Britt Reid on Rebuilding His Life with Mission and Purpose After Losing Everything
About this episode
Britt Reid shares his journey of overcoming addiction and finding purpose after losing everything.
On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Britt Reid—Super Bowl-winning coach, son of Andy Reid, and now an inspiring speaker dedicated to helping others overcome life's hardest moments. Britt's journey is one of remarkable highs and deeply challenging lows.

But behind the scenes, he battled addiction that ultimately led to a tragic accident, prison time, and the loss of his coaching career.
