Episode 21 - Patch Foster, how one bet led to a gambling addiction with the ultimate cost Evolve Pod

    • Health & Fitness

Episode 21 brings a very open and insightful chat into addiction, in particular gambling. I talk with Patrick (patch) Foster about how he fell into gambling after losing his pro cricket contract. Is it a coincidence that the addict inside of him grabbed this opportunity when Patch was at his most vulnerable? Patch's addiction drove him to some very dark places and at its worst, suicide was the only option.

Patch now works in the gambling awareness realm working alongside the industry giants and young professional sports people and schools to educate and raise awareness on all things addiction.

A very powerful story shared by Patch that we can all learn from.

Listen, learn and grow.
