Sports Business Radio Podcast (Brian Berger)

PODCAST: We enter the Sports Business Radio Vault to look back on conversations with Ian Happ (@ihapp_1), Chicago Cubs All-Star and Gold Glove outfielder, Co-Host of The Compound podcast (@thecompoundpod), entrepreneur and mental health advocate and Gracie Gold (@GracieGold95 on IG), Two-time U.S. National Champion and Olympic Figure Skater. Happ discusses his experiences with the Cubs, his process when it comes to Co-Hosting The Compound podcast, what he looks for in a business partner and he speaks out on the importance of mental health and why that topic is a personal one for him. Gold discusses the mental and emotional toll the pressure that being an elite athlete has had on her, spending her entire life focused on a 4-minute performance on the ice at the Olympics and at the U.S. Figure Skating National championships and the lack of mental health and post Olympic career resources that are available to Olympic athletes. Driven by passion, but broken by pursuit, Gold has battled depression and she opens up about her struggles during this candid interview. Gold also offers solutions for how mental health issues for athletes can be treated in the future.  LISTEN to Sports Business Radio on Apple podcasts or Spotify podcasts.

Molly Bloom (@ImMollyBloom), Author, Podcaster, Entrepreneur and subject of the book and movie “Molly’s Game” joins Sports Business Radio to share her incredible story and discuss her latest projects. Molly Bloom, a world-class skier who comes from a very accomplished family, was severely injured during a qualifying event for the Winter Olympics and her skiing career ended. Instead of following her original plan to attend law school, Bloom moved to Los Angeles where she would eventually run card games for movie stars, investment bankers, pro athletes and wealthy individuals. Buy in for these games started at $250K and players would win or lose $100M. Bloom was targeted by the Italian mob and eventually arrested by 17 FBI agents. Molly tells Sports Business Radio how she rebuilt her life after losing everything but her freedom, how she has battled drug and alcohol addiction and how she learned how to be an entrepreneur who never settled for rejection. She turned her remarkable story into an asset which was made into a movie, “Molly’s Game”, by award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (and stars Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba and Kevin Costner). Bloom shares the story with us about the struggle to find a studio and screenwriter/director for “Molly’s Game" before Sorkin signed on.
