The Architects of Value: Mark Edelstone and Colin Stewart on the Economics of Silicon Valley

History tells us something uncomfortable: revolutions are real, bubbles are real, and sometimes they happen at the same time. As the global markets grapple with the "AI moment," many are left questioning whether we are witnessing a fundamental shift in human capability or a speculative fever. In this episode of A Bit Personal, Jodi Shelton hosts a high-level masterclass with two Wall Street titans who have navigated the most volatile cycles and bubbles of the last 30 years: Mark Edelstone, Managing Director, and Colin Stewart, Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Morgan Stanley.
