You got to focus on your core business now, but do you miss that cache? My bar cabinet is filled with makers mark and the small batch family of Bookers, Basil Hayden & Knob Creek. So Nick, I've been a fan of Fortune Brands for a long time through my old friendship with Clarkson Hein, mostly for that spirit's business that really hasn't been a part of it for 10 years. A wild cat from Northwestern, Nick joined the company in 2015 and previously worked at Beam Global Spirits & Wine and as a partner at Bell, Boyd & Lloyd. Nick also oversaw the Global Plumbing Group and grew the business from a single brand to its highest margin business. Previously served as president and chief operating officer until his promotion to CEO in January of 2020. Our guest today, Nicholas Fink, is CEO of Fortune Brands Home & Security, a Fortune 500 company and a leader in the home products industry. You may not know our name, but we bet you know our network. Whether it's the world's largest stock exchange or the dream of home ownership, we do more than see the big picture. For over 20 years, ICE has transformed markets, products and processes to make things work better, faster, smarter from modernizing energy and commodity trading to revolutionizing the bond markets. The connection between data and technology, innovation and expertise, and most of all between people and opportunity.

With the market leading positions across its business segments, the company's 27,500 associates work with a purpose to fulfill the dreams of home. At the helm of the firm is Nicholas Fink, CEO of Fortune Brands Home & Security. This suburb between Evanston and Kenosha on the road to Milwaukee is home to Fortune Brands, that's NYSE ticker symbol, FBHS, a company built on innovative products for kitchen, bathrooms, entry ways and outdoor living spaces. 25 miles outside out of Chicago sits Deerfield, Illinois. Fortune Brands Home & Security is in the business of making the things that make our homes beautiful, operational and safe. It's where you house your family, host your friends, a source of pride. There are a few things that are more important than your home.

As life circumstances change, you need more room and more features and upgrade to the fixtures, cabinetry, ambiance and livability of a place. Reconstruction, re-imagination and redesign, however, don't need to be a part of the aftermath of a catastrophic event. Architects and engineers came together nearly immediately to reinvent their home and make it less prone to risk. The story of the fire is tragic, but the story of Chicago's rebuild is one of hope. The city doubled in size in nine years and soon was a major American metropolis. It reinvented itself, rising from the ashes like a Phoenix with massive economic development projects, huge population growth and architects laying the groundwork for some of the world's first skyscrapers. Chicago did more than just rebuild though. The legend behind the fire may be apocryphal, but the damage and havoc it wrought were very real. The story goes that in the barn of Catherine and Patrick O'Leary, a cow kicked over a lamp that started the blaze that would destroy tens of thousands of buildings and killing 300 people and causing about 200 million in damage, which is about four billion in today's dollars.
Here's your host, Josh King, of Intercontinental Exchange.Ī little more than 150 years ago, the Great Chicago Fire ravaged the Windy City. 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 Exchanges and clearing houses around the world.
