Saul Malik's real college education had nothing to do with his major. A fantasy league at eleven years old turned into bookies and $25,000 in debt by twenty-one. Now in long-term recovery, he's sharing his story by traveling the country and warning young people before they're in too deep.

Gambling got its hooks into Adam Lyons early. At nine years old, his uncle taught him how to play craps, and something clicked that never really switched off. By the time the poker boom hit, Adam had dropped out of college and was dealing cards in poker rooms from Connecticut to Las Vegas. He was good at the job, great with people, and one of the most charismatic guys in the room. What nobody knew was that the same man running the game was quietly losing everything on the other side of the table.

Adam placed his last bet in 2022, and today he hosts the Modern Meeting podcast and talks to other people with gambling disorder about their journeys out of the depths of addiction.

Listen in on a fascinating conversation as Adam shares his story.
