It starts with a simple nudge. Then comes the doubt—was that guidance or was I played?

This episode takes a hard look at nudging, not to praise it, but to test it. Where do we draw the line between helping and manipulating? Is “freedom of choice” still freedom if most people never even notice the options?

We’ll unpack real examples—from cafeteria layouts to Lollapalooza hydration signs—and then ask tougher questions. What happens when nudges are designed by people who aren’t thinking clearly or worse, who don’t care? Why do critics fear a slippery slope from gentle push to full control?

We’re not taking sides. We’re opening up the full box—praise, problems, and the grey areas in between. If you’re serious about using behavioral science in policy or business, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip.

Everyone loves the idea of saving lives and the planet—but most of us don’t even tick a box when it matters.

This episode isn’t about guilt. It’s about what actually works when big problems involve small human decisions.

We dig into why presumed consent sounds great but fails quietly, why asking the right question at the right moment changes everything, and how a climate tax that grows slowly could work better than anything we've tried.

We’ll break down real examples—like Apple turning iPhones into donor tools, or why Spain leads the world in donations without relying on default tricks. It’s not just about what feels right. It’s about what works—and what doesn’t—when the stakes are lives and the climate.

If you're done with “awareness” and actually want to understand what policies move the needle, this one’s worth your time.

Everyone wants financial freedom. But in reality, we’re stuck in a loop—saving too little, investing badly, and falling for credit traps.

This episode isn’t about complex finance. It’s about how humans behave with money. Why smart people forget to join pension plans. Why most of us don’t opt in unless we’re pushed. And why we keep bad defaults running for decades without blinking.

We’ll break down what worked in the US and Sweden. We’ll unpack “Save More Tomorrow” and how the smallest nudge—like syncing savings with pay hikes—can outsmart our own laziness. Plus, a hard look at the downside: when nudges go wrong, when defaults misfire, and when choice overload backfires.

It’s not motivational. It’s not theory. It’s about what’s real—and what actually moves people to act when money’s on the line.

We all think we’re in control—until we forget to pay a bill, skip a workout, or buy something we never needed. This episode cuts through the noise and gets real about how we actually make choices.

I’m not talking about theory. I’m talking about the kind of stuff we face every day—like why we delay what matters, or how a simple checklist can save lives. We’ll walk through the real traps in our decision-making, how companies quietly profit from our mistakes, and where nudges—done right—can save us from ourselves.

There’s no overpromise here. Just sharp, grounded thinking on what works, what fails, and why it’s never just about willpower. If you've ever wondered why defaults shape your life more than your resolutions do—this is the episode to listen to.

Most people think they take rational decisions. They don’t.

This episode is not a lecture. It’s a mirror. From coffee tables that fool your eyes to tipping habits shaped by credit card screens, we walk through how real people (yes, you too) get it wrong—and why that’s perfectly normal.

We’re not discussing textbook economics here. This is about why a mug feels more valuable once it’s in your hand, how your last date affects your happiness score, and why even Einstein would’ve misjudged those table shapes.

If you think you’re immune to bias, this one’s for you.

This isn’t just an episode. It’s a reality check for anyone who makes decisions—at work, at home, or in life.

Some ideas change how you look at everything.

This episode is one of them.

From a simple school cafeteria experiment to government-level decision design—this podcast takes you through how tiny changes in environment can shift big human decisions. Not with force. Not with rules. But with design.

We’re not talking theory here. This is real stuff. It affects what you eat, how much you save, whether you show up for a vaccine, or just click that checkbox on your insurance form.

Once you understand how choice architecture works, you’ll start noticing it everywhere.

And the best part?

You’ll realize you're a choice architect too—whether you're a manager, a parent, a product designer, or just helping a friend choose lunch.

If you've ever wondered how to influence people without being manipulative, this one’s for you.

Tune in.

If you think HR is just about hiring or sending birthday mails, this episode might surprise you. Today, HR is no longer a desk job sitting in a corner office. It’s in every decision a manager takes — who to hire, how to train, how to keep people motivated, and even when to let go. The lines between line manager and HR are blurring.

This episode breaks it down without jargon. From how small businesses handle HR without an HR team, to how data and tech are changing the way we recruit, appraise, and engage people — it’s all here. We also look at real examples from Indian companies and why even mid-level managers now need to know HR basics.

If you’re leading a team, building a business, or just want to understand what’s really going on behind the term “people management” — this one is for you. It’s not corporate theory. It’s real, it’s changing, and it’s already part of your job.

Ever felt like your salary went up but your wallet stayed broke?
Welcome to the real villain of adulting — Inflation.

In this episode, we break down:
– Why things cost more than they used to
– The real reason onions randomly become gold
– How Germany once printed money like memes
– And how even Isaac Newton had to deal with fake cash

It’s not a boring economics lecture. It’s what’s quietly eating your Zomato orders, petrol budget, and weekend plans.

Listen in. Understand it once. Flex it forever.
Because being broke isn’t a vibe — but knowing why might just be power.
