Welcome to Weekend Hustlers—the podcast where we break down the strategies, innovations, and game-changing insights that drive industries forward. If you're a practitioner looking for actionable knowledge, you're in the right place.

Every weekday, we unpack a groundbreaking patent. On weekends, we dive deep into case studies and industry reports, decoding the forces shaping global business. Make sure to subscribe to "Weekend Hustlers" on Spotify and check out our YouTube channel, "Weekend Researcher", for even more insights.

Today, we explore a critical industry report from Boston Consulting Group’s Center for Geopolitics: Great Powers, Geopolitics, and the Future of Trade. Published in January 2025, this report examines how shifting geopolitical tensions are redrawing the map of global commerce.

By 2033, world trade will look dramatically different—North America could emerge as a fortified trade bloc, China may deepen ties with the Global South, and the European Union might pivot to fresh partnerships. Meanwhile, US tariffs could throw another wrench into the equation.

So, what does this mean for businesses navigating an increasingly fragmented trade landscape? And more importantly—how can you position yourself to thrive in the next decade of global commerce?
