#71 Maria Konnikova: A Poker Journey Unlike Any Other

Today’s guest on the podcast is the best-selling author of the runaway hit “The Biggest Bluff”, Maria Konnikova.

Maria has a journey through poker that I can pretty much guarantee is unlike anybody else’s in the world.

She heeds a call to adventure, enlists the help of a mysterious mentor, deals with the various challenges and pitfalls of learning the game of poker, experiences failure and pain, and is ultimately transformed in the process.

If you have not checked out “The Biggest Bluff” yet, do yourself a favor and grab it as soon as you possibly can. I promise you will not be disappointed.

As you know I have a slight obsession with hearing the backstories of amazing folks in the world of poker and Maria’s may be the most captivating one of them all.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

- How she managed to convince none other than Erik Seidel, who had never before taken on a poker student, to be her mentor.

- The amount of effort it REALLY takes to write an amazing book proposal.

- The one thing she wasn’t allowed to talk to Erik about.

- And much, MUCH more.

So, without any further ado, I bring to you world-renowned psychologist, speaker, best-selling author, and professional poker player Maria Konnikova.
