Dan Toomey’s Dream Job Never Called Back
03/11/2026 | 46min
Dan Toomey was rejected by the job he'd always wanted for four straight years. It was the luckiest thing that ever happened for his career.

Now, he’s the host of Good Work, where he makes funny videos about news in business, tech and finance that are watched by millions.

In this episode: how do you build your dream career out of a job you never expected? Plus: why creating in public might get you hired, why Dan stopped looking at the numbers, and the case for taking up fly fishing in your 20s (and beyond).

Sobre Best of Luck with Kyla Scanlon

How do you plan a career when nobody can tell you which jobs will survive the next five years? Most career advice comes from an economy that no longer exists. So what still works? And what is the reality – and future – of the world we’re all trying to navigate? These are the driving questions behind Best of Luck. Every week, economic commentator and New York Times best-selling author Kyla Scanlon sits down with people who have built careers out of detours, rejections and second choices: economists, journalists, comedians, and more. Each guest tells their story, swaps career advice, and then takes on an unlikely job interview (think Loch Ness Monster or Kermit the Frog). Together, they try to understand and define the economy we're actually living and working in. Come for the stories and leave with something you can actually use. New episodes drop every Tuesday starting October 27. Part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.
