About Sam
Samuel Dale Brownback, born on September 12, 1956, in Garnett, Kansas, is an American attorney, politician, and diplomat. He has served as a United States senator from Kansas from 1996 to 2011 and as the 46th governor of Kansas from 2011 to 2018. Brownback is a member of the Republican Party and has held various significant roles in government and diplomacy. He earned a degree in agricultural economics from Kansas State University in 1978 and a J.D. from the University of Kansas in 1982. Before entering politics, he worked as an attorney in Manhattan, Kansas, and served as Kansas's Secretary of Agriculture, appointed in 1986 by Democratic governor John W. Carlin. Brownback ran for Congress in 1994, defeating Carlin in the general election, and served one term representing Kansas's 2nd congressional district. In 1996, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in a special election, succeeding Bob Dole, and was re-elected in 1998 and 2004. He ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 but withdrew before the primaries and endorsed John McCain. In 2010, Brownback opted not to seek reelection to the Senate and was elected governor of Kansas. His tenure included significant tax cuts known as the Kansas experiment, which resulted in budget shortfalls and budget cuts in education and transportation. He also took stance against the Affordable Care Act and implemented legislation related to abortion. Brownback was narrowly re-elected in 2014 amid political opposition. In 2017, the Kansas Legislature repealed his tax cuts, leading to increases enacted over his veto. On July 26, 2017, Brownback was nominated as the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom by the Trump administration. Confirmed in January 2018, he resigned as governor effective January 31, 2018, and was sworn in as ambassador on February 1, 2018, serving until January 2021.

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.
