Pete Dulcamara displayed a photo taken in 1900 on New York City’s Fifth Avenue. Among the horses and buggies, there was a lone automobile. Then, he showed another photo, taken 13 years later from the same vantage point. If you squinted hard enough, you could spot a lone horse as automobiles filled the street.
“That’s how fast disruption happens,” Dulcamara, founder of Pete Dulcamara & Associates, told participants at the Wisconsin Economic Summit 2024.

I think we’ve got to be bold.”
