Have you ever felt intimidated or overwhelmed by conversations about economics and finance? Well you are certainly not alone! This week, Jessi sits down with economist and viral content creator Kyla Scanlon to demystify the economy and show us how it shapes our lives. Kyla is the founder of the financial education company Bread, and the author of the new book In This Economy? How Money and Markets Really Work.
Kyla explains complex topics like the housing crisis and labor shortages in simple, digestible ways, empowering us to make informed choices in our personal and professional lives. She explains why shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance is key to addressing economic challenges like renewable energy shortages and the housing crisis, creating more sustainable economies. She and Jessi discuss how the economy can even be beautiful: at its core, it’s built on trust, relationships, and human-to-human interactions.
