What if the world’s greatest opportunities aren’t found in polished systems, but in the messy, broken ones everyone else avoids?
In this episode of Power & Impact, I sit down with Jeff Sprecher, founder and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, which is the company behind the New York Stock Exchange. Jeff’s approach is simple: find what’s complex and overlooked, and make it clearer, more efficient, and more trustworthy. That mindset led him to take on the New York Stock Exchange when it had fallen out of favor and rebuild it into one of the most powerful financial and data networks in the world.
We talk about how to recognize opportunity in chaos, how technology can simplify even the most complicated systems, and what that looks like across industries. We also explore the impact of AI on jobs and the shifting path from education to work. Jeff is candid about the disruption ahead, but optimistic about where it leads.
This is a conversation about how to think in a changing world — and where to look when the next opportunity isn’t obvious.
