About Michael
Michael Stephen Steele, born on October 19, 1958, is an American politician, attorney, and political commentator. He served as the seventh lieutenant governor of Maryland from 2003 to 2007 and was the chair of the Republican National Committee from 2009 until 2011, making him the first African-American to hold either position. In the 1990s, Steele worked as a partner at the international law firm of LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae and co-founded the Republican Leadership Council, a political action committee emphasizing fiscal conservatism and social inclusivity. Prior to running for public office, he appeared frequently as a political pundit on Fox News and other media outlets. During his tenure as lieutenant governor, Steele chaired the Minority Business Enterprise task force and promoted affirmative action in the corporate sector. He also made an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate in Maryland in 2006, losing to Democrat Ben Cardin. From 2007 to 2009, Steele served as chairman of GOPAC, a 527 organization dedicated to training Republican candidates for state and local elections. Following his term as RNC Chair, he continued his involvement in political commentary and analysis. Since 2011, Steele has contributed as a columnist for The Root and as a political analyst for MS NOW, where he began co-hosting the program The Weeknight in 2025. He is also a Senior Fellow at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. In 2020, Steele endorsed Joe Biden for the presidency, after previously featuring in an advertisement by The Lincoln Project.

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.
