What if a board game could explain why most people are caught off guard financially? In this episode of Games of Life, Ambar Reddekopp uses the cooperative board game Pandemic to explore how financial preparedness really works. She draws clear parallels between managing a global outbreak and managing personal finances — where early preparation, boring but necessary steps, and the ability to absorb shocks make all the difference. The conversation centers on emergency funds, why they’re intentionally unexciting, and how mindset shapes our response when life changes suddenly. Through humor and relatable stories, Ambar reframes preparation as the foundation for resilience rather than a reaction to crisis.
