I am not a motivational speaker

I am the case study. I lost twelve years and more than $10 million to gambling, and I talk about it in rooms full of the people most likely to repeat it.

Who I speak to

Five rooms, one message

Every version is built on the same argument: this is a disease, not a character flaw, and the product is designed to find you.

  1. 01Schools and universitiesStudents are exactly who the sportsbooks are built to reach. I talk to them the way I wish somebody had talked to me at eighteen. No slide deck, no moralising.
  2. 02Athletic departments and teamsAthletes sit at the centre of betting culture and carry the most risk from it. I cover what actually happens when a player, a coach or a staff member gets in.
  3. 03Companies and executivesGambling is the addiction that shows up at work with no symptoms until the money is gone. For leadership, HR and EAP teams who want to know what to look for.
  4. 04Treatment providers and cliniciansThe lived-experience side of what you treat, including why gambling patients present differently and what makes them walk out.
  5. 05Policy, conferences and mediaI speak publicly about industry funding, treatment coverage and regulation through The Gambling Truth Project, and I take press and panel requests.

Talks

The three I give most

Each one gets adapted to the room. Tell me who is in it and I will tell you which of these fits.

  1. The addiction with no symptoms

    Why gambling gets missed by families, doctors and employers until the moment it is catastrophic, and the signs that are actually visible before then.

  2. What $10 million actually costs

    My own account, told straight. Twelve years, the lies that made it possible, and the night in December 2024 that ended it.

  3. Responsible gambling is a marketing term

    How the industry funds its own critics, why the language puts blame on the player, and what real prevention would look like.

Tell me the audience, the date and the room, and I will give you a straight answer on availability and fee.
