"Gambling put me in prison but I haven't had a bet in 9 years!" School of Rock Bottom 48: Gab Stone
Gab Stone is an entrepreneur and talent agent whose skyrocketing career managing Olympic athletes came crashing down in one of the UK’s most infamous gambling stories. Gab takes us behind the scenes of his high-pressure life during the London 2012 Olympics, where he managed 22 athletes, 13 of whom medaled, while privately battling a gambling addiction that eventually led to financial ruin and prison. Now, nearly ten years into recovery, Gab opens up about rebuilding his life, finding purpose, and the urgent need for better awareness around gambling addiction. He speaks with brutal honesty about the shame, the relapses, and the surprising parallels between gambling and substance addiction. This isn’t just a story about gambling—it’s about the human condition, resilience, and finding purpose and self worth after addiction. Tune in for a powerful conversation that challenges perceptions, inspires hope, and sheds light on an often-hidden crisis. Podcasting is an expensive passion. To help me keep going, I'd really appreciate it if you could buy me a coffee, thank you! https://buymeacoffee.com/olivermason1 Or via PayPal - https://bit.ly/3kSucAs Topics - 0:00 Intro 3:15 Gab's rock bottom 5:50 Why gambling is like drugs & alcohol 8:20 How the behaviour of a gambling addiction mirrors substances 19:20 The neuroscience of gambling addiction 26:30 Poor mental health prior to addiction? 29:00 Using dreams 31:00 Powerless over gambling? 33:20 Withdrawal from gambling? 37:00 Gab's consequences and prison sentence 47:45 Celebrating recovery For further support Gab recommends the following - National Problem Gambling Clinic - https://www.cnwl.nhs.uk/services/addictions/national-gambling-clinic GamCare - https://www.gamcare.org.uk Follow Gab Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/gabstone9 Follow Oliver Instagram - https://bit.ly/3IemHLY Facebook - http://bit.ly/3w8S1Gx TikTok - https://bit.ly/3YGLsYm LinkedIn - http://bit.ly/3kp4ymC Threads - https://bit.ly/3svw7yL X - http://bit.ly/3GQYj2l Please subscribe, follow, like, leave a review and comment!
