Podcast appearances and mentions of lyle berman

From getting kicked out of Wharton Business School for playing poker with his friends to revolutionizing the gaming industry by co-founding the World Poker Tour, Lyle Berman isn't one to let others dictate his future. That's probably what has made him an entrepreneur extraordinaire and beloved member of Sow Good's Board of Directors. We have learned so much from Lyle's mentorship over the years, so we thought we'd share a few of his many stories and "wit and wisdoms" with you! In the early 2000's, producers told Lyle it couldn't be done. Televising final round poker tournaments and showing viewers the players' cards? Impossible. Naturally, Lyle did it anyway and the WPT became a multi-million dollar sensation that still thrives decades later. Even if you know nothing about poker, Lyle's stories will show you how determination, creativity, and good old hard work can change your life, even if others doubt your dreams. Lyle has 3 World Series of Poker bracelets (meaning he's really good at poker), multiple inductions into the poker Hall of Fame, a book titled "I'm All In," and started the Rainforest Cafe chain. But despite all his accomplishments, to Lexie and Sow Good's founding family, Lyle is a reliable, humble, and generous uncle-like figure who has the best sweet potatoes and banana bread, fascinating petrified wood collection, and questionable views on ignoring expiration dates. Today's story is about not giving up, not forgetting where you came from, and chasing your dreams. Host: Lexie Gutierrez-Goldfarb Guest: Lyle Berman Watch the interview on Youtube here.

Doyle Brunson is widely regarded as the most legendary card player in poker history with a career that spans more than six decades. After a work accident ended his dream of playing in the NBA, the Longworth, Texas-native turned to poker. After years on the road with "Amarillo" Slim and "Sailor" Roberts, playing in dangerous, illegal games often set up by members of organize crime, Brunson finally settled down in Las Vegas. In the years since, Brunson won an incredible ten World Series of Poker bracelets, which is tied for second all-time with Johnny Chan and Phil Ivey, behind Phil Hellmuth's 15 wins. His run included back-to-back main event wins, in 1976 and '77, in which he famously won both events with 10-2. Despite recently turning 85, the Poker Hall of Fame member insists that he's operating at 95 percent, and is still a regular in the high-stakes games in Bobby's Room at Bellagio, where he has held court since it opened in 1998. Highlights from this interview include feeling your age, suffering through poker withdrawal, a trip to March Madness, the two royals he made against Bobby Baldwin, letting his wife get some sleep, the deadly nature of ace-to-five lowball, the mixed results of publishing Super/System, sucking out for the first seven-figure pot in Vegas history, losing out on a $230 million deal, Doyle's top five players, million-dollar weight loss prop bets with Chip Reese and Lyle Berman, and who will play him in the movie of his life.

Steve Zolotow has been gambling for the better part of six decades, and that's only a small part of what has been an extraordinarily eclectic life. Born into a famous family of writers that hobnobbed with the Hollywood elite, Zolotow dropped out of the Ivy Leagues to pursue a life of gambling, drugs, women, and even an acting career. It was gambling that led Zolotow to the Mayfair Club, which started as a bridge and backgammon space before becoming a secret poker club that produced legendary gamblers such as Erik Seidel, Jay Heimowitz, Mickey Appleman, Howard Lederer, Stu Ungar, Paul Magriel, and Dan Harrington. When he wasn't wagering up to $1 million a week with his sports betting operation, Zolotow was playing high-stakes poker with VIPs like Larry Flynt. Zolotow also has two World Series of Poker bracelets, having taken down a Chinese poker event in 1995 and a pot-limit hold'em event in 2001. Highlights from this interview include a family of famous writers, ignoring Marilyn Monroe to play with horses, sharing a bed with Elizabeth Taylor, getting acting compliments from Lee Strasberg, dropping acid and dropping out, getting beaten out of the army, a three-some proposal leads to a marriage proposal, Stu Ungar cleans up in bridge, poker comes to the Mayfair Club, how to Moss-proof your loose change, how X-22 almost lost his Cox, up to $1 million a week in sports bets, avoiding jail time in Las Vegas, a Chinese poker bracelet, avoiding going broke, $2k-$4k stud with Larry Flynt, real estate sticker shock in NYC and SF, losing a $300k pot to Lyle Berman, and why you can't drown a fly.
