Before GTS Principal Reggie Browne became known as the "Godfather of ETFs" and one of the most influential people in the exchange-traded funds space, he was listening to George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" and Prince in his room. And then there was the formative Public Enemy/Beastie Boys concert he went to wearing work clothes after a day on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and left drenched in beer. From Yo-Yo Ma to James Brown to Jorja Smith, Reggie tells Nic about the music he loves and what he's listening to now.

We're on a break this weke and bringing you a greatest hits episode, featuring all of our favorite responses to a question Nic asks all of his guests: What was your first concert? Their answers are far-ranging, from Kendrick Lamar at Governor’s Ball, to David Bowie at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia to a Pearl Jam concert that Malaysian police kept interrupting. We’re hearing about first-time shows finance and business titans went to as wee lads and lasses, including tales from Barry Ritholtz, Bob Pisani, Eric Balchunas, Priya Dewan, Bethany McLean, Drew Voros and Tyrone Ross. Consider this your ticket in.

Priya Dewan made a name for herself as a label manager for the esteemed UK label Warp Records during the early aughts, working with bands like Grizzly Bear, Beach House, and Flying Lotus. Raised in Singapore, Dewan has returned to Asia where she is now a VP of South Korea & Southeast Asia at music distribution company the Orchard, and founder and CEO of Gig Life Pro, which helps the music industry community navigate the APAC festival circuit and wider music industry. Here, Dewan talks to Nic about a childhood spent singing along to '80s sensation Tiffany, buying her first album under the table in a Singapore skate shop (where it was banned), seeing Pearl Jam despite the attempts of the police to shut the show down, and what she's listening to and loving now.

Spark CEO and ETF.com founder Jim Wiandt (that's our boss) joins Nic this week to talk about a childhood spent listening to country music and the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, before graduating to E.L.O. and, later, the Grateful Dead. Listen as Wiandt talks about discovering music in Boston attending Tufts after a childhood in "bible-belt" Ohio and his scary experience with a serious case of Covid.

For Salesforce's Jon Fee, who also owns the record label Parks and Records, it all started with memorizing Van Halen's "Jump" as a kid. From there, it was California skate-punk bands, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Mike Watt's Firehose. Listen as Fee tells Nic about his first concert in Humboldt County, CA, his love for Yacht Rock, and what his guiltiest pleasures are.

ETF.Com Editor-In-Chief Drew Voros came of age with older siblings who played him essentials like the Beatles before he graduated to the Doors, and, later, as a teenager, had a full-blown "Disco sucks" punk phase. The Sex Pistols fan talks to Nic about his first concert, where some guy named Tom Petty opened for the Police, slam dancing at rock clubs and re-discovering the broody sounds of the band Morphine.

Tyrone Ross Jr. is CEO of Onramp Invest, creator of the financial literacy program "Learn to Money," and an advocate for the underbanked and closing the wealth gap in America. He's also a huge fan of the Isley Brothers (which may or may not have permanently scarred his parents), the Notorious B.I.G. and will always have a soft spot for Garth Brooks' emo alter-ego Chris Gaines. You read that correctly. Join Nic and Tyrone for more truth bombs from his musical youth on this absurdly fun episode of The Sound of Success.

Before Eric Balchunas joined the finance world, where he works now as a Senior ETF Analyst for Bloomberg, he had dreams of working in the music industry, interning at Virgin Records and whiling away the hours at record stores in Manhattan . The host of Bloomberg's "Trillions" podcast and author of an upcoming book on visionary Vanguard founder Jack Bogle, Eric sits down with Nic to talk about his childhood love for Duran Duran, graduating to R&B and hip-hop, and discovering the seminal Pixies album "Doolittle," which changed everything.

In 2001, journalist Bethany McLean wrote a piece for Fortune magazine simply titled "Is Enron Overpriced?" It led to the landmark collapse of one of Wall Street's biggest companies under the weight of its shocking fraud. She also grew up in Hibbing, MN, home to America's rock 'n' roll laureate Bob Dylan, listening to Handle, Bach, Metallica, and Def Leppard. The former Goldman Sachs analyst turned Vanity Fair contributing editor, joins Nic to talk about her love for the Stones, Leonard Cohen, and the top 40 dance-pop music you hear in the background of most TikToks. She's the author of All the Devils Are Here, about the 2008 economic collapse, and is currently at work on a third book about the impacts of Covid-19 on the economy.

Journalist Bob Pisani has been gracing your television screens for CNBC since 1990, where he reports live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as the network's on-air stocks editor. He also writes its daily Trader Talk blog. Pisani, who grew up in Philadelphia, where he still resides, cut his teeth on Bee Gees 45s and wearing his platform shoes to see Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie was his gateway drug to the Velvet Underground, and on to the jazz of Count Basie and Miles Davis. Listen as Pisani talks to Nic about his formative music experiences, his guilty pleasures, and his love for "indecent recordings."
