Before there were gambling recovery podcasts, there was Brian Hatch. A decade after launching All In: The Addicted Gambler Podcast — the first of its kind — Brian is now Community Engagement Manager at the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling, running peer recovery groups inside a correctional facility and producing Connecticut's first gambling-specific recovery retreat. In this episode he walks through his return to sports card collecting after 10 years of casino recovery, makes the case that prediction markets and card breaks are gambling full stop, and shares the philosophy that keeps him going when the work gets heavy: focus on the person in front of you.

Evive Live is produced by Evive, a digital health platform dedicated to gambling behavior change. Views expressed by guests are their own.

Adam and Christina sit down with Dr. Tim Fong — Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA, Co-Director of the UCLA Gambling Studies Program, and Evive advisory board member — for one of the most clinically substantive conversations the show has had yet. 

Dr. Fong traces his path into addiction medicine, shares his own relationship with gambling, and unpacks the emerging treatments reshaping the field: psilocybin, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and TMS. He also addresses why shame around money makes gambling disorder uniquely hard to disclose, what providers are still getting wrong, and why recovery technology like Evive represents something genuinely different. Essential listening for anyone working at the intersection of behavioral health and gambling harm.

Adam and Christina sit down with Kim Freudenberg, a high school physics teacher, mother, and founder of Parents Standing Together, a nonprofit peer support community for parents of young people experiencing gambling harm.

Kim's son Kurt began gambling at age 11 — on video game skins, offshore casino sites, and everything in between — without his parents having any idea. What followed was more than a decade of escalation, two stints in residential treatment, an arrest, and ultimately, a hard-won recovery that Kim credits in part to the family doing their own work alongside him.
