Happy holidays to you from us here at McKinsey. Today we've got one of our most popular interviews from 2025. We'll be back January 8th with new episodes. This is the McKinsey Podcast, where we help you make sense out of our world's toughest business challenges. Welcome to the show.

I'm Lucia Rahili. And I'm Roberta Fassaro. Hey everyone, today we've got a really cool segment coming up on quantum computing with McKinsey partner Michael Bogobovich. But before we go there, let's talk about what's new on McKinsey.com, more on tariffs. We just published an article about the importance of establishing a nerve center that can help.

companies respond comprehensively and in real time. Yeah, and geopolitically speaking, we have an interactive called the Global Trade Explorer. It tracks the top trading partners for each world economy and it shows very clearly how trading partners have changed between 1995 and 2023. Very eye-opening. You can find both of these pieces of research on our site and in our show notes.
