About Tom: Tom is a social entrepreneur building a conscious alternative to existing sports betting apps. Tom didn’t just struggle with addiction… he helped build the very industry that fuels it. From creating early sports gaming products to raising millions of dollars and chasing success, his journey shows how deeply embedded the profit motive is inside the gambling ecosystem—and what that does to the people inside it. What started as ambition turned into pressure. Pressure turned into coping. And coping turned into addiction. In this episode, we break down how the gambling industry is designed, why “maximizing shareholder value” drives everything, and how that leads to real human consequences. Patrick opens up about alcoholism, hitting rock bottom, and the moment everything collapsed. But this isn’t just a story about addiction. It’s about awareness, accountability, and what happens when someone on the inside wakes up. If you’ve ever wondered why gambling feels so hard to escape… this conversation explains it. If this message resonates with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And if you haven’t already, subscribe to help spread awareness that gambling addiction is real—but recovery is possible.
