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. He argues that AI is the defining force of this cycle, accelerating change faster than ever while reshaping work, society and geopolitics. Despite near-term volatility, Brody emphasizes that history points to long-term economic expansion. He also shares why critical thinking and pattern recognition are essential skills in a “post-truth” era – and how leaders can navigate disruption without falling behind. Recorded on April 2, 2026.
