What Wine, Painkillers, and Pricing Taught Me About Influence

Share the goodness!

What do wine tastings, painkillers, and pricing psychology all have in common?

More than you think.

In this episode of Amanda’s Playbook, I break down two surprisingly simple studies that reveal how price shapes perception, how it influences expectation, and why this matters more than ever for anyone building a premium brand, product, or service.

You’ll learn:
✔️ Why pricing isn’t just financial—it’s emotional
✔️ The psychological principle behind “premium perception”
✔️ How to use price as a storytelling tool, not just a revenue lever
✔️ What happens when your experience doesn’t match your price
✔️ How to build trust and desire through intentional pricing

If you’re a creator, founder, marketer, or service provider who wants to raise your rates without losing trust, this one’s for you.
