Happy Friday! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, and this might be the worst gift to inherit from a deceased relative.

Fun Fact Friday: The Wilhelm scream is Hollywood's go-to sound effect for action movies, having been used in over 100 films.

Today we've got stories on top CEOs talking about their approach to leadership, some charts to make sense of all the madness in the markets, and why intermittent fasting might be a good move for you.

But first, how did you make it to the top?

1. Moving on up.

How does a wunderkind become a wunderkind?

Achieving success at an early age is impressive in any industry, but it's particularly awe-inspiring on Wall Street.

Lucky for you, Insider's Emmalyse Brownstein spoke to someone who did exactly that. Soeren Kuenzel quickly rose the ranks at Citadel Securities, Ken Griffin's massive trading firm, to eventually lead the market maker's foreign exchange team at only 31 years of age.

Kuenzel, who started as an intern at hedge fund Citadel in 2018 and focused on quantitative research, spoke about his rise within Griffin's financial empire.

As Emmalyse details, a key turning point for Kuenzel early on in his career was asking his manager to take on a "real business problem." That should come as no surprise, as Griffin recently spoke to incoming interns at his hedge fund, Citadel, about how a programmer's career path will be defined by "your ability to solve problems."

It's a good lesson for how fixing issues at work is a surefire way to supercharge your career. People like employees who can make their problems go away. 

That's relevant when one considers the rise of artificial intelligence. As fascinating as the tech is, finance executives' patience is bound to run thin if practical use cases aren't eventually evident. 

The tug-of-war between innovative ideas and real-world application has long existed, but it feels particularly pertinent to AI when so much of the discussion is about what could be.
