Life, Tech, and the Art of Remaking Your Rules: A Conversation with Emily Pabst
Season 1 Episode 36
Join host Paul Puscas for a thought-provoking conversation with Emily Pabst, founder of Remake The Rules. Emily shares her journey from government data analyst to coach and consultant, exploring how modern technology and an overload of choices shape the way we live, make decisions, and find meaning. The discussion dives into tech’s role in our daily lives, the challenge of choice inflation, and practical ways individuals can reclaim agency in a world of digital nudges and algorithmic pressure.
You’ll hear personal stories on independence, street smarts, growing up amidst changing rules, and the power of reframing—not just in business, but in how we navigate relationships, family, and society. Emily brings expert insight for anyone feeling overwhelmed by today’s information landscape, stressing that tools and apps are just that: tools, not your life.
