Are men who are insecure about their manhood more likely to buy sports cars?  Do memes work for government communication?  Does brand colour change the products we buy?  And will an AI ever replace a police interrogator?  These are some of the questions Jo Evershed, a psychological scientist and CEO, helps me answer on today's episode of Nudge. ---  Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Learn more about Gorilla: https://gorilla.sc/  Connect with Jo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-evershed-36bba9/  Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/   --- Today's sources: CX Lab.

The Deeper & Wiser Part of You Knows: Trust the Nudge & Tap Into the Magic What if the part of you that knows exactly what to do next… is already speaking to you? There's one line I've used in tapping for 15 years: “The deeper and wiser part of me knows.” She knows when something is for you.She knows when something isn't.She knows when it's time to stay — and when it's time to leap. But right before we step into something bigger, the old parts of us often get LOUD. What if it doesn't work?Where is the money going to come from?Am I actually ready for this?How am I going to pull this off? I'm living this in real time right now as I step into one of the biggest visions I've ever had — while simultaneously navigating grief, family, relationships, uncertainty and everything else life is bringing with it. And that's what this episode is about: Learning how to hold the magic AND the mess. Because tapping isn't about eliminating the scared parts of you. It's about helping those parts feel safe enough to come with you into the life you're creating. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why your old identity often gets louder right before an expansion The tapping phrase I've relied on for 15 years How EFT can help your nervous system feel safer in uncertainty The difference between forcing your next move and following the deeper nudge What grief has been teaching me about living fully NOW A powerful exercise for meeting the part of you that's afraid of your next level The incredible orca dream I had after seeing an orca totem on Vancouver Island How I've been recognizing signs, synchronicities and support in everyday life Why I believe there are resources, people and opportunities waiting on the other side of your YES I'll also give you three prompts to work with: 1. What is life nudging you toward right now? 2. What part of you is scared to follow that nudge — and what does she need from you? 3. What signs of support can you begin noticing around you? You don't have to know exactly HOW it's all going to happen. Sometimes your job is simply to listen to the deeper and wiser part of you, tend to the parts that are afraid, and take the next step. ✨ TAPPING INTO THE MAGIC Join me September 29th for Tapping Into the Magic,https://jackie-mcdonald.mykajabi.com/offers/bFkNzx4J/checkout a special tapping experience designed to help you move through the fear, uncertainty and resistance that can pull you out of flow — and expand your capacity to receive when life IS working. Whether you're trying to find the magic again or everything is happening for you and you want to expand your capacity to hold MORE, this class is for you.

ASK A QUESTION - TELL A STORY - CONNECT WITH US How do you know when the Holy Spirit is nudging you toward something, and what happens when you actually listen? Josh, Steve, Evan, and Tate share personal stories of unexpected generosity, life-changing conversations, and decisions that led them into ministry. Sometimes the smallest steps of obedience become the moments that change everything. As the conversation continues, the guys unpack what it means to wait, listen, and step into God's calling, even when the next move feels uncomfortable. Plus, Josh puts everyone to the test with a hilarious game of Test the Nudge, where everyday decisions become opportunities to discern whether it's a red flag, yellow light, or green light. Could the thing you're waiting on God to confirm be something He's already asked you to do?

Every weekend, thousands of Brits order takeaways from independent restaurants.  Or do they? Because these independent restaurants aren't actually what they seem.    Pizza Hut, Prezzo, Frankie & Benny's, Las Iguanas and many more chains are rebranding their food on delivery apps to appear like an independent restaurant.  They're exploiting our psychological bias for independent brands and fooling millions of diners.  Find out how in today's episode of Nudge.  --- Watch the Birdbox vs Frankie & Benny's Taste Test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqcZ_5NixfM Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/  --- Today's sources:  Chen, S.

WIND & FIRE “Follow the Nudge: Walking with the Spirit” Acts 16:6–10, Isaiah 30: 21, John 10:27 “God told me.” Ezekiel 13:3, “Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!” John 10:27, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” Key question: How do I know it's Him?   Following the nudge: 1. Slow your Roll: WAIT prevented … did not allow. See Proverbs 16:9, Micah 7:7, and Isaiah 30:21. I need to surrender my good thing to step into God's thing. 2. Train your Ear: LISTEN “My sheep listen to my voice” We're trying to hear God's whisper in a noisy notification world. “That night Paul had a vision”.   3. Test the Nudge: THEN STEP “So WE decided…” “We decided to leave for Macedonia at once…” See Proverbs 12:15, Proverbs 15:22, and 1 Corinthians 14:29. There comes a point when discernment has to become obedience. Start a Nudge Journal: NOTICE. TEST. STEP. REVIEW.

HR2 - Falcons are finally doing certain things to nudge Michael Penix Jr. to play vs. Panthers In hour two Mike, Ali, and Beau continue to react to what Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had to say in his press conference yesterday about how he's progressing from his torn ACL injury and when he could possibly play again for the Falcons, and explain why they think Penix Jr. being too open with the media is now coming back to bite him. Then, Ali tests Mike's and Beau's knowledge with some Throwback Thursday Trivia for the halftime portion of the show! The Morning Shift crew also continues to recap and and react to the Atlanta Braves 8-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs last in Chicago in the final game of their three game series, and then close out hour two by talking about the biggest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle!

He kept promising himself he would fight poverty one day. First at retirement. Then in his fifties. Then his forties. Until the day it felt like he was lying to himself. So one weekend he started cold-calling nonprofits at random, and walked away from a career most people spend their lives chasing.Atul Satija is the founder of The/Nudge Institute, one of India's most ambitious anti-poverty organisations, and the “Founder 2.0” of GiveIndia. Before that, he spent nearly two decades in the front line of the tech industry: Google, then InMobi, where he sat in the room as it raised 200 million dollars from SoftBank and had to make the calls that come with that kind of money. He has pledged half his net worth to giving. He is the person JP wanted to talk to about the single hardest question in social impact: not how to care, but how to make caring actually work at scale.I came to this conversation from my own leap. When I moved from leading teams at Microsoft to building Live for Good, I discovered something that still surprises me: it can be harder to raise a small grant for a good cause than to close an enormous enterprise deal. Atul has lived that gap for years, and he has thought harder than almost anyone about how to close it. What he taught me is that generosity is not enough. You have to engineer it.In our conversation, we explore:→ What extreme poverty actually is: families of five or six living on three hundred dollars a year, and why the loss of dignity cuts as deep as the loss of income→ Why the model that lifts a family out of poverty for good worked everywhere and scaled nowhere, and his answer: shape the state, do not replace it→ The jar, the rocks and the sand: “you don't want to build a parallel railroad, you want to fix what's broken so bigger trains run on the same track”→ Give till it hurts: why the poorest communities give a larger share of what they have than the richest do→ AI seen from the bottom: why, for those who have almost nothing, there is nothing left for it to take“If you're giving what does not change anything in your life, then it is not really giving. You're buying something with some extra money.”Atul Satija, founder of The/Nudge InstituteIf you have ever told yourself you will do the meaningful thing later, once the timing is right, this episode is about the day later stops being an option.

Cam and Otis sit down on the porch in Colorado for an unfiltered family conversation on why leaders get trapped in "firefighter mode"—and how focusing on core fundamentals breaks the reactive cycle.When a team falls behind or faces pressure, the natural urge is to swing for the fences or jump into direct action to fix every emergency yourself.

And, so,gently, September slides into the year, bringing breaths of cool air,the first yellowing leaves,and welcome clarity as we review what we learned in the cauldron and emerge to once again commit to what we know to be true, choosing with trust,determination,and renewed purpose as we look at our lives, at the abundant possibility around us, and settle into the rhythm that nourishes us, that supports us as we both change and thrive. Let us savor the time spent being here in this season of power and plenty.Happy September and welcome to this week's Rituals of Returning newsletter and our September allies as we cross the threshold into a new season! We've updated the shop with some beautiful OOAK goddesses and color experiments as well as Hestia flags and bags. And, we've got our beautiful, powerful, magical ritual kits for Mabon ready as well!September ThresholdsImagine standing at a doorway in your life, a threshold into a new season. By the door there's a basket. You don't have to abandon anything forever. You can simply set a few things down for now.It's okay to put some things in the basket, leave it at the threshold, and step across into what is waiting for you. (If you change your mind, you can always go back and get it later.)Prompt for this week:Name one thing you'd like to “leave in the basket” as we cross into September.Embers for SeptemberIn the threshold meditation I recorded for the Goddess Magic Mystery School with an expanded version of the above, I also invited people to consider their “ember for September.”If you imagine your life as a hearth, then September is not necessarily about building a roaring fire, it can simply be about tending a single glowing coal. It might be an ember of rest, or an ember of creativity, an ember of courage, or an ember of trust.You might name this ember with an intention, a word, or simply a sensation in your body. You might place a candle on your altar and light it once a day. You might notice a moment—a hawk flying overhead, a monarch crossing your path, the smell of apples in the air—and name that as your ember of joyInviting you, too, to consider: What ember am I tending this September?And, then, give that ember what you have: breath, presence, a smile, a few minutes of attention, a hand laid gently on your own heart.Feel free to hit “reply” or to share your thoughts on either of these prompts in the comments section!This week's magic:20 minute video: September's Allies—Replenish with Hestia.I'm celebrating the equinox and a book-aversary and the Kindle edition of Return is on sale until September 15.My poem “the poem I wasn't going to write” was published in the Amethyst Review in June (but I didn't see it until this month).Other new videos:September's activation replay (35 minutes)August's Book of Magic Days flip-through (2 minutes)and, check out the new Wayshowers experience from the Divine Feminine App!

Remember, you are always invited to return. You will forget sometimes. You will scroll too long, over commit, get scattered, and feel frazzled.Remember. The practice isn't perfection; it's returning.Light the candle.Draw the card.Read the poem.Step outside and watch the birds.Blow a kiss to the moon.You are always allowed to come back to your breath, your body, your magic.What helps you nestle back into the real?Currently reading: (to self) Swordheart—my beloved T. Kingfisher coming through for me again with a daring tale of a middle-aged woman and a dashing and seasoned warrior who happens to inhabit the blade of a sword.(to kids): The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking—I have already listened to this one, but I decided to see if T. Kingfisher could come through for my kids as well and break us out of our reading rut. We're doing our best. This one is about a “minor mage” who has power over dough and baking, but finds herself as the last remaining hope of her whole city. (listening to by self) The Raven and the Reindeer—surprise! T. Kingfisher again! This one is based on Nordic folklore and is a retelling of the Snow Queen with some sapphic undertones. About a girl who sets forth to rescue a boy and discovers that perhaps she actually likes girls better than boys. Some Sami folklore and magic are also woven in.side note: Mark is currently reading Nettle and Bone also by…T. Kingfisher. I've already listened to myself and it is a favorite for me! (It is coincidentally this month's book club pick at the local library, which is why I snagged a copy for Mark)(listening to with Tanner) The Magician's Nephew—I could not resist getting the complete Chronicles of Narnia from Audible when I had a credit to use up before cancelling my membership. It is a single credit purchase for 33 hours and THE ENTIRE SERIES as one file. The first is narrated by Kenneth Branagh too, who is doing an excellent job with voice acting it, so it isn't like you got discount/AI narrators for such a bargain either! I'm finding the Christian allegory a lot more heavy-handed than I tuned into as a kid and, of course, I'm also annoyed by the “witch is evil” trope, which feels very tired. However, it also contains some truly excellent understated British humor and I did so love this series as a kid that it remains fun to share it. September's Allies: Hestia, Nettle, Nasturtium, Amethyst, and FoxHestia,Keeper of Cauldron and Flame,bless this hearth, this desk, this sink, this screen,wherever my life is actually happening.Let my small acts of stirring, typing, folding, and feedingbecome prayers of care for myself and the world.Reminder: replenishment begins at the hearth—within yourself and your home—and then naturally extends outward into community.Note: expanded edition with practices and printable companion cards is here.This month's theme is “Replenish.” As you watch and listen, you might consider:What in me needs replenishment?What is ready to be harvested?What is ready to be released?Our guiding presence this month is Hestia, keeper of the sacred flame and goddess of hearth and home.Hestia reminds us that:A house becomes a home when the hearth is tended.The hearth is not just physical—it is the center of your life, your heart, your body, your inner fire.Consider these questions:How are you tending your own hearth space?Does your home—inner or outer—need more attention, care, or love?Has your home become just a place to sleep and change clothes, instead of a place that nurtures you?An affirmation to continue working with this month (inspired by last month's turquoise ally): I call myself home to myself.You might repeat:My home nurtures me.I am allowed to seek and receive replenishment.I am allowed to nourish and nurture myself.As the wheel of the year continues to spin, we find ourselves seeking stability and warmth, reaching out to what will comfort and sustain. May we trust the necessary wisdom of both gathering and releasing. May we have plenty of time to settle back with our tea and the wind. May we know contentment at our hearths and on our paths.May we continue to tend the steady flame within. This is a public episode.

In this episode, we perceive an anguished question put forth, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 327, penned by Marunkoorpaakai Saathan Poothanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands Landscape’, the verse presents a vivid portrait of this domain. ‘இன்பமும் இடும்பையும், புணர்வும் பிரிவும்,நன்பகல் அமையமும் இரவும் போல,வேறு வேறு இயல ஆகி, மாறு எதிர்ந்து,உள” என உணர்ந்தனைஆயின், ஒரூஉம்இன்னா வெஞ் சுரம், நல் நசை துரப்ப,துன்னலும் தகுமோ? துணிவு இல் நெஞ்சே!நீ செல வலித்தனைஆயின், யாவதும்நினைதலும் செய்தியோ எம்மே கனை கதிர்ஆவி அவ் வரி நீர் என நசைஇ,மா தவப் பரிக்கும் மரல் திரங்கு நனந்தலை,களர் கால் யாத்த கண் அகல் பரப்பின்செவ் வரை கொழி நீர் கடுப்ப, அரவின்அவ் வரி உரிவை அணவரும் மருங்கின்,புற்று அரை யாத்த புலர் சினை மரத்த,மைந் நிற உருவின், மணிக் கண் காக்கைபைந் நிணம் கவரும் படு பிணக் கவலைச்சென்றோர் செல்புறத்து இரங்கார் கொன்றோர்,கோல் கழிபு இரங்கும் அதர,வேய் பயில் அழுவம் இறந்த பின்னே? In this trip to this familiar domain, we get to see many different sights, as we listen to the man say these words to his heart, when it insists that he part away with the lady and go in search of wealth: “Knowing fully well that joy and sorrow, togetherness and separation, akin to day and night, are of varying natures and stand opposing each other', is it right on your part to nudge me to leave to those disagreeable and formidable hot drylands, so as to seek wealth, O heart bereft of clarity?! If you were to insist on my leaving, did you even think a little about her state, after I part away to those drylands, where seeing the mirage owing to the deceiving rays of the sun, thinking it's water, animals run around languishing, amidst those wide spaces, filled with saline soil, where even the sturdy hemp withers, and here, akin to thick cascades that descend deftly from tall, red mountains, the beautiful, striped skin, shed by snakes, lie upon towering termite mounds, near which stands a tree with dried branches, upon one of which sits a sapphire-eyed, kohl-hued crow, feeding on fresh flesh, stolen from the corpses of wayfarers, killed by others, who have no care about those who died but worry only about the arrows that they lost, in those bamboo-filled harsh spaces!” Let’s brave the dangers of this domain and learn more! The man starts by accusing his heart of knowing that joy and sorrow, being together and being apart are as distinct as day and night, and yet asking him to give up the former and go do the latter. He pointedly asks his heart whether it thought about what the state of the lady would be if he were to part away. In the final segment, the man takes us to the drylands, filled with mirages that make thirsty animals stumble, so covered in infertile, salty soil that even the sturdiest of flora, the hemp droops down. Then the man concludes by presenting a succession of well-stitched images, first the skin of snakes, lying on termite mounds ,and looking like the cascades descending from high mountains, and near those termite mounds, stands a tree with dried-up branches, and on one branch, sits a crow, feeding on flesh, but that which came from a corpse, felled by highway robbers, who worry not about the death of those wayfarers but only about the arrows they lost in the process! It’s the man’s way of refusing the nudge of his heart to part away from his beloved on the trail of ambition. A unique aspect of this verse is the way the drylands are etched by presenting one element after the other in succession, as in that snake skin lying on the termite mound, a dried-up tree nearby, a crow sitting on the branch of that tree, and feeding on the flesh of wayfarers. This reminds me of the ancient ‘Byobu’ art of the Japanese, wherein they would paint a wide scene on successive panels of a folding screen seamlessly, and which leaves you in the flowing presence of a moment, filled with detail and precision. Different cultures, different art forms but the same beating heart at the core!

Have you ever finished a book you dislike just to say you've finished it? Have you loaded up Duolingo at 11:55pm to keep the streak alive? Have you felt the crushing disappointment of realising you forgot to record your run for Strava?  If so, metrics might be controlling your life. And philosopher C. Thi Nguyen, my guest on today's episode of Nudge, thinks that's a problem. Nguyen believes that our lives are increasingly organised around metrics and that these rankings don't just track what we value. They replace it.

I have worn more labels than I care to admit, some earned, many borrowed, and a fair few accepted far too readily. Looking back, I can see they only became powerful because I wove their meaning into the fabric of who I believed myself to be. That quiet habit can keep we introverts living inside identities that expired years ago. This episode explores why letting go is rarely about denying the past and much more about making room for the person you have already become. After all, there is little sense squeezing into a version of yourself that no longer fits.   Key Points

Chelsea Baugh returns for her third conversation on Case Studies, this time as a recent BYU MBA graduate, mother of five, and the one running the Baugh Family Foundation and family office. In this episode of Case Studies, Chelsea traces the winding path that led her back to school at forty, from a spiritual nudge to write scripture study posts, to a rejected application, to an unexpected pivot into business.She talks candidly about imposter syndrome, rewriting her own story, and why motherhood may be the best leadership training there is. The conversation turns to marriage, twenty-one years of it, and the quiet discipline of staying close through disruption.Chelsea also shares the vision behind Sandlot Impact, the new philanthropic arm she's building inside Sandlot Partners. A conversation about growth, identity, and the courage to jump into the unknown.[00:00] Three Years of Case Studies[00:42] Coming Out of the MBA Fog[03:24] The Spiritual Nudge Toward Growth[06:20] Nicole's Nudge and a Dissertation[08:32] Rejected, Then a New Challenge[11:31] Calling Chad, Chasing Near Eastern Studies[13:33] Pivoting to the MBA[15:22] Rewriting Her Own Story[19:06] BYU, Mike Drake, and a Changed Brain[22:20] Confidence Two Years Later[24:11] Turning 41 and the Puzzle Coming Together[28:36] Twenty-One Years of Marriage[41:08] Twenty-One Years of Motherhood[45:26] Building Sandlot Impact[51:17] The iHub Fellowship and Corbin's GiftThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

To persuade someone, most of us are tempted to use fear.  We tell clients how much they'll struggle if they pick a competitor. We tell our kids how they'll lose TV time if they don't finish their homework. We plead with our partners to kick bad habits by highlighting how unhealthy it's making them.  We all do it; we opt for doom-and-gloom messages baked in fear. But today's guests on Nudge, Elizabeth Dunn and JZ, explain that these messages won't work.  When it comes to persuasion, fear doesn't persuade.  To find out what does, listen to today's episode of Nudge.  --- Access the bonus episode: https://nudge.kit.com/148fd5fb0a  Become an FSB member: https://get.fsb.org.uk/nudge/  Get the book Leave the Lights On: https://amzn.to/3SDr4sX  Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/

When was the last time you actually met you? Not the role you perform for your family, your job, or your community, but the version of you that exists when no one else is watching?   In this week's conversation, I'm talking with playwright and actress Anne Odeke. We talk about why the rigid discipline of adulthood often acts like a clamshell that keeps our real selves hidden and how to find the medicine that helps us open back up. From the accidental path to teaching in flip-flops to her history-making play, Princess Essex, at Shakespeare's Globe, Anne shares why being seen—truly seen—is a fundamental human need.   It's an invitation to stop overthinking your way to a creative solution and start finding the creative oxygen that lets you breathe again.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through curiosity and play.   In this episode, we discuss: The Clamshell Effect: Why we walk around closed off and how to stay open to your own creative aliveness. Jumping into the Fire: Why the sense of discovery is more important than the end result. Princess Essex: The true story of a woman who pretended to be a princess just to be seen for a day. Creative Oxygen: Why finding what makes you feel human is a necessity, not a luxury. Ready to send your inner critic to summer camp for an hour?

In a fairly inconspicuous SXSW podcast, two marketers shook the music industry.  Jesse Coren and Andrew Spelman, two co-founders at Chaotic Good, explained how they make bands go viral.  Their methods shocked people.  Today on Nudge, I reveal how these two marketers use psychological hacks to manipulate the masses and make 'indie' bands mainstream.  --- Become an FSB member: https://get.fsb.org.uk/nudge/ Listen to the Billboard podcast: https://youtu.be/v1rP3cpilkM?si=iF2B9zzMQEZ5tSVb  Listen to the Guardian podcast: https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2026/may/05/fake-fans-fake-buzz-how-your-favourite-band-got-big-podcast  Unlock the Nudge Vaults: ⁠https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults⁠  Join 11,931 readers of my newsletter: ⁠https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/⁠ ---  Today's sources:  Mallinson, D.

In 2007, two Harvard researchers added a splash of balsamic vinegar to beer.  When drinkers knew the beer contained vinegar, they hated it.  But when the researchers told them “this is our MIT brew," the majority loved it.  The study reveals the secrets behind marketing.  On today's episode of Nudge with award-winning science writer David Robson, we explain how good marketing can shape our perception.  Link to the bonus episode: ⁠https://nudge.kit.com/86d3e39845⁠  Become an FSB member: https://get.fsb.org.uk/nudge/ Read the Expectation Effect: https://amzn.to/4dvkb3s  David's website: https://davidrobson.me/  David's Substack: https://davidarobson.substack.com/  ---  Today's sources:  Amar, M., Ariely, D., Bar-Hillel, M., Carmon, Z., & Ofir, C.
