About Bob
Robert Norman Ross was an American painter and art instructor best known for creating and hosting The Joy of Painting, an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS and CBC. Born in Daytona Beach, Florida, Ross joined the United States Air Force in 1961, where he rose to the rank of master sergeant. During his military service, he developed a passion for oil painting after studying Bill Alexander's show The Magic of Oil Painting. His talent in the arts eventually enabled him to earn an income that surpassed his military salary. Upon retiring from the Air Force in 1981, Ross was discovered by Annette Kowalski, who had attended one of his painting sessions while he was working as a tutor. Together with her husband, they helped Ross establish a company called Bob Ross Inc. In 1982, his art class was aired as a pilot, leading to several PBS stations signing up for The Joy of Painting. Ross was employed to host the show starting in 1983, where he instructed viewers on landscape art using a quick, wet-on-wet oil painting technique with a limited palette. The show continued until 1994, a year before Ross's death at age 52. His legacy endures as a cultural icon, with reruns of The Joy of Painting still broadcast today. Although Ross intended to pass his entire body of work to family members, legal disputes resulted in Bob Ross Inc. becoming the proprietor of his name and likeness.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
