Most chefs wear burnout as a badge of honor. Scott Crawford wears balance and transparency. After years of struggling with addiction, Scott made a radical shift—not just in his own life, but in how he runs his restaurants. From zero-tolerance harassment policies to no-shift-drinks rules, Scott’s approach flips the industry’s toxic culture on its head. In this episode, we dig into how owning his story helped him attract the right people, why he’s embraced vulnerability in leadership, and the systems he’s built to protect his mental health—and his business. If you’re ready to rethink what success in this industry looks like, this is the episode for you.
