Gambling, Family, & Never Giving Up on Your Kids with Scott Dantonio
My guest is my brother, Scott, or as he is listed in my phone — Chico D. This is Scott’s 2nd appearance on the podcast. His first followed the tragic accident that occurred just before he got home from work one evening.
He noticed a kid laying in the street and immediately rushed over to see what had happened. A 5-year old boy was laying in the street after having been hit by a car. Scott immediately began CPR and saved the 5-year old boy’s life. Incredible.
This podcast is more relaxed. My brother and I met halfway between where we were living at the time, Baton Rouge & Houston, respectively, to play poker at the Golden Nugget.
Scott has been very successful in his career as a Director of Pharmacy. Not to mention the success he’s had as a family man married 21 years. He, and high school sweetheart-turned-wife, Toni, have three kids: Luke, Noah & Ella.
Please enjoy our chat.
