How to Money iHeartPodcasts

Stimmy checks, the productivity paradox, the housing theory of everything – these are just a few of the topics covered with our guest, Kyla Scanlon. It’s tricky to describe who Kyla is and what exactly she does because, yes, she has a massive following on TikTok… but she’s not simply an influencer. She also has an incredible newsletter, but she isn’t simply a writer, even though she has written for the Times, NY Magazine, and Bloomberg. AND, her brand-new book, “In This Economy?: How Money and Markets Really Work,” was just released yesterday. But we think that ultimately Kyla is an educator because she excels at bridging the gap between the complexities of our modern economy and everyday living. It’s clear that she is passionate about empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions. Plus, she does all of this with a touch of humor while not ignoring the philosophical angle as well… happy listening!
