The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman Built Through Adversity | How Fowler, Hughes & Pronger Stay Mentally Unbreakable
In this special episode of The Burn Podcast, we bring YOU three powerful conversations from champions who’ve thrived at the highest levels of professional sports—and continue to lead with impact beyond the game.
We start with Bennie Fowler, Super Bowl Champion and the last player ever to catch a pass from Peyton Manning. Bennie shares unforgettable stories from playing with both Peyton and Eli Manning—and offers a powerful reminder about the company YOU keep. He talks about how being surrounded by the right people, including his close friend Draymond Green, helps keep him locked in on greatness. Their 10-person group chat is built on healthy competition—who’s working out, who’s striving for more—and that daily accountability fuels their motivation to keep growing.
Next, we sit down with Larry Hughes, 14-year NBA veteran, St. Louis legend, and lifelong friend. Larry’s story is rooted in purpose—his devotion to family, his relentless work ethic, and his mission to give back to the community that raised him. This conversation is a mix of joy, resilience, and deep gratitude.
Finally, Chris Pronger joins us from his home for an unforgettable discussion. NHL Hall of Famer. Olympic gold medalist. Stanley Cup Champion. But his story goes far beyond the accolades. Chris opens up about the battles behind the scenes—injuries, sacrifice, and the mental toughness it took to sustain greatness over an 18-year NHL career.
This episode is packed with raw stories, world-class mindset, and actionable takeaways to help YOU dominate in YOUR life and business.
