What do you get when you cross a 7-year-old playing poker at his great-grandpa’s funeral, an 18-year-old getting sent to max security, and a man who once ran a dice game out of a garage before he could drive?

You get Episode 93: Brian Green.

Texas-born. Prison-scarred. Bracelet-wearing.

Brian sits down with Art Parmann and Justin Young to tell one of the wildest life arcs you’ll ever hear—how he went from hustling on the streets to final tabling the $1M One Drop and cracking kings to win a WSOP bracelet.

🧠 But this episode isn’t just about bad beats and big wins.
It’s about how a guy who once lost $174K in minutes now pushes gratitude, positivity, andself-awareness in a game full of ego.

👊 Spoiler: He’s still a total degen. But now? He’s a thoughtful one.
