Your August Listening Guide: The Circuit and the Circus of Trade
July was a month of mid-year reflection. August, as always, feels like a bridge between summer adventures, family time, and new beginnings. It’s also the last long weekend before the rhythm of business life returns to the cities in full force. If you’re in international trade, or thinking about entering the field, I invite you to spend this time with both #purpose and a bit of #entertainment.
🎧 I’ve compiled all episodes of my podcast “Circus & Circuit: Unraveling Global Trade” in one place for easy listening.
This podcast is all about understanding the two sides of global trade — the structured systems (the Circuit) and the unpredictable challenges (the Circus). Whether you’re a seasoned professional, an entrepreneur, or simply curious about international business, it lays the foundation for why mastering both order and chaos is essential for success.
🔎 Listen to them all, or dive into the topics that interest you most.
