The Technician Podcast
My name is Travis Cochran and I am 'The Technician' with the help of my guests we will provide tools, tips & tactics for you to REWIRE MIND, BODY & SOUL to cultivate a life you love..
My mission is simple..
To help people never experience what I did as a young man which was suicidal ideation, loss of identity and purpose, massive lack of self love, self sabotage, anxiety and more
I was offered a contract to the Brisbane Broncos at the age of 17 and turned it down.. having fallen out of love with it due to my mental health issues..
This took me on a journey of brutal self discovery over the course of 13 years which has now lead me to being one of the top 100 education podcasts in Australia, a thriving mentoring business that has helped hundreds of people now through in person events, online coaching, an in demand public speaker and so much more
I just want others to create a life they want to live.. because I for so long had a life that I didn't want to be here for.. and I don't want others to experience what I did!
