  "I have what most people don't have....... ENOUGH.  The ability to find joy in small moments."  I needed to hear these quotes.

  This woman lived more in her first 30 years than most of us live in a lifetime. I am learning so much from this interview, its insane.

  Man, I wish I had never found this channel. Everything is so perfectly scripted, and the questions are brilliantly asked. Also, the fact that Steven has a bond with every guest is just another masterpiece. I can't properly listen to other podcasts after discovering DOAC.

  This great interview is in a huge part due to the interviewer’s skill. He, unlike others, lets his guest take center stage and allows her to talk. So many hosts feel the need to speak rather than listen.

  The actor that took over her business in LA was Tobey Maguire he was an A - List actor at the time coming off Spider Man with all the right friends/connections, Tobey Maguire “allegedly” a mean gambling addict, once offered Molly a $1,000 tip to bark like a seal that wants a fish and then stormed off when she refused. Tobey was in part played as "Player X" in the Molly's Game movie. Tobey resented the fact that Molly was in control and making too much money.

  “I don’t feel inherently worthy but that i have to achieve something worldly…” Damn she sounded beautiful to me expressing such vulnerable honesty

  This lady has given me so much strength. The amount of resilience despite the amount of down moments in her life and her ability to push through. Persistence is key, believe in yourself. Wonderful.

  After she mentioned her one brother, a heart surgeon, and the other, a professional athlete, "Here I am, a family felon ...."   was the best line.

  This was a captivating conversation. From beginning to end. I sat here listening, and I was saying to myself, sh*t, this is like a movie." Many life lessons to be learned from Molly's story.

  Fascinating interview, incredibly intelligent woman. I love how you keep your questions short, and to the point and just let them talk and don't interrupt. I wish you had gone into her pivotal relationships with her mum and dad a bit more, especially the dad relationship now. He's a clinical psychologist. That's next level interesting.

  It is so rare to find someone caught up in the world of crime, addiction and violence, to gain insight and change their lives around. Well done Molly. It is my belief that psycho-social knowledge, skills and practices are the most important things we need to be teaching children, ourselves and others. I must say that I had some illusion that most people who are wealthy would not be involved in gambling - maybe because I thought that once you have 'enough' (as you referred to) you would not be drawn to risk losing one's wealth. I am glad that you broke that illusion for me. That gambling (read power, adrenaline and money addiction) knows no racial, cultural, religious or economic boundaries.
