14. "I took nearly $2 Million of my clients money...And gambled it" | Worldwide: With Ed

Ben has been traveling the world again (From the comfort of our virtual studio!) and welcomes Ed to the show. Ed was born in the UK but in an attempt to escape his gambling habit, left for the warmer climes of Australia where everybody “Wants to keep fit and live healthy lifestyles” - What he found though was an even more challenging environment for someone trying to curb their addiction. Pubs filled with Pokeys and access to millions of clients dollars led Ed down a treacherous path which ended up with him experiencing first hand, Australia's Criminal Justice System

Ed openly shares his experience of the gambling culture and the prison system of Australia while Ben & Steve react and discuss throughout
