Molly Bloom, a young Olympic-class skier from Loveland, ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before becoming an FBI target. Her players included Hollywood celebrities, sports stars, business titans, and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob.
- What would you do if one morning everything you worked for vanished before your eyes?
- What if you realized that the path you chose was not good for your soul?
- What if the choice before you meant compromising your values or starting over from scratch, with nothing?
- What if you could start all over again and do something that matters?
Join us on October 3rd and hear Molly’s powerful story of success, power, despair, loss, and reinvention.

“I was forced to face myself. To lose everything. To fall on my face in front of the world, and the lessons I learned on the way up were just as valuable as the ones on the way down. I know that this time, I will use everything I have learned to do something that matters.” ~Molly Bloom

CTLF THOUGHT LEADERSHIP AWARD
At last years Colorado Companies To Watch Gala, The Colorado Thought Leaders Forum was proud to recognize Joshua Hunt, CEO of Trelora, as the first-ever recipient of the CTLF Thought Leadership Award.
This year we awarded the first ever HEART-Level Leadership award to Ed Schenkein of SingerLewak.
What Our Members Are Saying
I have a passion for business and greatly value generous leadership and community. Strategic Connections (SC) has it all. Being a member of SC helps me build my business acumen, grow as a leader and gives me a community of like-minded leaders.
CTLF gives me a competitive advantage. In addition to innovative ideas and learning that I can put into action rapidly, I greatly benefit from a community that is committed to success – their own, mine and our state’s.
“I joined Strategic Connections on the recommendation of a friend and client. He thought so highly of the organization that he told me he’d repay me for the cost of the membership if I hadn’t seen value in a year. Well, he was right. Not only has the business connectivity been far beyond any other organization I have belonged to, the personal growth and personal connection among the groups has blown my mind. The purposeful giving and servant leadership that is the core of the organization creates a dynamic environment in which to thrive. I now invite other leaders as guests and if they want to join, I make the same offer to them that was made to me. That’s how strongly I feel about Strategic Connections.”

Colorado Thought Leaders Forum supports the The Big idea Project®. Schools and educators make a real difference in helping students learn about generous leadership. Students identify a need in society they would like to do something about, work together with a business mentor to design their action plan and then make their Big Idea come to life.
