Gambling is the silent addiction. This is the classic tale of a young man with the biggest of ambitions getting everything he ever wanted but feeling like he doesn't deserve to be there when he makes it, how gambling came to rule his life and how he clawed his way back to the top after some real dark times. Imposter? James always was the real deal - he just didn't know it but he does now and Nothing Is Imposterble for this Hero. We were blown away with the similarities between gambling and booze addiction and the wisdom, oof the wisdom,  is hard hitting and profound. Whether you're on the booze, the gear or the tables - get your ears into this.

Get a seat with a comfortable edge to sit on. Right off the bat you know this is going to be epic. Think you're not wired this way and addiction will just go away after time? Graham blew this theory out of the water with an accidental experiment. Incredible.

We talk very frankly with local Hero, Matt from Rebel City Podcast about the many battles in his personal war against mental illness and addiction. Recovery is not a straight line and there is no one size fits all solution and we get into this in a big way. Addiction is also a symptom of what's going on inside and Matt gets right into this subject with candour and how he got himself out of a very dark hole indeed. Brutal honesty from an absolute hero. Also, Megara will read ANYTHING that's put in front of her. There's room here for pranks.
