Ron Insana Biography

In the midst of the chaotic forces impacting business and the economy, Ron Insana delivers clear insights business leaders and financial professionals can use to make smarter decisions. A pioneer in television financial news reporting, Insana is currently senior analyst and commentator at CNBC. He also hosts The Market Score Board Report, a daily nationally syndicated radio program. As CEO of iFi AI, an AI-powered stock research platform created in partnership with IBM watsonx, Insana has a front row seat to the transformative AI revolution. He is also founder and CEO of The Insana Entertainment Group, a film and TV production company. Insana is author of four books on investing and financial markets dynamics. In his speeches, Insana makes sense of the business, economic, technological, and political news – distilling it into actionable insights his audience can use to navigate change, protect what they have, and spot fresh opportunities. Besides keynoting, he is also an outstanding moderator and interviewer.

Insana’s career in financial reporting was a total accident. He had graduated from college with a degree in film production when a producer friend at the Financial News Network hired him on as a freelance producer in 1984. FNN was the first television network devoted exclusively to financial news. One day in 1985 the network’s only two anchors got sick on the same day and Insana found himself on the air for a full eight-hour shift. That launched Insana’s financial broadcasting career. When the Financial News Network merged with CNBC in 1991, Insana became a regular anchor there and a frequent presence on other NBC News shows.

Insana was named one of the “Top 100 Business News Journalists of the 20th Century” and was nominated for a news and documentary Emmy for his role in NBC’s coverage of 9/11. His four books on investing include: TrendWatching: Don't Be Fooled by the Next Investment Fad, Mania, or Bubble; The Message of the Markets: How Financial Markets Foretell the Future--and How You Can Profit from Their Guidance; Traders' Tales: A Chronicle of Wall Street Myths, Legends, and Outright Lies; and How to Make a Fortune from the Biggest Bailout in U.S. History: A Guide to the 7 Greatest Bargains from Main Street to Wall Street.

Insana is a highly regarded speaker on domestic and global economics, financial markets, economic policy issues, and technology trends impacting business. He graduated with honors from California State University at Northridge.

Ron Insana Speaking Topics

THE ECONOMY 2025: WASHINGTON, WALL STREET, AND THE WORLD – WHO STANDS TO WIN, WHO STANDS TO LOSE?

For the first time in decades, regardless of which political party wins, the White House, Washington and Wall Street might find themselves at odds over critical economic policies. This situation potentially places Main Street in a difficult position. On one side, there are proposals for across-the-board tariffs and mass deportations; on the other, there are capital-damaging tax hikes, and both sides are proposing deficit-increasing budgets. The federal government may wield more influence over the economy than a “friendly” Federal Reserve for the first time in years.

The first year of a new presidency always brings uncertainty, and 2025 will likely be no different for markets, the economy as a whole, and, perhaps more importantly, for specific sectors and regions that could be affected by upcoming policy and political changes. Ron Insana outlines the potential for profits and pitfalls, risks and rewards, and gains and losses in the year ahead – domestically and globally. What happens in 2025 may well shape the economy and markets for decades to come. Ron tailors this presentation to suit each audience on topics such as:

  • Central Banks: Have They Risked a Recession to Fight Inflation?
  • De-Globalization & De-Dollarization: Fact and Friction?
  • Geo-Politics: 5 Hot Spots to Watch Around the World
  • The AI Revolution: From Infrastructure to Implementation
  • Battling Climate Change: Big Business versus Mass Migration
  • The Culture Wars: What’s the Economic Cost of Societal Change?

THE ECONOMY AHEAD: OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND

Where is this economy headed and how will it impact you and your business? Big picture: Ron Insana says it’s time to buckle up because the future may look a lot more like the past than anything we’ve experienced since the 1980s. A student of economic and markets history, Ron authored four books on these subjects. In his talks, Ron lays out scenarios for the economic, business, and investing future – looking at the macro forces currently at play and identifying what happened at periods in history when the similar forces converged. While history doesn’t repeat itself, it rhymes, as the old axiom goes. This long view helps Ron, a pioneer in broadcast financial news since 1984, provide clarity when assessing complex economic environment – connecting the dots and creating a coherent and actionable set of insights for audiences looking to plan for the future. Ron tailors this presentation to suit each audience.

Sample themes:

  • Finding optimism in an economy that feels so perilous
  • De-globalization update
  • Policy, politics and geo-politics: What to know in the year ahead
  • The AI revolution: How the economy will be radically transformed
  • Investing in a post-zero interest rate world
  • The future of crypto currencies
  • How climate change will alter the economy
  • Cultural destabilization’s economic impact

IS A NORMAL ECONOMY THE “NEW NORMAL?”

Unprecedented global political instability, inflation, broken supply chains, changes to work and the workforce, economic turmoil, and living with Covid long term. Against that back drop of epic uncertainty and constant change, Ron Insana offers up insights and advice that help business leaders and investors navigate the chaos. Ron is the experienced voice of economic reason – a savvy trend-watcher who helps audiences prepare for tomorrow by looking at today through the lens of economic history. Ron tailors this presentation to suit each audience and can focus on:

  • The Tipping Point: When does the global recession begin and just how bad will it be?
  • Have central banks lost their way?
  • Who wins in 2023 – Wall Street or Main Street?
  • De-globalization: Business in the new, new world order
  • Politics and Geo-Politics: What to know in the year ahead
  • The coming AI revolution: How the American economy will be radically transformed in five years or less
  • The Art of Investing in a post-Zero Interest Rate World
  • Crypto Currencies: Dead money forever or are there signs of life?
