The 1% in Recovery Successful Gamblers & Alcoholics Stopping Addiction
Text and Be HeardGambling doesn't just take your money; it steals your attention, your calm, and your time. We explore how the “it's just entertainment” narrative is crafted by an industry that plays the long game while your brain chases short-term highs. Our guest on the Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast with John Lee Dumas, is recovery educator Hugo, and he explains what actually happens neurologically during a bet, why even a $5 wager spikes anxiety, and how the rush mirrors stimulant patterns on brain maps. We look at why gambling feels “productive” compared to other vices, and how that illusion keeps people locked in and losing money.From slot machine payout math to sportsbook design, we unpack the mechanics that ensure that the house wins. Hugo connects the dots between flashy Vegas spectacles, live betting on your phone, and subtle marketing that targets younger audiences through colors, sounds, and constant odds talk during broadcasts. With State endorsements normalizing sports betting and fantasy leagues blurring lines, it's no accident teens and families are surrounded by wagering cues. The result is a drip-feed that trains the subconscious and erodes daily focus.We turn from diagnosis to solutions with clear, practical steps. Hugo outlines how to spot early warning signs—compulsive score checking, secrecy, emotional distance—and then lays out accessible recovery moves that rebuild healthy neurochemistry. Replace the artificial spike with free dopamine from small goals, serotonin from sun, gratitude or meditation, endorphins from movement, exercise or laughter, and oxytocin from hugs, petting dogs and real connection. Add structure with therapy, peer support, and environmental safeguards, and you'll feel productivity return as a side effect of a richer life. If the story you've heard is that gambling makes games more exciting, this conversation offers a better one: your presence, your relationships, and your health are the real win.If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.

In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Smith who is a functional medicine dietitian, gut-health expert, and founder of Lisa Smith Wellness. We explore the realities of deep stress and the health impacts that so many accounting firm owners quietly carry. We start by talking about the concept of “deep stress,” how it differs from everyday overwhelm, and why professionals who juggle multiple roles often don't realize their bodies are stuck in long-term survival mode. Lisa breaks down the signs many CPAs ignore: waking up tired, constant tension, reliance on caffeine or wine, disrupted sleep, brain fog, and that ever-present feeling of being “on.”Timestamps:03:55: Introducing the concept of deep stress05:58: How stress impacts sleep and cortisol07:57: What entrepreneurs consistently overlook in wellness10:50: Habit change and understanding personal motivators12:52: Redesigning your life and business through intentionality16:34: Long-term health implications of unmanaged stress18:59: Feeling trapped in your business and how to begin unwinding it23:05: Reducing stress and improving clarity24:26: Price's Law, the Pareto Principle, and understanding real productivity29:14: Pre-tax-season tips for improving energy and well-being30:46: The “campfire method” for stabilizing daily energy34:29: Lisa's book recommendations for leaders and entrepreneursLisa's Resource Recommendations:Prepare Your CPA Firm for A Sale by Brannon Poe [https://poegroupadvisors.com/prepare/]Atomic Habits by James Clear [https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299]The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson [https://www.amazon.com/Slight-Edge-Turning-Disciplines-Happiness/dp/1626340463]Who Not How by Dan Sullivan [https://www.amazon.com/Who-Not-How-Accelerating-Teamwork-ebook/dp/B0867ZJ151]Traction by Gino Wickman [https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661837]The Common Path to Uncommon Success by John Lee Dumas [https://www.amazon.com/Common-Path-Uncommon-Success-Fulfillment/dp/1400221099]Journaling Guide: [http://lisasmithwellness.com/the-morning-mindset-journal]Connecting with Lisa: Listen to my Pretty Well PODCAST https://apple.co/3Y2IbSZ Visit my Website https://lisasmithwellness.com Read my Wellness BLOG https://lisasmithwellness.com/blog/ Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/prettywell_podcast/ lisa.lsw@outlook.com Link to full listing: https://poegroupadvisors.com/practice/sc2038/ Firm Highlights:- Young, energetic owner committed to staying 10+ years to run and grow the firm.- Selling 70–100% equity, with plans to offer key employees an ownership stake.- 3+ CPAs on staff and over 20 employees.- High-net-worth clients with strong loyalty and consistent referrals.- 78% of services tied to business clients.
