Episode 326: How to Thrive in an Emotion-Driven Economy (with Kyla Scanlon)

The Wall Street Journal called her “the 27-year old economic adviser for Gen Z.” Jared Bernstein, chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers considers her an impressive thinker about the economy.

Our guest on this episode of the skucast is Kyla Scanlon, founder of the financial education company, Bread, and a prolific creator. Kyla writes a weekly newsletter, makes YouTube videos, hosts the “Let’s Appreciate” podcast, and posts —almost daily— short-form videos about the economy and markets. Her first book, In This Economy: How Money and Markets Really Work, was published in May 2024. Kyla has written for Bloomberg Opinion, New York Magazine, the Financial Times, and The New York Times, as well as many other major publications. Her main goal is to conduct human-centric economic analysis to help connect the dots between what is happening and why it is happening.
