Ep. 205 How She Built A VA Business With No Monthly Minimums with Julia Bernzott
Sep 29, 202639 min
What if the biggest barrier to getting help in your business isn't finding the right person, but finding someone who understands your reality as a small business owner? Julia Bernzott discovered this firsthand when she couldn't afford the high minimums most virtual assistant companies demanded. Her solution was revolutionary: create a VA service with options as low as two hours per month. Julia's journey from mineral makeup entrepreneur to founder of Breathe Easy Virtual Office Assistant LLC reveals how she built a thriving business by removing the traditional barriers that keep small business owners stuck doing everything themselves. Through her innovative approach of starting clients hourly with no commitments, Julia has created something rare in the VA world: genuine flexibility that matches the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurship. Her emphasis on Zoom calls over emails, US-based assistants, and treating each client relationship as a partnership has built a referral-based business that thrives on trust. You'll discover why her 'test it out' philosophy works better than rigid contracts, how she handles the chaos of varying client needs, and the mindset shifts that helped her embrace the natural ebbs and flows of business ownership.

Sep 22, 20261h 5m
What happens when a salon owner discovers that his clients are paying $55 for McDonald's delivery while complaining about a $10 haircut increase? Sal Patane, co-founder of Le Reve Salon and Spa, returns to share the brutal realities of running a small business in today's economy where everything costs more but customers expect the same prices. From navigating 30% product cost increases to watching clients choose convenience over connection, Sal reveals why the businesses that survive the next decade won't be the ones chasing the lowest price. He breaks down the real math behind service pricing, explains why transparency beats defensiveness every time, and shares how his team handles everything from geopolitical conversations to clients screaming at each other in salon chairs. This isn't just about the beauty industry - it's about the fundamental shift happening in how we value relationships, expertise, and authentic service in a world where AI and convenience culture are reshaping consumer expectations.

Ep. 203 What Makes Some Podcast Guests Unforgettable (And Others Instantly Forgettable)
Sep 15, 202649 min
What makes some podcast guests instantly memorable while others are quickly forgotten? It's not their credentials or expertise-it's how they show up in the conversation. In this revealing solo episode, Olivia pulls back the curtain on what really happens during podcast interviews, exploring the psychology of great conversations from both the host and guest perspective. She reveals why curiosity beats preparation, how listeners detect authenticity within seconds, and the subtle behaviors that either build trust or create disconnection. Through insights from neuroscience and communication psychology, you'll discover why the most powerful podcast moments happen when someone shows up to participate rather than perform. Olivia shares the specific patterns that quietly frustrate hosts, the trust signals that make conversations memorable, and how podcast appearances can become relationship-building opportunities instead of one-time marketing moments. Whether you're a current podcast guest or considering stepping into the interview chair, this episode will transform how you approach meaningful conversations.

Ep. 202 What It's Really Like To Remember Every Day Since Age 6 with Frank Healy
Sep 8, 202632 min
Imagine remembering not just what happened on any given day for the past 60 years, but exactly how you felt during each moment. Frank Healy doesn't have to imagine it because he lives it every day through a rare memory condition that affects fewer than 100 people worldwide. What started as a burden that made him relive every painful moment has become his greatest asset in helping others heal from their past and achieve success without sacrificing their peace. Frank's journey from being overwhelmed by decades of emotional memories to mastering the art of choosing which thoughts get space in his mind reveals secrets about healing that most people never discover. This isn't just another conversation about letting go of the past, it's a masterclass from someone who literally cannot forget and has learned to thrive anyway. Frank shares the exact moment he realized not everyone could do what he does, the mental techniques he developed to stop giving bad memories airtime, and why he believes the key to stress-free success lies in flexibility and moving your own finish line. You'll walk away with practical tools for managing difficult emotions and a completely new perspective on what it means to control your thoughts rather than letting them control you.

Former MLB Player Dan Winkler didn't just survive that moment-he turned it into his greatest comeback story.

But nothing prepared him for the sound of his elbow shattering on live television, or the mental battle that followed. What he did next will completely shift how you think about resilience and reinvention. In this raw conversation, Dan reveals the exact mindset that carried him from that devastating injury to pitching 180 more games, and how he's now using those same principles to help business owners secure their financial futures. You'll hear the visualization techniques that still give him chills, the identity crisis that nearly broke him, and the surprising lesson about asking questions that transformed his entire approach to connecting with people. This isn't just a sports story-it's a masterclass in rebuilding yourself when everything falls apart. Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

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.
