About H.R.
Herbert Raymond McMaster is a retired United States Army lieutenant general and a scholar affiliated with the Hoover Institution. He served as the 25th United States National Security Advisor from 2017 to 2018. Born in Philadelphia, he graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1984 and earned a Ph.D. in American history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996. His dissertation, which was critical of American strategy and military leadership during the Vietnam War, served as the foundation for his book Dereliction of Duty. McMaster participated in military operations including the Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the Gulf War, he commanded Eagle Troop, 2nd Cavalry Regiment in the Battle of 73 Easting. His career has included teaching military history at the United States Military Academy, commanding a cavalry squadron in Germany, and serving as a top counterinsurgency advisor to General David Petraeus in Baghdad. He has held leadership roles at the U.S. Army War College, Fort Benning, and the Army Capabilities Integration Center. McMaster was appointed National Security Advisor in February 2017, while remaining on active duty, and served until his resignation in March 2018. Since then, he has taken on academic and policy roles, including senior fellowships at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He is also the host of Battlegrounds With H.R. McMaster, a platform exploring international security issues.

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.
