In Episode 19 of Innovator Insights, host Scott Fisher chats with Martin LeBlanc, CXO at Magnific (co-founder of Iconfinder and former Freepik executive).
Together, they cut through the AI hype to look at the practical reality of corporate AI adoption. Martin shares how generative AI is democratizing high-end video and design workflows, why Freepik made the bold move to rebrand to Magnific, and how leaders can overcome employee anxiety around AI automation.

We dive deep into the vital difference between passive screen time and active creation, the powerful role AI can play in easing teacher burdens, and why the ultimate goal of modern education must be treating students as true individuals.
