How does the wisdom and resilience of past generations shape our ability to succeed in today's rapidly changing world?

In a world of rapid change and easy access to information, the younger generations often feel disconnected from the resilience forged by their predecessors. This disconnect raises important questions about how we can bridge the gap and keep the lessons of the past in mind as we move forward.

Leonard Brody, a prominent entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author, shares his insights on the challenges faced by today’s generation, the importance of resilience, and the role of entrepreneurs in shaping a better future.

He opens up about his own journey and the ways in which his family’s experiences have shaped his worldview and approach to business. Leonard also discusses how the lack of direct experience with global-scale trauma in younger generations might affect their resilience and perspectives.
