Ep. 709 - Disney Fantasy Duo Dip: Castaway Cay + Lookout Cay With Kids
Sep 28, 20261h 1mS7
Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay, then Castaway Cay again. First-time guest Courtney joins us straight from her classroom to talk about her family's five-night Disney Fantasy "Double Duo Dip." It was three private island days with two little kids, a nap after every beach day, and one very determined top-bunk daredevil. In this episode: Why a Castaway–Lookout–Castaway itinerary lets families with young kids spread out the beach time without skipping naps The smallest Fantasy interior stateroom, the first bunk-bed sailing, and the stateroom host who talked Courtney into it Pirate makeovers, a Captain Hook meet-and-greet that created a superfan, and timing naps around Pirate Night The picky-eater verdict on the new Kraft mac and cheese The black truffle pierogies at Animator's Palate Castaway Cay 5K with a jogging stroller, bike rentals, and the missing Lookout Cay 5K medal "My son has talked about Captain Hook nonstop since. He refers to me as Mr. Smee all the time and he thinks he's Captain Hook." — Courtney Connect with Courtney: Courtney is a travel advisor with Kingdom Seekers Travel .

Ep. 708 - Live Bonus Show - Ireland to Alaska: One Family's Late-Season Disney Cruise
Sep 27, 20261h 26mS7
Melissa flew all the way from Ireland for a late-season, adults-only sailing to Alaska on the Disney Wonder — six DCL sailings and nineteen cruises deep, and this one still delivered bears, whales, dueling pianos, and one gut-punch moment from home she wasn't expecting. In this episode: Why a late-September Alaska sailing means an almost entirely adult ship — and everything that changes onboard Chasing bears in Ketchikan and sled puppies at a Juneau dog camp she almost didn't book Real vegan dining tips across the fleet, from crew curries to a Palo brunch workaround The Shutters photo-package trick that can save your travel companions money A Vancouver hotel booking gone sideways, and the lesson in it for third-party bookings A moving, unscripted moment about staying connected to loved ones back home while at sea She's not a DVC member. She doesn't even really know what DVC is, but we always joke she'd be able to talk herself out of Alcatraz... she was sitting there, she already had a drink.

Ep. 707 - The Real Reason Families Keep Coming Back to Adventures by Disney: Featuring an Adventure Guide
Sep 20, 20261 hourS7
We put a single microphone on the table and asked one question: was our Adventures by Disney river cruise through Holland and Belgium actually worth it? What we got back wasn't a travel review — it was four completely different answers about why people travel at all. In this episode: Why one lifelong "pool girl" pushed herself onto a bike through Kinderdijk's 19 windmills — and what she said when it was over The friendship-bracelet trick one traveler uses to turn total strangers into breakfast companions An unfiltered review from a family of six that couldn't agree on whether they even had a good time What a 5-guide, 119-traveler ratio actually buys you on an ABD sailing Two stories from a veteran adventure guide that explain what this job really is A real look at the Holland and Belgium river cruise itinerary "A vacation is where you go to stop. A trip is where you go to go." Support the Show: Book your next Disney vacation with our show sponsor - We Do Travel Right ! Life is short, take the trip.

Ep. 706 - Live Bonus Show -Inside DVC's Member Cruise to Europe on the Disney Dream
Sep 19, 20261h 14mS7
We went live with Benji from LaughingPlace.com to get the full scoop on the 25th Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise — this year sailing Copenhagen, Skagen, and Stavanger aboard the Disney Dream. Turns out it's less D23 spectacle, more "mini D23 at sea," and yes, there's a John Stamos karaoke story. In this episode: Why Benji calls a DVC Member Cruise "a mini D23 at sea." Inside the Norway and Denmark itinerary, including Tivoli Gardens, the Little Mermaid statue, and a castle opera performance. A rare public talk from Imagineer Michel den Dulk, plus a Halloween deck party with Nina West, Susan Egan, and Jodi Benson. The DVC gift and merchandise culture, and Benji's number one packing tip. DVC Member Cruise versus D23: who each one is actually for. "I discovered that it is kind of like a mini D23 at sea." -Benji Book your next Disney vacation with our show sponsor - We Do Travel Right ! Life is short, take the trip.

Ep. 705 - Disney Destiny 5-Night Bahamas: Converting a Reluctant Cruiser
Sep 15, 20261h 26mS7
Rebecca joins us to recap her family's 5-night Bahamian sailing on the Disney Destiny — a true multigenerational trip spanning three connected staterooms: her husband and their two daughters, her in-laws, and her sister- and brother-in-law's family, all sailing together. A crew member told them the ship was close to capacity, with an estimated 1,800 kids on board, but the crowds weren't what made this cruise memorable. In this episode: How they coordinated three connected staterooms across three generations, and the MagicBand glitch that nearly derailed embarkation day Why her husband was a self-described "reluctant cruiser" and what finally won him over The night her mother-in-law unexpectedly ended up a contestant on Match Your Mate, and became a ship celebrity for the rest of the cruise Which rotational dining restaurant was the runaway favorite, and which one missed for their group Castaway Cay versus Lookout Cay: weather, snorkeling, and the beach wagon that saved the day A Marceline Market seating hack for anyone traveling with a big group "The Tiana performer for Almost There brought me to literal tears. She had an amazing voice. She was so good. That to me was worth all of the other songs." Support the Show: Book your next Disney vacation with our show sponsor, We Do Travel Right!

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.
