“I’m one of the most successful poker players of the new era.”
That's how Fedor Holz introduced himself before giving a speech about poker and his life at Web Summit, and it is certainly true.
Dubbed the “best technology conference on the planet," Web Summit brings Fortune 500 companies, groundbreaking startups and world-class leaders to Lisbon. Holz was one of over 1,200 speakers at the conference, where he had an opportunity to speak about his startup, Primed Mind, an immersive coaching app, which he says was a large contribution to his success.
But before touching on his app, Holz dove into the story of his upbringing and background, explaining that he was often bullied in school for being “the small kid” and how his experiences from his childhood lead to a career in poker and now as an entrepreneur.
