Nick fink feet1/6/2024 It's going to be a very exciting time to be at this business. We're going to invest heavily in digital to do it. We're going to have to transform ourselves. It is going to mean we're going to have to continue to disrupt ourselves. I think it's going to be driven by some really exciting secular wins on top of the demographics I talked about. Well, I think we're really on the cusp of the next big era on housing expansion, but it's going to be different, right? This is not same old, same old. When that talk with Nick ended, as it often does inside the Ice House, with a look into the crystal ball of what might portend for our guest's or his company's future, my final question from that recording done remotely with Nick was, what is next for Fortune Brands home and security, and this was his answer. Now, we covered a full century and a half over that scant 45 minute conversation. That episode took listeners from the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, not far from where Fortune Brands headquarters is in Deerfield, Illinois through Master Lock inventing the world's first laminated steel padlock in 1921 to its legacy and spirits through the parent company's 10th year anniversary as an independent New York Stock Exchange listed firm in 2021. Back in October, 2021 at the height of the pandemic when most of our episodes were produced over Zoom with me sitting in my house in the Catskills and my guests spread somewhere across the lower 48, we recorded episode number 265 with Nick Fink, CEO of Fortune Brands Innovations, though the company had a slightly different name back then. Occasionally, just every once in a while, we open up the library for a return visit from some of our special guests to pick up where the last episode left off. Here at Inside the Ice House we do our best to keep tabs with our past guests to see how their journeys have evolved in the period that's elapsed since the last bared their souls into our microphones. Here's your host, Josh King of Intercontinental Exchange. Each week, we feature stories of those who hatch plans, create jobs, and harness the engine of capitalism right here, right now at the NYSE and at ICE's exchanges and clearinghouses around the world. Our podcast from Intercontinental Exchange on markets, leadership and vision, and global business, the dream drivers that have made the NYSE an indispensable institution of global growth for over 225 years. From the Library of the New York Stock Exchange at the corner of Wall and Broad Streets in New York City, you're Inside the Ice House.
