. Not surprised at all that he submitted an application to sit down with Mark just to hear himself talk. Never met a horse wearing one of his "custom-fitted" saddles that wasn't almost crippled from being so backsore. I've kicked his poorly designed saddles off of client horses because they were so poorly-fitted the horses would crumple when you touched their backs, even though they were made specifically for those horses. Just absolutely deplorable. Maybe it's his accent that makes people think he's interesting and exotic, but all I see is a sexist, smooth-talking snake oil salesman who's gotten very good at taking advantage of people who like to hear a good story.
I just heard him mention working on the film Man from Snowy River , and the Australian stock saddle which I heard a lot about as my brother is Heath Harris who I’m sure Colin would (past tense) have definitely known as Heath was the horse trainer /wrangler /stunt rider. That amazing scene of the horses& rider charging full pelt down that steep mountain , he broke his Leg in 16 places during bone of the 6-8 takes .. anyway I wanted to mention this as Heath suddenly took his life in 2022 at the age of 74 , for reasons that I won’t mention here but it’s torn what was left of my family apart .. such a coincidence , I would love to contact Colin to ask if he was friends or knew Heath . Despite what he did , he was certainly an amazing horse man on many levels ,I miss him .
I lived out at Colin's place for almost 3 years out of my VW bus. Every time I'm out there, it's like an electricity storm. Both of our energy feeds off each other. Out of all the people I've met in met life, he's almost 100% always in the moment. He's guided me in life and I him. He's 82 and fucking still in it! God I love this motherfucker. There are certain people in life that help shape you. Colin has definitely guided me in many ways and still does!
This is really nice to hear about him. He seems just as you described him.
Well said....motherfucker!!
Beaudy maate.
Shining Souls you Mark and Colin😊
I’ve learned a lot from him just watching the videos.
Colin used to own The Australian Stocksaddle Company in California. Beautiful saddles. I own one called the Police Poly.

@@heidrunmercer1593 he pretty much does still own the Australian Stock Saddle company. It’s just under his own name now. Nothing else changed.

Love this guy. He may be my favorite guest, on this channel. Such an interesting person!
Thankfully he was able to successfully colonize Jupiter for the rest of us. Couldn't have done it without the risk.

I can talk to this man for countless hours, would love to listen to more stories. Reminds me of my father. Thank you for this interview.

he's got a podcast - so you can! I did!
Irs a pure delight to hear Colin talk. I look forward to next time. Thanks Mark ❤
What an amazing person Colin is. I wish I could have the mindset, and life outlook he has.

Woooo! No way just randomly stumbled upon and finished the first interview yesterday! Really wish I could live like this dude!
Always gives me a fresh/new perspective right when I need it. I’m a risk taker and I wouldn’t change anything. Love Colin 🫶
I love this interview! Taken many risks. And he is right on!
Colin is an amazing fella. I was so excited to see a follow up with him. His talk on risk was inspiring and I am now looking at it differently. Thank you!!!
I love this man. I could listen to him tell stories and his philosophies for days!
Had to listen to this one twice. He’s refreshing. I really like him. ❤
I hope he did not toss that coat where Rebecca spit🤣
Oh yeah! I remember this fine fella!
Great interview, thanks, Colin/ Mark🤘
LIFE IS RISKY!!! It's so risky that NO ONE makes it out alive!!!
I could listen to Colin all day long.
can you please get more people like this on, wisdom is a nice change don't u think?
I would take a risk every time i ate my Ex-Wifes cooking.
Well, my wife is a wonderful cook, BUT...my stepmother's cooking was absolutely horrendous when I was growing up, as a kid. I took that risk every day, lol!
😂😂
lol
And when you put your head on your pillow, assuming you’ve told her about her cooking!
He reminds me of Keith Richards
IKR! 😁

Thanks Mark.
not only is "the risk of war omnipresent," as stated by colin; the reality of multiple ongoing wars is omnipresent, as well.

It will never be in my nature to be a risk taker except for what life unwittingly throws my way but I do believe that it makes you more interesting and vital and the mind stronger and more resilient !
BELIEF IS THE ENEMY OF KNOWING! When your thinking aligns with truth, you've arrived at the knowing. There are billions of wrong beliefs, but only ONE knowing. ❤
This guys f^ckn awesome.!!!!!❤❤❤❤#neverholdback #lifecap. Almost forgot thank you Mark ✅️ shit I hope he's right 😂😂😂
Another fab interview! He is totally crazy but a success nonetheless. Would love to hear one of his ex wives or children's side of his story 😬
Def bring Colin back again, love him ❤
What an interesting man. I would love to spend an hour or so just talking to him.
Colin is a product of his time, and that time is long gone. His narrow view on life is obvious, but I'll take his advice about concentrating on one thing and mastering it.
I've tried for years to figure out what it is about Colin that people find so endearing. He's one of the most manipulative, name-dropping self-promoting bullshit artists in Southern California. Not surprised at all that he submitted an application to sit down with Mark just to hear himself talk. Never met a horse wearing one of his "custom-fitted" saddles that wasn't almost crippled from being so backsore. I've kicked his poorly designed saddles off of client horses because they were so poorly-fitted the horses would crumple when you touched their backs, even though they were made specifically for those horses. Just absolutely deplorable.
Maybe it's his accent that makes people think he's interesting and exotic, but all I see is a sexist, smooth-talking snake oil salesman who's gotten very good at taking advantage of people who like to hear a good story.
I just heard him mention working on the film Man from Snowy River , and the Australian stock saddle which I heard a lot about as my brother is Heath Harris who I’m sure Colin would (past tense) have definitely known as Heath was the horse trainer /wrangler /stunt rider. That amazing scene of the horses& rider charging full pelt down that steep mountain , he broke his
Leg in 16 places during bone of the 6-8 takes .. anyway I wanted to mention this as Heath suddenly took his life in 2022 at the age of 74 , for reasons that I won’t mention here but it’s torn what was left of my family apart .. such a coincidence , I would love to contact Colin to ask if he was friends or knew Heath . Despite what he did , he was certainly an amazing horse man on many levels ,I miss him .
He's very interesting, but once the camera is off and he returns home, at the end of the day, I wonder if he really is as happy as he portrays.
I was a commercial Salmon fisherman. But really all jobs that I worked had some degree of risk.
Great video!! 🧡
