I thought this was going to be a light human interest story without much financial advice.

Boy, I was wrong. Not only does it contain lots of info on poker, strategy, and finances, it has a bunch of solid stuff on general life advice. Choice quotes:

"One of the things I think is really important is “trust but verify.” Whenever something sounds exactly on point, exactly right, and you really want to believe it — that’s the moment when you need to verify the most. It runs very counter to human psychology. Here’s the thing: When it comes to you, nothing is too good to be true. It’s too good to be true for someone else. But you always think, “Oh, I deserve this. This is evidence of how smart I was in making this decision.” Poker forces you to let go of that very, very quickly. Because if you think that way you’re going to lose a lot of money."
