👤 About the Guest
Dr. Ruchir Puri is IBM Fellow and Chief Scientist at IBM Research. He’s a master inventor with 70+ patents and decades of leadership in scalable AI, chip innovation, and open-source contributions. From Watson to watsonx, he’s been shaping the AI landscape for decades — and he’s not slowing down.
Inside This Episode In Part 2, Ruchir unpacks the macro forces shaping AI — from Jensen Huang’s bold prediction to IBM’s leadership in open-model ecosystems and the emerging blueprint for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

✨ Updated April 1, 2025
What do Tickle Me Elmo, bourbon, and Taylor Swift tickets have in common? Scarcity. 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.

Welcome back to Making Data Simple, where we explore how data-driven strategies ignite innovation and transform businesses. In this exciting episode, we sit down with Marco Rota, VP of Strategic Technology Alliances at Lumen Technologies, whose incredible journey spans from the glitz of Hollywood to leading-edge telecommunications. Tune in as Marco reveals how embracing a vibrant culture, drawing on lessons from the entertainment industry, and championing new technologies can propel teams and organizations to new heights of success. Get ready for an inspiring, behind-the-scenes look at how “culture eats strategy for breakfast”—and why that’s a game-changer for your organization, too!
- 01:47 – Meet Marco Rota
Marco shares his background and how his career path took him from the dynamic world of Hollywood to a leadership role at Lumen Technologies. He underscores his passion for storytelling, collaboration, and innovation—elements that continue to shape his work in tech. - 03:35 – Learnings from Hollywood
Drawing on Hollywood’s fast-paced environment, Marco highlights the importance of creative thinking and adaptability. He explains how these traits help push organizations to stay ahead of disruption and continually evolve, just like the film industry does to meet audience demands. - 10:56 – Transitioning to Lumen Technologies
Marco describes his shift from entertainment into the telecommunications and technology space. He emphasizes the parallels between Hollywood and tech—both thrive on communication, audience engagement, and cutting-edge production processes. - 15:55 – What IS Lumen Technologies

An organization’s culture can be its greatest asset—or its biggest hurdle. Culture “eats strategy for breakfast” because fostering collaboration, trust, and continuous learning is what truly drives successful technology initiatives forward. - 24:20 – The Management System
Marco talks about the framework for leadership and team alignment at Lumen, which integrates vision, purpose, and measurable goals. This system ensures that cultural values and strategic objectives reinforce each other—resulting in cohesive, energized teams ready to tackle the biggest challenges in tech.

This is always a good interview; an interview from last year with Dr. Mindy Weinstein discussing how we try to reach humans through digital marketing, and the power of scarcity. I am reminded of this concept every time I look at the resell price of Taylor Swift tickets.
Marketing : The Power of Scarcity with Mindy Weinstein, Founder and CEO of Market MindShift, Marketing instructor for Grand Canyon University, Columbia Business School, and Wharton. "Trying to reach humans" through digital marketing. Original episode season 7 Episode 5.
- 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 Four types of scarcity
- 20:41 Bourbon scarcity
- 21:47 Businesses leveraging scarcity
LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mindydweinstein
Website: https://www.persuasioninbusiness.com/book, https://www.marketmindshift.com/
Summary of Dr. Weinstein's book:
Drive revenue and grow your business by using the powerful concept of scarcity
Scarcity isn't just one of the key principles of influence, it's arguably the most powerful―invoking the kind of primal instincts that were essential to our ancestors' survival. It's also the explanation for why, in the mid-1990's, $29.99 Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls were being scalped for $7,000 apiece.
And yet, for all its power, scarcity is a principle that's little understood, even as it's frequently employed in sales and marketing campaigns. Research on scarcity is published mainly in academic journals, not easily accessible to the mainstream public, and often written from an economic, rather than psychological, point of view.
In The Power of Scarcity, Dr. Mindy Weinstein leverages her deep expertise in both marketing and psychology to reveal how this influence principle can be used to boost sales, win negotiations, spark action, develop community, build customer loyalty, and more. As a digital marketer and doctor of philosophy in psychology, she brings both practical and academic insights to explain the psychology behind scarcity, why it has such an immense impact on decision making, and how, used correctly and ethically, it can influence the people who buy your products or services.
In these pages, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why and how scarcity works in business, and specifically how different types of scarcity messages―supply related, demand related, time related or limited edition―affect our brains. You'll see it in action from multiple perspectives, through case studies, research findings, and eye-opening interviews with current and former executives (from brands that include McDonald’s, Harry & David, and 1-800-Flowers), as well as real-life customers' firsthand experiences.
For anyone involved in sales and marketing today, The Power of Scarcity is a rare find, combining the best research on the subject as well as hands-on, tactical ways to apply the psychology behind it to knowledgeably harness that power to bolster your business.

Between 2012 and 2015, one in five of Axis Backup’s clients was hit by cybercrime. Greg realized effective cyber security could save businesses from costly downtime and compromised systems. In 2015, Axis Backup was acquired by J2 Global, freeing Greg to create CryptoStopper and focus exclusively on cybersecurity.

This week on Making Data Simple, we have Davit Buniatyan. Davit is founding CEO of Activeloop, he started his PhD at Princeton University, his research involved reconstructing the connectome of the mouse brain. In this research he dealt with large-scale unstructured data which was extremely expensive (amounting to millions of dollars) to manage. Later on, he realized that this problem is a real pain point, not only in the lab setting but also for many companies across industries. This made him think of a radically more efficient, and a machine-learning native way to work with data. The idea of changing how an ML team can create and manage datasets got him into Y Combinator, where he started Activeloop, a startup that has attracted the investment of prominent Silicon Valley VC firms and angel investors, and the attention of the open-source community, with the framework trending number 1 in Python on GitHub worldwide earlier this year.

This week on Making Data Simple, we have Alex Watson. Alex was previously a GM at AWS and is currently a Co-Founder at Gretel.ai. Gretel is a privacy startup that enables developers, researchers, and scientists to quickly create safe versions of data for use in pre-production environments and machine learning workloads, which are shareable across teams and organizations. These tools address head-on the massive data privacy bottleneck--which has stifled innovation across multiple industries for years—by equipping builders everywhere with the ability to create quality datasets that scale.
In short, synthetic data levels the playing field for everyone. This democratization of data will foster competition, scientific discoveries, and the inventions that will drive the next revolution of our data economy.
The company recently closed their series-A funding, led by Greylock, for another $12 million and brought Jason Warner, the current CTO for GitHub, on as an investor. Gretel also launched its latest public beta, Beta2, which offers privacy engineering as a service for everyone, not just developers.

This week on Making Data Simple, we have Ahmed Elsamadisi. Ahmed started his career at Cornell’s Autonomous Systems Laboratory focusing on human-robot interaction and Bayesian data fusion as well as building algorithms for autonomous cars. He then joined Raytheon to develop tactical AI algorithms for missile defense, four of which are still in use today by the US Military. Eventually he moved on to Raytheon’s Advanced Technology division to focus on building human exoskeletons--like the Iron Man suit but made of rubber because it’s way more energy efficient and not a fictional concept ignoring proper scientific practices-- and algorithms for adaptive decision making.
In 2015 Ahmed joined We Work, and over the next two years Ahmed built We Work’s standard data infrastructure and grew its data team from one to forty Data Engineers and Data Analysts.
After implementing a single time series table data model at We Work and seeing the immediate results, Ahmed wanted to figure out a way to bring this new found knowledge to the world. Ahmed founded Narrator to allow startups to leverage this new approach, ask questions, understand customer behavior, and analyze data across all their systems from a simple Universal Data Model.
