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.
