Today Alex and Shimon chat with Gad Allon – an award-winning and favorite professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. We discuss the one macro shift that is disrupting everything and we don’t even know it: Gigafication. We talk about the Gig Economy of today, the immense challenge of matching Supply and Demand, how the concept of the “firm” is dead as we know it, and the off-the-charts efficiencies Gigafication will bring.
