Molly started her career as an athlete and then went on to become an operator of a high-stakes poker game frequented by some of the most powerful celebrities, athletes, Wall Street titans and CEOs, in the world. While running the games, she ran into trouble with the Russian mafia, lost all her money and almost went to prison. Despite that, she always kept her spirits up while maintaining an entrepreneurial mindset. At 35, she was a convicted felon and broke but she believed her story was her monetizable asset. She pitched her story to Aaron Sorkin who agreed to write it, and the movie received an Oscar nomination. She is now a highly sought-after speaker and is working on her own startup. In this interview, we talk about the community Molly started during COVID-19 through which we met.
