In today’s Octane blog, we bring EO members and non-members alike behind the scenes of 2019 EO Global Leadership Conference Macau (GLC), profiling Leonard Brody, one of the event’s carefully selected speakers who is known as “a leader of the new world order.” Brody is an award-winning entrepreneur, venture capitalist, bestselling author and two-time Emmy-nominated media visionary. At GLC, he will address the rapid pace of change, innovation and disruption facing us all―and what to do about it.

In partnership with Forbes, Brody produced a documentary series and is writing The Great Re:Write, a book based on it. His mission is to be a guide in the midst of profound new trends that are rewriting the way we work and live.

“The story of the rewrite began with my fascination around a question: How is this time different? We’ve lived through three decades of massive change, but it always felt like there was something different in the air. This time is different from the mobile era, from the web era―but how is it different?” Brody says.
