Stop Chasing, Start Choosing: How to Create Demand That Lasts from Daniel Priestley
About this episode
What does it really take to be oversubscribed—to have more demand than supply, on purpose? In this deep-dive with bestselling author and entrepreneur Daniel Priestley, we unpack the strategy behind creating demand-and-supply tension, building “with or without you” energy, and designing an official capacity that protects your customer experience (and your margins). We cover why great brands market before they launch, how to collect signals not sales (waitlists, applications, discussions) to manufacture demand ethically, and the four-phase cadence—planning, build-up, transparency, release—that turns interest into sold-out outcomes. Daniel breaks down niche vs luxury, pricing power (Rolex vs airlines), why “sold out” is a feature, not a bug, and how many businesses would earn more with fewer customers by focusing on the 10% who hold 60% of the spend.
You’ll hear real examples (Glastonbury registrations, Ferrari applications, CrossFit communities, Esther Perel’s premium positioning), plus practical math for working backwards from your ideal year to the conversations you need to create. We also hit mindset: redefining success across life stages, leading with integrity, and running campaigns a few times a year instead of marketing 24/7. If you want to launch better, price smarter, and create demand that lasts—this one’s for you.
