Ep. 16 Heriberto Murrieta: La Mentalidad Que lo Llevó al Éxito
Aug 16, 202633 min
Más de 40 años de carrera no llegan por casualidad. En este episodio de Desktime Stories platicamos con Heriberto Murrieta sobre la mentalidad detrás de su éxito. - Habla de tener una vocación clara desde joven, y de no dejar pasar la oportunidad cuando aparece. - Explica por qué la preparación siempre pesó más que el talento. Su fluidez de hoy la construyó poco a poco, con años de práctica constante. - También aborda algo con lo que muchos batallamos: cómo recibir críticas sin que te derrumben. Distingue entre las que suman y las que solo buscan lastimar. - Habla de defender tus ideas sin convertir cada desacuerdo en una pelea, y de la constancia como motor principal: no detenerse hasta concretar una idea, sin obsesionarse con calcular el éxito de antemano. - Cierra con algo que atraviesa toda la conversación: la humildad no como debilidad, sino como base que sostiene todo lo demás. - Esta es una conversación para cualquier persona construyendo su propio camino. - Desktime Stories: historias que despiertan tu potencial de liderazgo y crecimiento. Escúchanos en Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube y donde sea que escuches tus podcasts.

Aug 5, 202635 min
Feeling behind, burned out, or unsure if you’re doing enough? In this episode of Desktime Stories, Mirtle Peña-Calderón shares an honest conversation about creativity, identity, boundaries, grief, food, and learning to trust your own voice. She talks about the pressure many women feel to do everything, the importance of knowing when to pause, and why keeping track of small wins can help us remember that we are still moving forward. From The Book of Awesome Latinas to The Bocadito and Confessions of a Tired Latina, Mirtle reminds us that we do not have to have it all figured out to keep growing — and that we are enough simply for existing.

Ep. 14 Nobody Taught us About Money with Olga Camargo, AIF
Jul 27, 202639 min
At 14, Olga Camargo was asked to translate a financial pitch to her own mother — words she didn't have in Spanish, from a man who stopped looking her mother in the eye. That moment sent her into a 25-year career in financial services. Now CEO of Prosperity Rise Mindset and the first Latina board chair of the Northeastern Illinois University Foundation, Olga breaks down what the industry still gets wrong about Latino families, why Latinas make roughly 70% of family financial decisions, the retirement mistake almost everyone makes at 18, and the advice from her father that pushed her to take the biggest risk of her career.

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.
