First up, we talk the biggest economic growth for the U.S. in 11 years. And college football’s new playoff system is shaking up the game off the field too. Some of the big companies sponsoring bowl games defected to another game or dropped their support altogether. We look at why there’s been such a large shake up. Plus, many industries have gotten the Silicon Valley treatment (i.e. disruption), so why not Wall Street? More of our conversation with IEX CEO and President Brad Katsuyama on bringing innovation to financial services.
