How Waste Could Help Solve the World’s Energy Crisis | Ep. 106 [David Goebel]
Sep 9, 202630 minS2
What if one of the world’s biggest waste problems could become one of its most valuable energy solutions? In this episode of Industry Ignited, Dr. Leeanne Aguilar sits down with Dave Goebel, CEO and Founder of EnVerde LLC, to explore how waste streams can be transformed into clean energy and valuable chemical resources. Dave shares his journey from global leadership roles in the oil and chemical industries to building a sustainability technology company focused on waste-to-energy innovation. He explains how catalytic gasification can convert organic waste into syngas and heat, why localized energy systems could play an important role in the future, and why environmental solutions must also make economic sense to achieve widespread adoption. The conversation also dives into scaling clean technology, building strategic partnerships, navigating startup funding, and the resilience entrepreneurs need when they hear “no” far more often than “yes.” https://industryignited.com/ https://www.instagram.com/industryignited/ https://www.facebook.com/industryignited/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/industry-ignited https://open.spotify.com/show/3TX1L5LPr4lt1UtcSpSvlN?si=7037433a58c54162 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/industry-ignited-podcast/id1824619671 https://www.linkedin.com/in/dhgoebel/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/enverde-llc/ #podcast #podcastinterview #podcasts #podcastclips #podcastlife #industryignited #drleeanneaguilar #davidgoebel #innovation #technology

How One Failed Product Changed the Way She Built Her Business | Ep. 102 [Anu Luthra]
Aug 13, 202627 minS2

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.
