For years, chief executives have told me the energy, drive and creativity they get from their morning is what drives them. So I decided to take on the challenge of a lifetime: Try a CEO’s morning routine for one day. On a Tuesday, I was JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon and up before dawn reading five newspapers, research reports and getting in a workout. On a Wednesday, call me Nasdaq Chief Executive Adena Friedman. And on a Thursday, I stepped into Hollywood executive Nathan Brown’s shoes.
