Obey First, Understand Second: The Creed of World Cup Dad
Sep 15, 20261h 7m
Obey First, Understand Second: The Creed of World Cup Dad Our guest this week, Zach Duke, has lived a life with a winding path. From an eighth-generation Indiana farm kid to a college football player and missionary, Duke thought he knew his calling—until years of chronic illness left him believing his best days were behind him. Then his audacious act of faith pursuing soccer, a game he had never even played, gave him his purpose back. His pursuit of playing in the World Cup is a remarkable story of faith, discipline and discovering his crucible didn't happen to him, but for him.

The Adviser Every Leader Needs
Sep 8, 202644 min
The Adviser Every Leader Needs Queen Elizabeth I once said of one of her closest advisers. Lord Burghley, that “you will not be corrupted with any manner of gifts, and ... you will be faithful to the state.” Those are pretty strong words of endorsement, especially coming from a monarch. This week, in the latest episode of our series within the show, More Stories from the Book Crucible Leadership, Warwick unpacks why Elizabeth thought so highly of and relied so much on Burghley — and how he handled his role with complete dedication to the queen's mission, not to his own aspirations. Theirs in a textbook example of what it takes to be a good adviser, and what it takes for a leader to trust a good adviser.

Five Lessons for Getting Back to a Better Future
Sep 1, 20261h 16m
Five Lessons for Getting Back to a Better Future Moving forward after a crucible with conviction, even when you're uncertain you'll be successful, is just one of five key truths for overcoming setback and failure we discuss today in our big-picture look at the lessons we learned from our recently completed summer series, BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA. We suggest you grab a pen and some paper so you can jot down each of the points we unpack, because when taken together they form a succinct roadmap for the critical steps necessary to move from your worst day to your greatest opportunity.

BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA VIII The Martian
Aug 25, 20261h 8m
BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA VIII The Martian The Red Planet may not wind up fearing astronaut Mark Watney's botanical expertise, but his science skills — and his creative ways of applying them to overcoming being stranded on Mars — impress NASA and a watching world when a mission crucible leaves him stuck there with little chance of getting back to earth ... or even surviving. This week, in the eighth and final episode of our special summer series BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA, we look at the ingenuity, determination and sense of humor that propel Watney through and past not just his worst days — but his worst months and years, too. How can understanding how he overcomes these challenges help you overcome your own? Stay tuned. Want to explore our three prior summer series about the lessons we can learn about overcoming crucibles from film.

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.
