Scott Mann & Chris White | Own Every Room: How Elite Leaders Influence Anyone, Anywhere
Aug 19, 202653 min
Before Scott Mann walks into any high-stakes conversation…a negotiation with the Taliban, a pitch to a skeptical investor, a hard conversation with someone he loves… he asks himself three questions. Not a script. Not a tactic. Three questions that determine whether the person across from him actually trusts what comes out of his mouth next. Most people skip straight to what they're going to say. Scott and his guest, Chris White, will tell you that's the mistake. Influence isn't won in the words. It's won before you ever open your mouth. That's why I brought both of these guys back on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. Scott is a retired Green Beret who spent decades building trust in combat zones, where influence was the difference between life and death. Chris is a serial entrepreneur and business coach who's watched hundreds of deals die in the room…not from a bad pitch, but from a missing connection. This conversation gets into what actually makes someone trust you, why most leaders are working twice as hard for half the impact, and the discipline both these men say is non-negotiable before you ever try to influence anyone else. In this episode, you'll hear: The three questions Scott runs through before every high-stakes conversation Why real leadership starts with reconnecting with yourself, not managing your image The role of storySELLING in building trust, influence, and business growth The #1 shift that changes how people respond to you almost instantly KEY QUOTES "We follow leaders who are relatable to our pain and relevant to our goals." - Scott Mann "Turn your phone off and ask better questions. Go deeper." - Chris White CONNECT WITH SCOTT Scott's Linktree to all social profiles, podcast, and resources: https://linktr.ee/rooftop_leadership Websites: https://scottmann.com/ https://rooftopleadership.com/ http://theheroesjourney.org/ https://lastoutplay.com/ https://operationpineappleexpress.com/ https://operelief.org/ TEDx Talks: The Generosity of Scars: https://youtu.be/_szAosvdWdM Rooftop Leadership: https://youtu.be/M78sDuehUnk Surrounded on Purpose: https://youtu.be/61eEC1-L6RI CONNECT WITH CHRIS Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coach-chris-white/ Website: https://www.coachchris.io/ NEXT STEPS Listen to the full episode: https://jamesreid.com/scott-mann-chris-white-cuc Want to bring your best home more consistently?

You ever catch yourself thinking… "Why does this keep happening to me?" "I've done everything right, so why do things keep going wrong?" That's not just frustration. That's not just a bad attitude. That's the victim mentality and it's robbing you of your greatness. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. breaks down why the victim mentality isn't an attitude problem and gives you a simple 3-step strategy to flip the script for good. He shares the story of a conversation with a close friend mid-crisis…business tanking, marriage strained, health slipping…and the moment J.R. called him out mid-rant for playing the victim. He also goes back to his own college baseball days at the University of Iowa, where he started ahead of more talented teammates…not because he had more skill, but because he owned his adversity instead of waiting for things to go his way. This episode is about one powerful truth: You're not stuck. You're just forgetting who you are…and what you're truly capable of. So stop asking "why is this happening to me?" and start asking what it's preparing you for. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the victim mentality is an identity issue, not just an attitude problem. The story of J.R.'s conversation with a friend in crisis, and the moment he called him out for playing the victim. J.R.'s own story of walking onto a stacked D1 baseball roster and starting ahead of more talented teammates. What neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman says about framing stress as a challenge, and how it changes your brain chemistry. Dr. Carol Dweck's research on growth mindset, and why it predicts resilience and performance. The story of Joseph in Genesis, betrayed and forgotten, who owned his process and was elevated by God. Romans 5:3-4 and why suffering isn't punishment…it's preparation. The Owner's Lens™, a 3-question Drill to reclaim agency and identity in any adversity. What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Spot the difference between an attitude problem and an identity problem. Reframe adversity as fuel instead of evidence against you. Use the Owner's Lens™ to shift from Perspective to Power to Posture in real time. Refuse to let hard things own you… and start owning them instead. Show up with more resilience and ownership in your career, leadership, and home. KEY QUOTES "When you know you're a warrior in training who is owning the adversity — that adversity becomes your fuel." - J.R. "Pain is part of your process. It's not punishment — it's preparation." - J.R. "It's about refusing to let the hard things own you. It's you owning them! That's the shift." - J.R.

John Gallagher | Unlock the Uncommon Leader Within You
Aug 5, 202647 min
You're hitting every number, checking every box, stacking win after win. So why does it still feel like you're one mistake away from being exposed? That voice in your head keeps whispering the same lies: "You got lucky." "You don't actually belong here." "It's only a matter of time before they see through you." That's Imposter Syndrome talking. And it never works alone…shame is always riding shotgun. These two don't care about your résumé or your results. They specialize in one thing: convincing high-capacity people they're frauds, even while everyone around them is taking notes. Left unchecked, they'll quietly drain your peace and stop your momentum cold. That's exactly why I sat down with John Gallagher, Founder of Growing Champions. John spends his days inside the minds of Fortune 500 executives and elite performers…the ones who look like they have it all together, but are privately wrestling with the same internal battles you are. This isn't a polished, surface-level conversation. It's honest, it's direct, and it's exactly what a lot of you need to hear right now. In this episode, you'll hear: A 3-step framework for breaking out of your head and into decisive action Why even high performers hit walls of self-doubt (and how to push through) How to confront shame head-on and take back the narrative it's written for you The everyday structure that keeps faith, family, fitness, and finances all moving forward together KEY QUOTES "Excellence only happens on purpose... If we haven't put the structure and process or disciplines in place, success will fall backward." - John Gallagher "Diluted focus will lead us to diluted results." - John Gallagher (quoting Rory Vaden) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website: https://coachjohngallagher.com/ Podcast: https://coachjohngallagher.com/podcast/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjohngallagher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachjohngallagher/ NEXT STEPS Listen to the full episode: https://jamesreid.com/john-gallagher-cuc Want to bring your best home more consistently?

You ever catch yourself thinking… "Am I good enough for this?" "Can I really pull this off?" "Can I come through when it matters?" That's not honesty. That's a lie about who's actually in control. And it might be the very thing standing between you and the freedom you're searching for. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. breaks down why self-doubt isn't a confidence problem and gives you a simple 3-step strategy to flip the script for good. He shares the story of a private session with one of his MLB clients…a guy mid-season with sliding stats and spiraling confidence…and the one piece of truth J.R. told him that flipped his entire season. This episode is about one powerful truth: You're not lacking ability. You're lacking faith in the One who gave it to you. So stop trying to control the outcome. Start managing what God already gave you to steward. In this episode, you'll hear: Why self-doubt isn't just a mindset issue, it's a faith issue. The story of J.R.'s private session with an MLB client mid-slump, and the truth that flipped his season. Gideon's story in Judges 6, and how God called him despite his doubt, not because of his confidence. Why God stripped away Gideon's need for control before leading him into victory. The difference between control and management, and why that distinction unlocks freedom. The science behind the 3-step Drill, including metacognition and the psychological flexibility research J.R.'s guests Dr. Adam Wright and Dr. Nick Holton have discussed on the show. The most common mistake high-capacity men make when doubt creeps in, and why chasing full control only feeds it. The 3-step Drill to move from self-doubt to unshakable conviction. What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Spot the difference between doubting your ability and doubting God's calling. Replace the trap of control with the freedom of stewardship. Use the 3-step Drill to move from doubt to declaration in real time. Speak truth over your circumstances instead of letting doubt drive your decisions. Show up with more faith and freedom in your career, leadership, and home. KEY QUOTES "When you doubt your abilities… you're actually doubting the ONE who gave you those abilities." - J.R. "If you're putting in the work… If you're stewarding the gifts and talents and abilities God gave you… Then doubting yourself isn't a humility issue. It's a faith issue." - J.R. "Control is about ownership. Management is about stewardship. And last I checked, we're called to be stewards, not saviors." - J.R.

Tim Lupinacci | Leadership Doesn't Require a Title
Jul 22, 202652 min
You don't need a title to lead. You need a decision. I used to think leadership was something you "got"… a promotion, a corner office, a name on the door. Then I sat down with a guy who built his from nothing. Tim Lupinacci is the CEO of Baker Donelson, a Top 100 U.S. law firm, and the author of Everybody Leads. But before any of that, he was just a guy who decided to show up better… one car ride, one conversation, one small commitment at a time. Today he's leading 1,300+ people and pouring into underserved communities through his nonprofit work. On this episode, he breaks down exactly how that happened…and how it can happen for you too. In this episode, you'll hear: Why your title has nothing to do with whether you're actually leading The myth of "work-life balance" (and what to chase instead) What courageous leadership actually costs How Tim turned around a $500M firm…and finally wrote the book he kept putting off KEY QUOTES "Everybody's a leader." - Tim Lupinacci "Waters never part until your feet get wet… You have to take that step and believe in yourself." - Tim Lupinacci "Work-life integration isn't about balance. It's about harmony." - Tim Lupinacci "Courageous leadership is being confident, out front, unshakable, resilient, adaptable, having a growth mindset, and encouraging others." - Tim Lupinacci CONNECT WITH TIM Book: Everybody Leads (USE code TIMLEADS for a discount) Website (Baker Donelson): https://bakerdonelson.com Website (non-profit): https://everybodyleads.org Linkedin: in/Tim-Lupinacci IG/FB: @timlupinacci NEXT STEPS Listen to the full episode: https://jamesreid.com/tim-lupinacci-cuc Want to bring your best home more consistently?

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).

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.

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.
