MOLLY BLOOM BIOGRAPHY

Molly Bloom is an inspirational keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of “Molly’s Game” (2014). Molly Bloom is best known for her memoir, which was adapted into an award-winning film by Aaron Sorkin. Her story chronicles her transformation from a college student and LA waitress into the architect of the largest and most notorious private poker game in the world. Her exclusive games attracted hundreds of millions of dollars and high-profile players such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, A-Rod, and Ben Affleck.

Her professional journey began in the world of athletics as a world-class skier. Despite being diagnosed with severe scoliosis at a young age, which required surgery that threatened to end her skiing career, Molly Bloom made a remarkable recovery and returned to the slopes. Molly Bloom later joined the U.S. Ski Team and by age 21, was ranked No. 3 in North America in moguls. Her Olympic aspirations were cut short when she left the team to explore new opportunities, leading her to what was intended to be a one-year sabbatical in Los Angeles.

While finishing her degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado – Boulder, her life took an unexpected turn. As Molly Bloom was preparing to apply to top-tier law schools, an assistant job in LA propelled her into the high-stakes world of underground poker. Molly Bloom became an accidental entrepreneur, running one of the most exclusive poker games globally, and generated as much as $4 million per year. This pivotal experience became the foundation for her compelling memoir and subsequent film adaptation.

The cinematic rendition of “Molly’s Game,” written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, features an impressive cast including Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Michael Cera, Brian d’Arcy James, and Chris O’Dowd. Her captivating story has earned her widespread media attention, with appearances on shows like Ellen and Vice, and coverage in The Los Angeles Times, NPR, and Vulture. Molly Bloom has delivered speeches at prestigious events, including Fortune’s Most Powerful Women summit, and for companies like Blackrock Financial and SiriusXM Radio. In 2018, Molly Bloom was honored to give the commencement speech at Colorado State University.

Her expertise extends beyond her entrepreneurial ventures into motivational speaking, where Molly Bloom shares insights on resilience, reinvention, and leadership. Her experiences have equipped her with unique skills in event planning, risk management, and public speaking. Recognized for her ability to design and deliver engaging presentations, Molly Bloom continues to inspire audiences worldwide with her extraordinary journey and insightful perspectives on overcoming adversity.

In addition to her professional achievements, Molly Bloom is passionate about personal growth and empowerment. Her hobbies include skiing, yoga, and spending time with family and friends. Her story is not only a testament to her tenacity and resilience but also a source of inspiration for those facing their own challenges, proving that with determination and courage, one can turn even the most daunting obstacles into opportunities for success.
