Most conversations in iGaming are about products, regulation, or growth.

This one went somewhere completely different.In episode 62 of iGaming Real Talk, Surya Palli caught up with Alexandre Tomic, Founder of Alea, for one of the most unconventional conversations we've ever recorded.

Alexandre shares why he's fascinated by consciousness research, the science behind psychedelics, how studies at Imperial College are changing the way we understand the brain, and why he believes luck is much deeper than most people think.

This isn't a conversation about products or company updates.It's about curiosity, philosophy, science, and asking questions that most people avoid.
