Scott Cochran: Authenticity, Addiction, and the Journey to Recovery

The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman

On this episode of The Burn Podcast, I sit down with Coach Scott Cochran, a legend in strength and conditioning. We talk about his journey from working with Nick Saban at Alabama to making a huge impact at Georgia—all while staying true to his values.

Scott opens up about his struggles with addiction and his path to recovery. His honesty is inspiring, and we dig into his powerful initiatives like Eliminate The Whisper and the American Addiction Recovery Association. These programs are all about fighting the stigma of addiction and saving lives.

We also cover how companies can support employees dealing with addiction, plus Coach Cochran’s insights on leadership, communication, and connecting with young athletes in a real way.

This conversation is filled with wisdom and practical steps to create real change in YOUR life and those YOU lead.
