32 - The Productivity Illusion: Are We Choosing the Right Tools? with Emily Pabst

In today’s episode, we’re diving into choice tech — not just the tools businesses use, but how they choose them. Because in a world filled with platforms that promise to boost productivity, streamline collaboration, and automate the busywork, what often gets overlooked is the bigger picture: the long-term impact of those choices on your team, your culture, and your bottom line.

And sometimes, the tools meant to help… end up doing more harm than good.

To unpack all of this, I’m joined by Emily Pabst, founder of RemakeTheRules.com. Emily works with organizations to rethink the systems that shape their work — and that includes making smarter, more human-centered decisions about technology. She’s seen firsthand how the right tech can empower teams — and how the wrong choices can quietly undermine them. 

We’ll talk about the decision-making process behind adopting new tools, the warning signs of tech overload, and how companies can align their tech stacks with their actual values — not just their ambitions. Let’s get into it.
