About Diana
Diana Nyad, born August 22, 1949, is an American author, journalist, and long-distance swimmer known for her open water swimming achievements and contributions to media. She first gained national attention in 1975 when she swam around Manhattan in a record time of 28 miles or 45 kilometers. Nyad has authored four books and contributed articles to various publications. She hosted the public radio program The Savvy Traveler and appeared on television shows such as CBS News Sunday Morning and Dancing with the Stars. Additionally, she has been a long-time contributor to public radio programs including All Things Considered and Marketplace. Nyad's notable attempts at long-distance swimming include her 2013 journey from Havana, Cuba, to Key West, Florida, which she claims was a 110-mile swim completed at age 64 after five attempts. She swam without fins or a cage, using a jellyfish suit, shark divers, and electronic shark repellent devices. Her swim was not officially organized or ratified by a sporting association, and later disputes about the accuracy and documentation led to the revocation of Guinness World Records certification. Despite the controversy, her efforts garnered significant media attention, and her life and achievements were dramatized in the 2023 film Nyad, based on her 2015 memoir Find a Way.

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.
