From Olympic Hopeful to High Stakes Entrepreneur

Molly Bloom began her career as a world class skier, overcoming a severe scoliosis diagnosis and spinal fusion surgery to return to competition within a year. She went on to join the U.S. Ski Team and was ranked third in North America in moguls before a career ending crash during Olympic qualifying.

After stepping away from competitive skiing, Bloom moved to Los Angeles, where she worked as a waitress and assistant before launching her own high stakes poker operation. Over six years, she built a multi million dollar business hosting exclusive games attended by high profile players, all while teaching herself the business and managing complex relationships.

Reinvention, Integrity, and Global Impact

Following legal challenges that ended her poker career, Bloom chose to rebuild her life through writing. Her memoir, Molly’s Game, became a bestseller and was adapted into an Oscar nominated film. She maintained her commitment to integrity throughout the process, refusing to compromise her values even when faced with significant pressure.
