Molly Bloom has lived multiple lives. She was a near-Olympic skier whose career was cut short by injury; a law school hopeful who found herself orchestrating the most exclusive, high-stakes poker games in the world; and a convicted felon whose life was turned into an Aaron Sorkin film. But beyond the headlines and movie glamour—is a woman who built and lost an empire, then built herself anew.
At 24, Molly Bloom was running an underground poker network that attracted Hollywood’s elite, Wall Street titans, and international power players. Beyond the game, she was crafting an experience, mastering psychology, hospitality, and high finance all at once. In fact, her ability to navigate high-stakes negotiations and build trust among the world’s most influential figures is what set Bloom apart.
But it all came crashing down when Molly Bloom got raided by the FBI, indicted in a money-laundering case, and faced years in prison. She was forced to confront the choices that brought her there and what followed wasn’t just survival; it was a masterclass in reinvention. Bloom emerged as an entrepreneur and motivational speaker, using her experience to empower others. She also chronicled her rise and fall in her bestselling memoir Molly’s Game, which became the basis for the Oscar-nominated film starring Jessica Chastain.
Molly Bloom is the founder of the One World Group, an initiative that helps women in business develop their networks and leadership skills, demonstrating her commitment to ethical success and resilience. As a speaker, Bloom unpacks the human psychology behind ambition. What makes people take risks? How do we recover from failure? With sharp wit and hard-won wisdom, she explores resilience, ethical leadership, and the power of adaptation in a rapidly changing world.
Bloom knows what it means to win big and lose everything but more importantly, she knows how to come back stronger. She offers a raw and deeply insightful journey into power, redemption, and the courage to rewrite your own narrative.
