We all have big events in life we need to prepare for. Whether it is a job interview, a speech or any other kind of performance, you have to be ready. So what is the best way to prepare? Listen as I talk to someone who knows a lot about preparing for a big event – Buzzy Cohen. He was a 9-game winner on Jeopardy who then went on to victory in the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions. As you will hear, Buzzy says it wasn’t that he was so smart; he was just better prepared. He is here to share his insight into the best ways to prepare for any big event or performance in your life. He also talks about his experience and gives a little “behind the scenes” info on Jeopardy. Buzzy is the author of the audio book Get Ready: A Champion’s Guide to Preparing for the Moments that Matter (https://amzn.to/3tSdp04).
