Thanks for reading History Lessons for the Modern Investor! This post is public so feel free to share it.

In this episode, I’m joined by someone who knows a thing or two about navigating the unpredictable: Ian T. Brown. Commissioned in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2003, Ian earned his wings as a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter pilot, flying missions from the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan to the wide-open expanses of the Pacific. Along the way, he’s worn just about every hat the Corps has to offer—forward air controller, requirements officer, historian—each one giving him a unique vantage on decision-making under pressure.

Ian’s intellectual flight path is no less impressive. He holds a bachelor’s in history from Saint Anselm College and a master’s in military history from Norwich University, and he’s put pen to paper for outlets like the Marine Corps Gazette, War on the Rocks, and Strategy Bridge. And now, with his first book, A New Conception of War, Ian delivers a deep dive into the shifting paradigms that have shaped—sometimes upended—the business of modern war. When not writing, he is a Wargame Analyst and host of the "Marine Pulse" Podcast.

Whether you lead investors, companies, or combat teams, something in Ian’s journey—adaptability, courage, relentless curiosity—speaks to anyone trying to find clarity in the fog of uncertainty.

So buckle up. Today we’ll talk OODA loops, strategic inflection points, and what it really means to lead when the rulebook is being rewritten in real time.
