DON'T QUIT: A Collection of Life-Changing Lessons
Aug 16, 202621 minS1
In this special compilation episode of If You Can, we're bringing together the moments and mindset lessons that have stuck with us most - on fear, resilience, stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks, and why stress might just be your superpower. Featuring insights from Daren Parr, Jack Jarvis, Vicki Anstey & Jamie Buchanan-Dunlop. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust. It means a lot to have partners who care about the journey, not just the outcome and I’m really proud to have them alongside me on this one. Discover Bob...

Episode #31
The Man Who Walked Across Antarctica Twice | Louis Rudd
Aug 9, 202625 minS1
Louis Rudd MBE is the first person in history to walk across Antarctica twice. A former SAS soldier with 34 years of military service who's turned polar exploration into one of the greatest feats of endurance the modern world has seen. In this episode, Louis opens up about joining the Royal Marines at 16 despite everyone telling him he wouldn't make it, passing SAS selection at 22 against far more experienced candidates, and the brutal two-and-a-half-month race to the South Pole with Henry Worsley that nearly broke him before it made him. We talk about the "dark arts" of polar travel, the shock of standing alone on the Antarctic ice for the first time, and what it really takes to build self-belief when everyone around you says no. If you've ever needed proof that resilience isn't something you're born with - it's something you build - this is one of the most powerful conversations we've ever recorded. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust. It means a lot to have partners who care about the journey, not just the outcome and I’m really proud to have them alongside me on this one. Discover Bob...

Leading Through Crisis as a British Diplomat | Nikesh Mehta
Aug 2, 202630 minS1
Nikesh Mehta OBE is His Majesty's British High Commissioner to Singapore — one of the UK's most senior diplomats, with two decades spent navigating conflict zones, counter-terrorism, and crisis leadership from Iraq to South Korea. In this episode, Nick shares how the son of immigrant parents ended up representing Britain on the world stage — from early self-doubt inside the Foreign Office to senior roles at GCHQ and leading the British Embassy through Covid in South Korea. He opens up about the mentors who shaped him, what it was like leading through the Manchester Arena attack, and the decision-making framework he relies on when the stakes are highest. Whether you're navigating high-pressure decisions of your own or wondering what real leadership looks like under fire, this conversation is full of hard-won lessons from a life spent representing a country — and figuring out who you are while doing it. 0:00 Intro: Meet Nikesh Mehta OBE 0:46 Flipping the script: interviewing the interviewer 3:15 Growing up the son of migrant parents 5:07 Joining the Foreign Office — and early self-doubt 6:58 The Iraq War and life inside counter-terrorism 9:31 Why role models matter 10:09 The UCL mentor who changed his path 13:32 A word from Bob 14:32 Working alongside the UK's top intelligence figures 15:33 Leading through the Manchester Arena attack 18:56 Copilots in leadership: trust and empowering others 21:34 How to make high-stakes decisions under pressure 24:57 Representing your country — and advice for young leaders 25:46 Taking risks in a world built for conformity 27:43 Everyday Hero: Chloe's brother Sam I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can.

The Firefighters Who Skied to the South Pole | George & Bex
Jul 26, 202652 minS1
Firefighters George Gilbert and Rebecca "Bex" Openshaw-Roe became the first team to ski a new, unsupported route across Antarctica to the South Pole, completing the 52-day, 10-hour, 30-minute expedition after four years of fundraising setbacks, doubters, and a shrinking team. In this episode they take us from Pen y Fan to the bottom of the world: George's nearly 28 years as one of the only women on her fire station, Bex's leap from professional athlete and PE teacher into the London Fire Brigade at 37, and the whiteout storm on the Antarctic plateau that very nearly ended the expedition in its second week. It's a conversation about turning doubt into fuel, why fear might be the closest thing to a superpower, and what it actually feels like to reach the South Pole after five years of chasing it. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust. It means a lot to have partners who care about the journey, not just the outcome and I’m really proud to have them alongside me on this one. Discover Bob...

The Psychology of Happiness Explained | Stephanie Davies
Jul 19, 202630 minS1
Stephanie Davies is a Laughter Psychologist, stand-up comedian, Author, and one of the UK's leading experts on happiness, resilience, and human behaviour. Long before wellbeing became a buzzword, Stephanie was helping people understand the science behind happiness. Over the last two decades, she's worked with organisations including HSBC, Virgin, O2, Nespresso, and First Direct, helping leaders and teams build healthier, happier, and higher-performing workplaces. In this episode, Stephanie explains why so many of us are chasing happiness in the wrong way, why laughter is far more powerful than we realise, and how small changes in our thinking can have a huge impact on our wellbeing. The conversation explores stress, resilience, confidence, burnout, workplace culture, and why happiness isn't about avoiding difficult emotions—it's about learning how to respond to them. If you've ever wondered how to be happier, manage stress more effectively, or build a more resilient mindset, this episode is packed with practical insights you can start using today. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust.

FAQs

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.
