Kyla Scanlon is the founder of a financial education company and a creator. She 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. She majored in finance, economics, and data analytics. Upon graduation, she was a CAP Associate at Capital Group. She then joined an education startup to spin out their investment education arm before starting her own company. She is currently writing an introductory book on economics and the Federal Reserve. She has worked with Bloomberg, New York Magazine, the Financial Times, New York Magazine, and the New York Times, as well as many other major publications. Her main goal is to conduct a human-centric economic analysis to help connect the dots between what is happening and why it is happening.
The economy can often feel like an abstract machine—powerful, confusing, and out of reach. Kyla Scanlon makes it personal. In this talk, New York Times bestselling author of In This Economy? unpacks how jobs, markets, and policies connect to our everyday lives, translating complex forces into stories and insights people can actually use.
Known for coining the term “vibecession” and redefining how a new generation understands finance, Kyla gives audiences a clearer view of the economy’s moving parts, learn how public perception shapes market realities, and arms them with practical tools to think more critically about the forces influencing their world. Whether speaking to business leaders, consultants, labor advocates, or students, Kyla creates a space where economic conversation feels accessible, engaging, and empowering.
