The Career Game: What Economics Reveals About Success
On this episode of CareerCast, host Anita Brick sits down with economist and Hate the Game author Daryl Fairweather for a candid, insight-rich conversation about why success is rarely as straightforward as it looks — and what you can do about it.
Daryl has spent her career studying the systems and incentives that shape how markets — and people — behave. She brings that same analytical lens to the world of work, revealing the hidden dynamics behind who gets opportunities, who gets overlooked, and why. Anita draws out the best of it — asking the right questions and pushing for the practical takeaways that actually move the needle.
Together they cover negotiating, positioning yourself, knowing when to pivot, and understanding the forces that shape who gets ahead. Grounded, honest, and worth your time. This is the kind of conversation to share with someone you know who's ready to make a better move.
