Careers · Vox Media Podcast Network
by Vox Media Podcast Network
How do you plan a career when nobody can tell you which jobs will survive the next five years? Most career advice comes from an economy that no longer exists. So what still works? And what is the reality – and future – of the world we’re all trying to navigate? These are the driving questions behind Best of Luck. Every week, economic commentator and New York Times best-selling author Kyla Scanlon sits down with people who have built careers out of detours, rejections and second choices: economists, journalists, comedians, and more. Each guest tells their story, swaps career advice, and then takes on an unlikely job interview (think Loch Ness Monster or Kermit the Frog). Together, they try to understand and define the economy we're actually living and working in. Come for the stories and leave with something you can actually use. New episodes drop every Tuesday starting October 27. Part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I’ve never left a review on any podcast I’ve listened to over the past 20 years. However, after listening to ep1, I am compelled to write this. This podcast takes principles and makes them super appealing, which is something Kyla is known for across her book and social media.
I was soooo looking forward to this podcast but the first interview is with someone whose voice we have heard soooo much over the years. We are living in today’s economy. Kai R has already won. His story isn’t that relevant vs younger people looking to find their luck or good strategy *today.* We need new voices and relevant, interesting, undiscovered people. Not public radio stars. This is my issue with Good Hang, as well. She just interviews the same people doing press junket that every other podcast interviews. Podcasting is crowded. Please find guests who offer a fresh voice and new stories.
Kyla has her finger on the pulse of everything that matters in our economy, bringing real empathy and foresight to every topic. Poise, perspective, and DATA. In the best tradition of Kai Ryssdal, a north star for so many of us. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Loved episode one. So happy to see you on this platform. Your online content and writing is always must see/read. Thanks for more Kyla!
