Drop-Ins is a podcast from the Office of Student Success in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences and Maxwell School, hosted by academic advisors Molly Clock and Ryan Howlett. The show takes its name from the quick, informal "drop-in" appointments students have with their advisors — short, focused conversations that tackle a student's top questions. The podcast works the same way: bite-sized episodes that open the door to bigger conversations about navigating college. Each episode brings listeners inside the world of academic advising, career planning, and the everyday realities of undergraduate life at SU. Hosts Molly and Ryan are joined by guests from across the university — advisors, deans,faculty, and other campus experts — who share both their professional insight and their own undergraduate stories, from the classes that changed their direction to the worries they carried as students themselves. The show is built around a simple belief: no student should have to figure college out alone, and no one resource holds all the answers. Drop-Ins aims to demystify the systems, offices, and relationships that shape a student's experience — and to make the first step (reaching out, asking a question, walking through a door) feel a little less intimidating. . Drop-Ins is produced by Molly Clock and Ryan Howlett, recorded on the campus of Syracuse University. New episodes are available wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts

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.
