The Deep State Strategy to Stop World War 3 — Army Veteran Matt Hasty | EP#206
Aug 7, 20261h 39m
Is America actively falling, or are we secretly solidifying our spot at the very top? In this episode of the Coffee with Bearded Bad Dad, host I sit down with 20-year Army veteran and former Congressional candidate Matt Hasty for an unfiltered, wide-ranging discussion on the harsh realities of modern American life, politics, and faith. From the deceptive nature of campaign fundraising and how social media creates dangerous echo chambers, to the hidden grand strategies surrounding Iran, Russia, and China, Matt breaks down the global chessboard with raw honesty. We also dive deep into why a nation needs true civic virtue to survive, the breakdown of our educational system, and how stepping away from core spiritual values has led to a society ruled entirely by emotion rather than logic. Whether you agree with his "hot takes" or not, this long-form conversation provides a masterclass in challenging the status quo and pursuing absolute truth.

Ex-Dem’s Warning: The Threat of Woke America |EP#204
Jul 24, 20261h 1m
In this episode of Coffee with Bearded Bad Dad, I sit down with author Dr. Joel Rakow to discuss his political evolution and his new book, Life in Woke America: A Family Story. The Truth and Betrayal Under Fire. A third-generation Democrat who spent 50 years in the party, Dr. Rakow explains the pivotal moments that led him to walk away, anchoring his decision in the core erosion of individual constitutional values.The conversation expands into a deep dive into modern propaganda, the weaponization of the legal system, and real-world inspirations behind his political thriller—including a controversial secret laboratory discovery in California. Dr. Rakow also previews his upcoming AI-driven tool, the Liberty Index, which scores public figures and institutions on their actual alignment with the U.S. Constitution. From shifting global alliances to the future of American manufacturing and the limits of artificial intelligence, this wide-ranging discussion challenges mainstream narratives and explores what it takes to preserve faith, family, and freedom in a rapidly changing world.Connect with Dr. Joel RakowWebsite: https://www.lifeinwokeamerica.com/The Book: https://a.co/d/0dSgafeB#Politics #WokeAmerica #LibertyIndex #Podcast #ConstitutionalValues #WalkAway #PoliticalThriller #CurrentEvents #USConstitution #AlternativeMedia #AITechnology

Jul 10, 20261h 32m
What if a geneticist decided humans were parasites (p. 1) and rewired our DNA so that nobody lives past age 22? In this episode of Coffee with Bearded Bad Dad, we sit down with Central Michigan commercial insurance agent turned author T.A. Thompson to unpack his brutal, rated-R adult dystopian thriller, The Mark.Thompson shares how his career assessing "worst-case scenarios" inspired a terrifying post-apocalyptic future where society completely collapses because there are no experienced lawyers, doctors, or power plant operators left to run things. We dive deep into his gritty worldbuilding, the five conflicting factions ruling Michigan, and why his bold, 25-year-old protagonist is considered a complete freak of nature.We also take a massive detour into real-world topics, including how AI is killing critical thinking skills in modern teenagers, the insane economics of family trips to Disney World, government spy theories, and why it's cheaper to fly your entire family to Japan than to vacation in Florida.If you love hard-hitting, realistic post-apocalyptic fiction and raw, honest conversations about modern parenting, tech addiction, and life lessons, this episode is a must-watch!Connect with T.A.

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.
