62 - Adena Friedman, Nasdaq CEO: Build A Career With Smart Adjustments

You don’t have to be playing the markets every day to know that stocks have been doing very well lately – and not just lately, for about nine years now.

To get there, she’s had to chart a path where there was none. For example, it meant choosing what was right for her family over what seemed like the more obvious career decision – and making it all work anyway.
