Episode notes

In this episode, I sit down with Reeve L., whose story didn’t start with gambling, but with growing up in it.

He watched it tear his family apart and swore he would never become that person.

But years later, during a battle with cancer, gambling became his escape… and slowly turned into the very thing he once feared.

What followed was years of silence, isolation, and losing himself completely, until September 15, 2024, when after losing everything, he finally surrendered.

This is a conversation about what gambling really takes… and what it means to finally let go.
