Inspiration that Activates with Poker Maven Molly Bloom

Top booked inspirational speaker Molly Bloom has one of the most storied careers of any of the folks on our roster. Her tale of risk, reward, and redemption seems like something out of a movie; it’s no surprise that the 2017 film adaptation of her bestselling book, Molly’s Game, was an Oscar-nominated hit. 

 

A professional skier in her youth that hailed from a family of high-achieving athletes, at age 21 Bloom was a world-class competitor on her way to the Olympics, but a few years later found her on a gap year working as a waitress and personal assistant, having been forced into early retirement by a devastating injury.

 

When one of her bosses introduced her to the world of private poker games for high-rolling clients, Molly knew she had found a potential niche. Learning all she could about the ins and outs of catering to exclusive clientele, she soon forged out on her own, starting a private poker empire that saw six years of wild success, with games with stakes exceeding $100 million and hosting players like Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio. 

 

Molly was on top of the world when an FBI raid changed everything. Forced to once more start from scratch, she turned to writing, and then speaking, to share her story. Her combination of grit, integrity, and natural charisma have seen her become one of our most highly requested and lauded speakers, praised for delivering goosebump experiences and inspiration that drives action.
