Molly Bloom biography
Motivational speaker Molly Bloom is an exceptional entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and author of the bestseller Molly’s Game. Her memoir, which was adapted into a film directed by Aaron Sorkin, describes her coming-of-age story, from college to waitressing to owning the world’s largest private poker game. Molly’s games featured players like Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, and A-Rod.
At the beginning of her professional career, speaker Molly Bloom was a world-class skier. However, she had to pause her athletic career due to scoliosis, which required surgery. After recovering, she joined the United States Ski Team and, at 21, ranked No. 3 in North America in moguls. However, her Olympic dreams ended when she decided to leave the team to explore other opportunities, leading her to take a year off in Los Angeles.
During Bloom’s senior year at the University of Colorado, an assistant position transformed her into an entrepreneur. She became the owner of one of the most unique underground poker games worldwide, earning upwards of $4 million a year. This marked the beginning of her true story, which later led to legal challenges and significant personal transformation.
Aaron Sorkin’s film adaptation of Molly’s Game features Jessica Chastain, Kevin Costner, Idris Elba, Brian d’Arcy James, Michael Cera, and Chris O’Dowd. Molly Bloom has appeared on various television shows and media outlets, including Vice, Ellen, The Los Angeles Times, Vulture, and NPR. She has also spoken at prestigious events like Fortune’s Most Powerful Women and for major companies such as SiriusXM Radio and Blackrock Financial.
Currently, Molly focuses on empowering and coaching other women, drawing inspiration from the incredible and vibrant mentors who guided her. In 2020, she established the One World Group to assist women facing various issues, particularly those exacerbated by the global pandemic.
