Premier Chess: Conquer the Game; Master Your Life

I am a national chess master, who was born and raised in New York City. After working in Enterprise Sales for a years after graduating Cum Laude from Brandeis University with a BA in Business International Studies, I decided to begin Premier Chess in September 2017. Since then, we have partnered with 100+ schools and companies including the law firm Kramer Levin. On this podcast, I speak about business, life, education and chess and bring on frequent guests.

    Bad audio quality
    This podcast has good guests but the host's audio quality is terrible. Please get a proper microphone and recording setup. Thankfully the guest's audio quality is usually good.

    Audio quality is often poor
    The biggest complaint I have is the audio quality. Some episodes are impossible to listen to. Very inconsistent. Also I’d recommend letting the guests talk more without interrupting them. Usually the interviews are good though.
