SHAM GILLANI

Candid, unfiltered and deeply human. Sham Gillani shares what it really takes to break a destructive cycle and rebuild a life around connection.

Who is Sham Gillani?

Sham Gillani is a speaker whose talk, Behind the Mask: Addiction, Relapse and Rebuilding a Life of Connection, tells the full, unvarnished story of his 25-year battle with compulsive gambling. It's an honest look at hitting rock bottom and completely rebuilding a life from scratch.

What is the talk Behind the Mask about?

With nothing off-limits, Sham talks about the reality of living a double life, the painful cycles of relapse and the practical mindset shifts it takes to stay stopped long-term.

It goes far beyond stopping an addiction. Sham explores the daily work of maintaining real happiness, finding genuine purpose and why supporting others through their own struggles matters so much.

Expect a deeply human exploration of accountability and resilience, and a strong case that community and authentic connection are the way forward. Come as you are and listen with an open heart.
