The Besties podcast presents an interview with Molly Bloom, the woman behind the high-stakes poker games in LA and New York, famously depicted in the movie "Molly's Game." The conversation covers the origins of her games, including celebrity involvement and high buy-ins, and touches on the circumstances that led to her losing the LA game and moving to New York. Molly details the darker aspects of running the games, such as dealing with the mob, facing federal charges for taking a rake, and the decision to write her tell-all book. She also shares insights into salesmanship, building trust, and the psychology of the high-stakes players, as well as her approach to facing fear and uncertainty, and the importance of integrity and empathy in business and life.
