In this episode of Future Finance, hosts Paul Barnhurst and Glenn Hopper invite guests Nick Jain and Daniel Settel to explore AI, FP&A innovation, and the unexpected career paths that lead to great finance leaders.
A chemical engineering student. A project finance research project.
A database of cities being built from scratch. That single opportunity changed everything.
One curiosity led to another. One project became a career.

Not because of the formulas. Because of the way it teaches you to think.
The best careers rarely follow a straight line.
