What's up, y'all? Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Odd Lots podcast. I'm Jill Weisenthal.
And I'm Tracy Allaway.
So, Tracy, we're still rolling out shows from our live show on May 28 in New York City at City Winery. As we discussed in our last episode from the show, it had a sort of future of markets, future of trading theme to the night's conversation.
