Friends on Purpose is a conversational podcast about the strange, funny, and surprisingly meaningful experience of being a person. Through personal stories, curious questions, games, thought experiments, and plenty of tangents, Eric and Elaine explore the things that shape how we see ourselves and the world around us—from childhood memories, movies, humor, and friendship to identity, belonging, purpose, and the mysteries of being alive. The show isn’t about giving advice or arriving at definitive answers. It’s about two friends taking ordinary subjects seriously enough to discover something unexpected in them, while never taking themselves too seriously along the way. At its heart, Friends on Purpose is about life, love, and finding purpose—not by pretending to have it all figured out, but by being curious enough to keep talking about it.

A Novel Kind of Healing

What if the books you’ve been told are “guilty pleasures” are actually good for you? This week, Emily joins us as our resident smut expert to explain how romance novels can reduce stress, build emotional resilience, and even help readers reclaim parts of themselves after trauma or purity culture. Along the way, we explore popular subgenres, beloved tropes, the five-chili-pepper spice scale, and why a happy ending is nonnegotiable. We also discover that demons may be misunderstood, stalkers can apparently be romantic, and four sentient wheels of cheese deserve love too. Come for the smut, stay for the character development.
What if you’re not a dog person simply because you haven’t met the right dog yet? Fresh from the Smarty Pants Party, Eric and Elaine welcome winning presenter Sarah to explore the remarkable bond between dogs and humans, a relationship shaped over tens of thousands of years. From ancient burials and puppy eyebrows to emotional support and dog voices, they uncover how deeply our two species have evolved alongside each other. Along the way, Eric confronts his own complicated history with dogs and wonders whether there might still be a four-legged friend in his future.
What if friendship isn’t just good for you, but something your brain actually needs? Eric and Elaine explore the surprising science of friendship, from how holding a trusted hand can quiet the brain’s threat response to why happiness can spread through three degrees of separation. They also examine the physical toll of complicated relationships, how many hours it takes to make a real friend, and why quality matters more than quantity. Along the way, they reflect on their own friendship and discover that being friends on purpose might actually help keep us alive.
What if your body knows more about you than you do? Eric and Elaine dive back into the metaphysical to explore gut feelings, out-of-body experiences, the placebo effect, and the unsettling possibility that the mind has far more influence over the body than we understand. Along the way, they attempt to locate their souls, test how well they can sense their own heartbeats, and once again wander confidently into scientific territory they are wildly unqualified to explain. Beneath all the weirdness is a bigger question: in a world that seems determined to explain everything, have we lost something by forgetting how to wonder? Maybe not knowing is the whole point.

When was the last time an ordinary afternoon felt like an adventure? This week, Eric and Elaine head back to the good old days to revisit the fields, forts, blankies, dead bunnies, and questionable adventures that became part of their personal lore. Along the way, they explore why ordinary places felt like entire worlds, the strange things we believed as kids, and how memory turns everyday moments into mythology. Because the older we get, the longer the walk becomes...and somehow, it was uphill both ways.
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.
