If things feel chaotic in the world today, it’s because they are. With massive shifts in risk and reward, we face significant economic uncertainty and confusion about what comes next. Economic futurist Andrew Busch takes a distinctive approach to unraveling this complexity. Rather than merely analyzing how today’s financial policies influence economic growth, he dives deeper into the supercharged trends that drive much of today’s global chaos and transformation. By examining where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed, Andrew provides the critical context needed to uncover industry-specific opportunities hidden within the upheaval.

Andrew brings unparalleled credentials to his insights. As the former 1st Chief Market Intelligence Officer for the U.S. government, he was tasked with enhancing the government’s understanding of the economy and markets. He distilled vast amounts of news, data, and information into clear, actionable insights for the White House, Congress, the SEC, the Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Treasury, addressing issues such as interest rates, inflation, trade, and the economic impact of technology and global events.

Before his government service, Andrew was the CEO and founder of Bering Productions, Inc., a boutique financial markets and policy research firm. Earlier in his career, he served as Global Currency and Public Policy Strategist for Bank of Montreal. He is also the author of “World Event Trading,” a book that explores how large crises, such as infectious disease outbreaks and geopolitical conflicts, impact economies and markets.

Andrew’s unique perspective equips audiences with the economic clarity and actionable insights they need to navigate the chaos, understand the present, and seize future growth opportunities.
