Welcome to nohacks.show, a weekly podcast where smart people talk to you about better online experiences! This week, we’re delighted to welcome Jon MacDonald back to the show for his third appearance. Jon is the founder of the digital optimization firm, The Good, and a three-time book author.

In this episode, Jon dives into the concepts presented in his latest book, “Behind the Click,” which focuses on the psychological principles behind the decisions we make online every day. He shares his expertise on why understanding the ‘why’ behind user actions is crucial for truly effective digital experiences, moving beyond mere conversion tactics to strategies that respect and enhance the customer’s journey.
