We’re living in an era of choice inflation—a time when the number of decisions we’re expected to make has skyrocketed, but the quality of support for those decisions hasn’t kept up. From dating to leadership to personal growth, we’re not just facing more choices—we’re facing harder ones, filtered through tools and platforms designed to shape how we think, what we see, and what we choose.
I’m Emily Pabst, a choicetech consultant and coach and the founder of Remake The Rules. I help people and organizations rethink how they make decisions in a world saturated with information and shaped by what I call choicetech—the systems, tools, and algorithms that influence, automate, or overload our choices.
My work sits at the intersection of cognitive bias, social influence, and digital systems and asks: How do we stay grounded, intentional, and aligned inside that complexity? I love real, thought-provoking conversations about what it means to be human, make good decisions, and resist the pull of noise and default.
If you’re a podcast host, journalist, or creator looking for a guest who brings insight, warmth, and a fresh lens on modern decision-making, let’s connect.

Shorter:
Emily Pabst is the founder of Remake The Rules, a decision-support consultancy focused on data, technology, and complex information systems.

Longer:
Emily Pabst is the founder of Remake The Rules, where she helps people and organizations make better decisions inside increasingly complex information and technology environments.
Her work grew out of more than a decade in policing, where she worked at the intersection of data, technology, operations, policy, public accountability, and leadership, ultimately leading data analytics for the Denver Police Department. That experience shaped her interest in a broader question: what happens when the tools we use to support our decisions begin shaping the decisions themselves?
Emily calls these systems choicetech—the technologies, platforms, information structures, and decision environments that influence what we see, what options are available to us, and how we choose.
Through Remake The Rules, she works with public safety agencies, businesses, nonprofits, leaders, and individuals navigating consequential decisions. Her approach draws on decision and information science, systems thinking, probabilistic thinking, and statistical intuition, with a focus on helping people actively shape the systems they rely on rather than simply adapting to them.
