A Gambling Harm Prevention Podcast brought to you by our Partners<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can watch the room change from that lived experience approach,\u201d says Marc Williams, a programme facilitator at gambling harm minimization consultancy EPIC Risk Management.<\/h6>\n

Marc, a former professional footballer who suffered the consequences of gambling harm, will speak to athletes and teams with a view to educating and informing them about the pitfalls and trigger associated with gambling harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can see what we\u2019ve been through, where gambling took us, and from that they can really relate to it themselves and think \u2018wow, this could be me\u2019,\u201d he tells John Portch on the Leaders Performance Podcast.<\/p>\n

Marc is joined by Rachael Jankowsky, the Head of Player Care & Well-Being at Major League Soccer\u2019s Chicago Fire, to discuss EPIC\u2019s work with the club, which included Marc presenting in front of young players.<\/p>\n

On today\u2019s special episode, we discuss topics including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The beginnings of the Fire and EPIC\u2019s collaboration [6:30];<\/li>\n
  • The difference between \u2018textbook\u2019 education and an in-person presentation [10:00];<\/li>\n
  • Marc and EPIC\u2019s post-session support services [15:30];<\/li>\n
  • Overcoming the challenges of low base knowledge and the language barrier [18:30].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
