About this episode

It’s a holiday weekend in the United States, and we thought it would be a good time to revisit some of the big ideas that our guests shared with us over the past year.

 

Meeting the new commercial realities created by the globalization of the natural gas market, the energy transition to a lower carbon economy, and the rise of artificial intelligence requires new and smarter markets in which participants are empowered with new financial technology.

 

And building those smarter markets will require big ideas. We hope you enjoy revisiting these moments and ideas with us.
