The Words You Use Are Shaping Your Body with JJ Virgin
Aug 13, 202615 min
The words you use don't just describe your life. They shape it. And not in a self-help book kind of way. The nervous system reacts to language in real time. Say "duck" and the body flinches. Say "I am diabetic" enough times, and the body listens to that too. JJ Virgin has been making this point for years. She's a four-time New York Times bestselling author, a nutrition and fitness expert, and one of the most respected voices in the health space. But the full weight of what she was saying struck her after her 16-year-old son was hit by a car and ended up in a coma. Doctors gave him a fraction of a percent chance of surviving. JJ refused to accept it. What she did next, and what she believed about it, is the reason this conversation exists.

How Toxin Exposure Turns Into Chronic Disease with Dr. Thomas Levy
Jul 27, 202649 min
According to the CDC, chronic disease is now the leading cause of death worldwide, taking 41 million lives every year. In the US alone, over 60% of adults have at least one, and over 50% have two or more. Dr. Thomas Levy believes that every single one of those diagnoses points back to the same underlying cause. Dr. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and attorney who spent 15 years in adult cardiology before he saw something in a dental office that changed the way he thought about disease. He watched severely ill patients recover after being given properly administered vitamin C, went into the published literature to understand why, and found decades of evidence hiding in plain sight. Since then, he has written 13 books on the subject and been inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame. Mark and Dr. Levy dig into oxidative stress, the toxin sources most people never think about, and why vitamin C matters more than any other supplement on the shelf.

Your Body Loses 90% of Stem Cells Before the Age of 40, Here's Why - Christian Drapeau
Jul 16, 20261h 3m
Stem cells are our body's raw materials. You can look at them as your internal repair system. When you're sick or injured, stem cells help you recover as soon as possible. Unfortunately, by the age of 35, most people lose 90% of their stem cells. That's the reason people in their 40s stop bouncing back from injuries the way they used to, and the reason age-related disease shows up when it does. Christian Drapeau has spent 30 years studying that repair system. He's the founder and chief science officer of STEMREGEN, author of five books, and a researcher who has lectured in more than 50 countries. Christian and Mark get into the history of stem cell research and why the embryonic stem cell debate was mostly noise.

Your Thyroid Might Be the Reason You Can't Lose Weight With Dr. Amie Hornaman
Jul 9, 202658 min
Right now, one in five American households has someone on a GLP-1. Sure, Ozempic and Mounjaro have proven effective in the short run. They do help people lose weight. However, the medication might only be treating the symptom while the real problem goes untreated. And for millions of people, that problem is a broken thyroid. The thyroid controls almost everything. Metabolism, energy, mood, digestion, sleep, hair, and how the body handles stress. When it stops working properly, weight starts creeping up, energy drops, hair thins, and the fog rolls in. And yet, when most people ask their doctor about it, they're told their lab results are normal and to keep doing what they're doing. One of the loudest voices calling this out is Dr. Amie Hornaman. She's the founder of the Advanced Thyroid and Hormone Clinic, host of The Thyroid Fixer podcast, and the author of a brand new book called The Thyroid Fix. Amie has spent her career helping women realize that normal and optimal are two very different things. You can buy her book at https://thyroidfixbook.com/ or on Amazon.

The Four Pillars Behind a Cancer Recovery With Rob René
Jul 2, 202649 min
It all started with a small, seemingly harmless mole on his ankle. Like most, Rob René ignored it. Unfortunately, he kept ignoring it for way too long. By the time he had it checked, it had turned into stage III melanoma and spread to his lymphatic system. If you weren't aware, Rob is the founder of Exodus Strong, a former Division 1 runner, and a returning guest on the show. When he was on last, our focus was fatigue and faith. This time, the conversation is even more serious. The melanoma was only the beginning of Rob's journey. He walks Mark through the heart condition that the diagnosis uncovered. Then, the surgery that nearly killed him ended up saving his life. And, most importantly, the four-pillar recovery system he built after coming out the other side. He calls it the Light Code, and it's also the basis of his upcoming book. You can join the book waitlist at https://lightcodebook.com/.

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.
