    Entrepreneur and Venture Capitalist Leonard Brody

    In this episode, Marc sits down with I.CON West keynote speaker, techno-economist and venture capitalist Leonard Brody to unpack the supercycle shaping today’s global economy. Drawing on 300 years of history, Brody explains how major shifts – often driven by technology – trigger waves of uncertainty, disruption and ultimately growth.
