Summary

Melissa sits down with Molly Bloom, the extraordinary woman behind Molly’s Game, who ran the world's most well known poker game. From her unexpected transition from competitive skiing to bartending at the iconic Viper Room in Los Angeles, Molly's entrepreneurial spirit led her to orchestrate high-stakes poker tournaments attended by the elite of society. However, her world came crashing down in 2013 when she became entangled in a $100 million money laundering and illegal sports gambling scandal. As fascinating as Molly’s story is, what is more amazing is her recovery from such a devastating failure. In this episode, Molly explains how she picked herself up and discusses the importance of courage, character, and integrity.
