New podcast launches October twenty-seventh

Kyla Scanlon, New York Times bestselling author and economic commentator, and Vox announced Best of Luck, a weekly video interview podcast premiering October twenty-seventh.

Show explores careers in uncertain economy

Each week Scanlon sits with guests from economists to comedians who share instructive detours, setbacks, and successes, tying each story back to the economy.

Traditional career advice no longer works

Scanlon said much career advice still comes from an economy that does not really exist anymore, and there is no one right way to build a career.

“So much of the advice we are given about building a career still comes from an economy that doesn't really exist anymore.”

Show format includes mock interviews

Every guest sits for a mock job interview and does an advice autopsy, discussing how to build your own luck and make better decisions about your path.

Scanlon coined term vibecession

Named to Time one hundred Creators list and Barron's one hundred Most Influential Women in Finance, Scanlon coined vibecession to describe disconnect between economic data and public feeling.

Scanlon's background in economics

She is author of New York Times bestseller In This Economy? How Money and Markets Really Work, a CNN contributor and analyst, and monthly New York Times Opinion contributor.

Vox editor praises Scanlon's approach

Swati Sharma, editor-in-chief and publisher at Vox, said Scanlon's accessible approach to explaining the economy personifies Vox's explanatory approach.
