## Resource

Today we head into the bright lights and deeper truths of Las Vegas with author Brian Rouff—a writer who has spent decades exploring the thin line between luck and consequence, chance and choice. From cult classic novels like Dice Angel to his powerful memoir A Long September, Brian takes us behind the scenes of a city built on probability, and reveals the very human stories that live underneath it all. This is a conversation about storytelling, survival, and what happens when life doesn’t follow the odds. This episode pairs well with episode 424 where Addie takes us solo through a book suggested by Brian. Find out more about Brian at: https://brianrouff.com/
