**Jackson:** Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized podcast from BeFreed! I'm Jackson, and I've got to say, I'm genuinely excited about today's topic because it's something that affects literally every decision we make.
**Eli:** And I'm Eli! Jackson, you're absolutely right-we're diving into cognitive bias today, and honestly, this might be one of the most eye-opening conversations we'll have. I mean, we're talking about the hidden puppet strings that control our thinking without us even realizing it.
