An Epidemic Hiding In Plain Sight: Let’s Talk About Gambling with Expert Brian Dolan
Roughly 68 million people bet on Super Bowl LVIII this year, amounting to more than $23 billion. In 2023, the American gambling industry generated more than $65 billion in revenue. These numbers surpass the economies of many small countries.
In the United States, gambling – particularly sports betting – is here to stay and it is EVERYWHERE.
In this week’s episode, I brought in an expert with his own gambling war chest to discuss this social-cultural explosion. Brian Dolan is an Addiction Specialist and an advocate for recovery. He’s an impassioned individual with personal triumphs over gambling and substance use disorders. With a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health and 6 years of experience managing Collegiate Recovery Programs, Brian is tapped into gambling’s mainstream rise, particularly among our youth, in a way most aren’t. We discuss the pitfalls of gambling, how to identify a gambling problem, the risk on our youth, the complicity of policy makers and Big Business players ready to cash in, and the reality that gambling, once relegated to the underbelly of American society, is a cash cow of social problems one click away.
I hope you enjoy this discussion about a critical issue whose darker side demands more attention in our national dialogue.
Thank You and Keep Going.
