About John
John Carl Ortberg Jr. is an American evangelical Christian author, speaker, and pastor. He served as the senior pastor of Menlo Church in Menlo Park, California, an ECO Presbyterian church with more than 4,000 members, for 17 years. Ortberg has authored numerous books; his 1997 publication The Life You Have Always Wanted: Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People sold more than 500,000 copies as of 2008. His 2002 book If You Want to Walk on Water You Have to Get Out of the Boat was a Christianity Today Book Award winner, and his 2008 work When the Game is Over It All Goes Back in the Box received an ECPA Christian Book Award. Additionally, his 2012 book Who Is This Man?: The Unpredictable Impact of the Inescapable Jesus debuted at number 29 on Christian Book Expo's bestseller list. In the summer of 2020, Ortberg resigned from his position at Menlo Church following an investigation into his conduct concerning his son, John III, who had disclosed unwanted attractions to minors and continued volunteer church work with minors after disclosure. Since his resignation, Ortberg has been involved in running a podcast that offers daily Bible devotionals and he frequently speaks at Christian events.

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.
