24. 'When I was arrested, the Officer sat me down and said...You've got a problem' | Martin's Story

On this episode, Steve sits down for an open and honest chat with Martin. Martin tells us how his childhood led him to gambling and what started as fruit machines by the sea soon became spending a full day, on one machine, in a bookmaker

Martin also shares how his prison experience changed him, made him better understand himself and taught him to make the best of every situation through embracing the present
