Episode 113: On a Mission to Raise Problem Gambling Awareness (featuring Dave Yeager)

To many individuals, the mission of bringing awareness to problem gambling does not have a start and end date.  For those people, it is a never ending campaign to speak up and shine a light in an area that is often left in the shadows.  Dave Yeager, an Army veteran and someone who identifies as being in recovery from gambling addiction makes it a part of his work to keep challenging the status quo and break down barriers to providing much needed education, screening, and treatment.  Author of Fall In: A Veteran with a Gambling Addiction, Dave talks about his story and how it drives me to make this work a part of his life mission.
