When does collecting stop being something you enjoy and start becoming something you feel compelled to do?
I recently joined Ian Taylor, Josh, and Keith on That Card Collectors Podcast for an incredibly open and personal conversation about compulsive collecting, gambling addiction, overspending, and the psychology behind today's hobby.
We explored everything from digital ripping, live breaks, FOMO, and the dopamine economy to financial boundaries, industry responsibility, and what intentional collecting actually looks like.
What made this conversation especially meaningful was the willingness of everyone involved to share their own experiences with spending, debt, and the challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship with collecting.
These are exactly the conversations we need to be having more often.
Huge thanks to Ian, Josh, and Keith for welcoming me and helping bring greater awareness to the work we're doing at Collectors MD!
