About Gladys
Gladys Maria Knight, born on May 28, 1944, is an American singer and actress renowned for her long-standing musical career. She performed with her family group, Gladys Knight & the Pips, which included her brother Merald 'Bubba' Knight and cousins William Guest and Edward Patten. During her career spanning the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, Knight recorded numerous hits and achieved significant accolades, including seven Grammy Awards. Four of these awards were earned as a solo artist, while three were with the Pips. She is often referred to as the 'Empress of Soul' and has produced chart-topping singles such as 'Midnight Train to Georgia' and 'That's What Friends Are For,' the latter a collaboration with Dionne Warwick, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder. Knight also recorded eleven number-one R&B singles and six number-one R&B albums. In 1989, she performed the theme for the James Bond film 'Licence to Kill.' Her songs 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' and 'Midnight Train to Georgia' were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for their historical, artistic, and significant value. Knight's accomplishments include induction into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame alongside the Pips. She has been recognized by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and has received awards such as the National Medal of Arts and Kennedy Center Honors.

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.
