Economic Cheat Codes for Everyday Life w/ Daryl Fairweather #971

We’re joined by the Chief Economist at Redfin, Daryl Fairweather, so you know we’re talking about the current state of the real estate market today. But before she was knee-deep in housing data Daryl was the senior economist at Amazon, and before that she was a researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston which is when she was working with Freakonomics author Steven Levitt. Now, she has a new book that just came out last week, Hate The Game: Economic Cheat Codes for Life, Love, and Work. The book is all about helping folks to use game theory and behavioral science to lay out all the options in life. For example whether you should get married and have kids or not, or going for a promotion versus looking for a new job, or whether or not you should move to a new city! Basically, Daryl is wanting to help folks win at whatever game in life they’re playing and we also discuss her favorite nerdy board game, the solutions to high housing prices, and plenty more!
