“Manhood is Hard to Attain, Easy to Lose”: Luke Bateman on the $1M Rock Bottom and Finding His Way Out

This week’s guest is perhaps the most perfectly fitted to a show about ‘eras’ ever. From the high-pressure stadium lights of the NRL to the rose ceremonies of The Bachelor, to Book-Toker, podcaster and most recently, a top-three finish in the jungle, Luke Bateman has lived many lives. But beneath the "Alpha" athlete exterior, Luke was a boy who hid his love for fantasy novels in locker room toilets and a man who fought a debilitating, million-dollar gambling addiction. Luke shares how he overcame all of that and the path he’s now on. _____________________________________________________________________________ His socialsINSTA instagram.com/lukebateman_/TIKTOK tiktok.com/@lukesreadsPODCAST In The Good Books My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
