INTERVIEW: Losing $300k before you're 30
Dylan's gambling started at school, and it just got worse from there.
To fuel his bets, he reckons he started borrowing money from friends, but as the addiction spiralled out of control he resorted to stealing.
Gambling cost Dylan a lot, in terms of both money and opportunities.
Now, he's trying to quit, and he's documenting the journey on TikTok and Instagram.
In this longer interview cut for the hack podcast, Dylan talks with Dave about the road that got him here.
He describes the clarifying moment when he placed his last bet, the daily battle to keep going in a world where gambling ads are everywhere, and what it's like to do it all so publicly.
