And in the world of marketing, it's one of the most powerful forces you can harness. This week, we’re throwing it back to one of our most insightful interviews — a conversation with Dr. Mindy Weinstein , Founder and CEO of Market MindShift , marketing professor at Grand Canyon University, Columbia Business School, and Wharton , and author of The Power of Scarcity . We dig into: The psychology behind scarcity and why it drives us to act now The four types of scarcity (you’ll want to write these down!) How top brands — and yes, bourbon sellers — use scarcity to spark action Why "reaching humans" in digital marketing is more nuanced than ever How you can ethically and effectively use scarcity to boost business results 📚 About the Book: In The Power of Scarcity , Dr. Weinstein combines her background in marketing and psychology to break down how scarcity messaging influences decision-making — and how you can leverage it to drive revenue, deepen loyalty, and create urgency without manipulation . With research, real-world examples, and interviews from brands like McDonald’s and 1-800-Flowers, it’s a must-read for anyone looking to up their marketing game. 📌 Timestamps: 01:41 Meet "Marketer" Mindy Weinstein 04:42 Technology in Marketing 07:50 One of the top women in digital marketing 09:12 The Power of Scarcity 19:16 The Four Types of Scarcity 20:41 Bourbon Scarcity 21:47 Businesses Leveraging Scarcity 🧠 Connect with Dr. Weinstein: 🔗 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mindydweinstein 📘 Book: persuasioninbusiness.com 🌐 Website: marketmindshift.com 🎧 Originally aired: Season 7, Episode 5 Want to be featured on Making Data Simple ?
