Industry Conversations: OIC Instructor Mark Benzaquen x Thoughtium
OIC instructor Mark Benzaquen joined Anthony Yung, CEO and co-founder of Thoughtium, on the firm’s long-running live series Navigating Now. Thoughtium is a consulting and leadership development company, and their series focuses on fostering discussions with forward-looking leaders on various topics shaping organizations today. Their conversation explored how education can serve as a differentiator for organizations. Mark reflected on his early influences, crediting teachers who sparked his passion for both economics and teaching, which eventually led him to his role in investor education.
Mark and Anthony also discussed the shift in investor demographics, with younger participants entering the markets earlier and often preferring short, digestible content. Mark shared how OIC has adapted by creating animations, shorter videos, and more targeted learning resources, while continuing to produce long-form materials for those who prefer in-depth study.
