About Ryan
Ryan Clark Crocker is a retired American diplomat who served as a career ambassador within the United States Foreign Service. His diplomatic career includes appointments as the United States ambassador to Afghanistan from 2011 to 2012, Iraq from 2007 to 2009, Pakistan from 2004 to 2007, Syria from 1998 to 2001, Kuwait from 1994 to 1997, and Lebanon from 1990 to 1993.

Crocker's reputation among colleagues is notable; former Secretary of State Colin Powell described him as one of the very best foreign service officers, and President George W. Bush referred to him as 'America's Lawrence of Arabia.' General David Petraeus publicly expressed that it was a great honor to serve alongside him. In January 2010, Crocker assumed the role of dean at Texas A&M University's George Bush School of Government and Public Service, continuing his significant contribution to public service and international affairs.

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.
