Finders to Builders - A UX Research Show
<p>The difference between doing research and building a research practice is the difference between going to the gym once every few months and actually getting fit. One-off studies won't create lasting impact. A practice is an intentional, continuous investment — a system that captures, connects, and applies knowledge to drive better decisions. I cover the three pillars (culture, infrastructure, communications), and the signs that tell you it's time to build the thing properly.</p><p>(00:11) Research vs Practice(00:44) Sporadic Research Pitfalls(01:55) Gym Analogy Momentum(03:02) What a Practice Looks Like(03:54) Three Pillars Framework(05:39) Signs You Need Practice(07:59) Buy In and Scaling(09:21) Co...

<p>Researchers often over-index on rational arguments, assuming clear findings will drive action. But decisions are also shaped by emotions and organizational dynamics — political, personal, and power pressures that influence how stakeholders respond. Instead of blaming stakeholders for "not getting it," we should research and empathize with them the way we do with users, and frame recommendations within their context. When stakeholders feel understood, trust builds and decisions become easier.</p><p>(00:11) Decisions Drive Research(00:43) Myth of Pure Rationality(01:54) Why Stakeholders Push Back(02:24) Research Your Stakeholders(03:41) Politics and Pressure Factors(04:33) Frame Recommendations for Context(05:55) Communication Builds Trust(06:32) Facts Plus Emotions(08:02) Re...

<p>PMs, designers, marketers, and others are increasingly leading research in organizations that don't have dedicated researchers. My three tips: align on and protect a fixed research capacity, make research usable across the organization, and build with the expectation that someone may later take it to the next level.</p><p>(00:56) Research Audience Shift(04:11) AI and Layoff Impact(06:21) Reframing Podcast and Book(07:11) New Challenges for Roles(08:00) Tip 1 Protect Time(09:32) Tip 2 Share Research(10:35) Tip 3 Build for Future(11:45) PWDR Mindset Shift</p>

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
