The Spark 019: The Unsinkable Molly Bloom
Molly Bloom is an exceptional woman who grew up in an extrordinary family in Loveland, Colorado. Her parents both had successful professional careers; one of her brothers is a two-time Olympian and entrpreneur while the other is a surgeon. Molly, however, took a different path...
In 1999, Molly was ranked third in the world in freestyle skiing. Chronic neck and back pain caused her to retire early from the sport, and just a few short years later, she was running the most opulent poker games in the world, with movie stars and athletes as players where it wasn't uncommon for hands to go into the millions of dollars.
A federal indictment ended Molly's career as a game runner, and she was facing ten years in prison. Molly would tell her story from Olympic hopeful to poker impresario in a memoir, Molly's Game, which was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated film of the same name, starring Jessica Chastain as Molly.
