From Olympic silver medallist to rock bottom and the long road back, Scott Miller's story is one of extraordinary highs, devastating lows and hard-earned perspective. At the peak of his swimming career, Scott represented Australia on the world stage and stood on the Olympic podium. Away from the pool, however, his life took a very different direction as he faced addiction, criminal offending, prison and the consequences of choices that ultimately cost him almost everything. In this conversation, Scott reflects honestly on the discipline required to compete at the highest level, the reality of life after elite sport, and what happens when achievement, identity and purpose begin to unravel. He also shares what rebuilding looks like when there are no shortcuts, taking responsibility for the past, confronting personal demons and trying to move forward one decision at a time. This is not simply a story about sporting success or redemption. It's a raw conversation about pressure, addiction, accountability, resilience and the difficult work required to change your life after hitting rock bottom. This is Scott Miller beyond the podium, his journey, his perspective, and the hard truth about rebuilding a life from the ground up.
