About this listen

Worldwide trade has become increasingly complex, risky and unpredictable. Those who engage in cross-border trade have been forced to change long-standing practices and adjust their supply chain to continue providing the world with desired goods at an optimal cost. This coming year will continue to present those who engage in cross border trade with uncertainty and challenge. This podcast is intended to offer my reflections on this critical topic.© 2025 Rittener Reflections Career Success Economics Management Management & Leadership Political Science Politics & Government

  • 21: Part 2 People in Portugal
    Jan 6 2026
    Portugal has become one of the world’s most talked‑about destinations — and after spending time there, I understand why. Last week, I shared Pathways in Portugal, a reflection on how Lisbon and Porto revealed themselves through movement and stillness. This week, I’m focusing on the people — the conversations, small moments, and unexpected connections that shaped the experience in ways no itinerary ever could. What stayed with me long after I returned home wasn’t the architecture or the food, but the people. These encounters revealed something about Lisbon, something about Porto, and something about myself. I hope you enjoy meeting them.
