Stop Trying to Get Them Sober Until You Know THIS
Sep 28, 202629 min
Send us Fan Mail What if the reason you’re exhausted from trying to help your addicted loved one isn’t because you haven’t tried hard enough… …but because you’ve been using the wrong tool for the stage they’re actually in? In this episode of Get Unhooked , Jason introduces the COMPASS Framework —a practical way to identify where your loved one is in the stages of change so you can stop guessing, reacting, rescuing, threatening, and trying to force progress that isn’t yours to control. You’ll learn how to listen for change talk, evaluate their actions instead of their promises, recognize the difference between relapse and starting over, and identify who is actually carrying the desire for recovery. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to choose one appropriate move based on where your loved one actually is—not where you desperately want them to be. If you’ve been asking yourself: “Should I push harder?” “Should I back off?” “Should I give them another chance?” “Should I set another boundary?” “Do they really want to change?” This episode will give you a framework for answering those questions with more clarity and a lot less chaos. You cannot control whether someone else chooses recovery. But you can learn how to stop letting their addiction control you.

10 Things You MUST Stop Doing If You Want Your Addicted Loved One to Recover
Sep 21, 202635 min
Send us Fan Mail You love them. You want them to get better. And you’d do almost anything to help. But what if some of the things you’re doing to help your addicted loved one are actually making recovery harder? In this episode of the Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs breaks down 10 things NOT to do when you’re trying to help someone you love recover from addiction. This isn’t about blaming families. Most of these behaviors come from fear, exhaustion, heartbreak, and a desperate desire to keep someone you love alive. But over time, rescuing, controlling, lecturing, monitoring, shaming, and protecting someone from the consequences of their addiction can begin to damage the very relationship you need in order to have a healthy influence. Jason shares lessons from both sides of addiction—as a person in long-term recovery and as a family member, treatment provider, and author of Unhooked. You’ll learn why: • Addiction cannot be treated like a moral failure • Trying to control someone’s recovery can pull you into the drama triangle • “Cleaning the fish” doesn’t work if you put it back into the same dirty water • Rescuing someone from consequences can rob them of an opportunity to change • Lecturing often creates resistance instead of motivation • Shame rarely produces healthy, lasting recovery • Your relationship with your loved one matters more than winning the argument You didn’t cause their addiction. You can’t control it. And you can’t cure it. But you can learn how to stop contributing to unhealthy patterns—and start creating the kind of relationship where recovery has room to grow. If you love someone struggling with addiction and you’re exhausted from trying to figure out what to do next, this episode is for you.

Stop Trying to Fix Your Addicted Loved One—Do This Instead
Sep 15, 202636 min
Send us Fan Mail What if the key to helping your addicted loved one isn’t doing more—but learning when to stop pushing, fixing, and rescuing? In this episode, Jason answers real questions from family members navigating addiction, relapse, broken trust, financial consequences, and the constant fear of making the “wrong” move. He explains why the advice-giver often doesn’t get an honest participant—and how curiosity, empathy, and the right questions can create the kind of relationship where your loved one actually feels safe enough to tell the truth. You’ll also hear Jason unpack the difference between helping and enabling, including what to do when an adult child is facing real-world consequences while trying to get sober. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that your peace does not have to depend on whether your loved one gets sober, takes your advice, or makes the choices you desperately want them to make. You can love them deeply without allowing their addiction to consume your life. In this episode: • Why trying to control addiction often creates more fear, frustration, and disconnection • How motivational interviewing can change conversations with your loved one • Why being curious is often more powerful than giving advice • How to help without rescuing or teaching learned helplessness • When financial support becomes enabling • Why clear agreements and boundaries matter • How to begin rebuilding trust after addiction • The role of emotional sobriety for the entire family • How to find peace even when your loved one isn’t okay Recovery isn’t only available to the person struggling with substances. It’s available to the family too. Support the show Join Jason Coombs LIVE each week for tips and tricks and LIVE Q&A’s. Go to https://www.liveunhooked.com/live-unhooked .

Your Story Isn’t Boring. You’re Just Telling It Wrong. (Here's How)
Sep 7, 202638 min
Send us Fan Mail Why do some stories move people—and others make their eyes glaze over? For years, Jason Coombs thought the problem was his story. Maybe it wasn’t interesting enough. Maybe he wasn’t a natural storyteller. Maybe nobody really cared what he had been through. Then he learned a lesson that completely changed the way he communicates: Write for the reader, not for the writer. In this episode of the Brick House Podcast, Jason breaks down how to turn your lived experience into a story that can actually influence, inspire, and create change. You’ll discover why great storytelling has less to do with natural talent than you think, how the Epiphany Bridge gives your story structure and power, and why the person you’re trying to reach doesn’t need you to be the hero—they need you to be the guide. Jason also shares the story behind writing Unhooked , the mentors who helped him find his voice, and how the story he once believed nobody wanted to hear became one of his most powerful tools for helping others. If you’ve ever thought, “I know I have something valuable to say, but I don’t know how to make it land,” this episode is for you. Your story may already have everything it needs. You just need to learn how to use it. Support the show Join Jason Coombs LIVE each week for tips and tricks and LIVE Q&A’s. Go to https://www.liveunhooked.com/live-unhooked .

What I Wish Someone Told Me Before My First 4 Rehabs
Aug 31, 202644 min
Send us Fan Mail Getting sober is important. But what if getting sober isn’t actually the goal? In this episode, Jason Coombs shares what he believes was missing during his first several attempts at recovery—and why simply telling someone to stop drinking, stop using, stop lying, or stop destroying their life often isn’t enough to create lasting change. Because when someone is deep in addiction, sobriety can look less like freedom and more like a life sentence. Jason shares how he approaches conversations with someone who may finally be reaching for help, including why he seeks to understand before trying to convince, how to help someone discover their own reasons for change, and how to begin making recovery attractive. He also dives into: • Why “sober and miserable” can feel worse than being loaded and miserable • The difference between sobriety and emotional sobriety • Why early recovery requires convalescence—not racing to fix everything • How tiny, seemingly unimportant decisions can either pull us toward relapse or build an entirely new life • Why we recover in relationships, not treatment centers • How purpose begins to replace obsession • Why true change is ultimately identity change Jason also shares lessons from his own recovery, including five treatment experiences, rebuilding his life at 31 years old, working at a hot dog stand after rehab, rediscovering old passions, and eventually discovering a purpose in helping other people recover. Recovery becomes different when you stop seeing sobriety as the destination and start seeing it as the doorway. There is a bigger life on the other side.

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.
