90 Miles, 12 Marathons and a Bigger Purpose: Nathan Hinckley on Men’s Mental Health
Aug 12, 202621 minS3
At just 21, Nathan Hinckley has already pushed himself further than most of us would ever contemplate, including running around 90 miles in 24 hours and completing 12 marathons in 12 days . But this episode of Inspired Men Talk is about much more than running. Nathan joins Gary Johannes and Peter to talk openly about being bullied over his weight, rejection from football, drinking and partying, and the moment that ultimately led him to discover running and change the direction of his life. Nathan explains how his motivation has changed from wanting to prove himself to other people to wanting to discover just how far he can go and how taking on extraordinary physical challenges has helped him build confidence, find purpose and raise awareness around men’s mental health . He also shares the story behind his 12 Marathons of Christmas , which raised almost £8,000 for the Young Lives Foundation , helping support young people in his local community. It’s a fascinating conversation about rejection, resilience, motivation, mental health, fitness and purpose and a reminder that you don't need to run an ultramarathon to start making a positive change. How far could you go if you stopped trying to prove yourself to other people and started doing it for yourself?
How He Finally Chose to Live Honestly | Daryl Hine (Part 2)
Jul 6, 202637 minS3
In Part 2, we pick up Daryl Hine's story at the moment he sits his three children down and discover that the hardest conversation of his life was met with something he didn't expect: acceptance. But knowing the truth and acting on it are two different things. What followed was years of going round in circles, wanting to be honest, terrified of the hurt it would cause, retreating, then starting again. A deep marriage to Paula, a new relationship with Ed, and no version of the future where nobody got hurt. This is the half of the story about how you actually move, when there's no clean answer and no one to blame. In this episode we talk about: Telling his grown-up children, and their remarkable response The trip to the Philippines that forced the decision The advice that finally landed: you may never know for certain, but doing nothing harms everyone you love Why he sees his life as two chapters — and wouldn't give up either Finding acceptance, Pride, and what living authentically really feels like His advice for any man sitting where he once sat Daryl's three takeaways for anyone stuck: doing nothing isn't an option, don't wait for a perfect roadmap before you take the first step, and find someone to talk to. Living in fear is no way to live and it's never too late to live honestly. Daryl is a business consultant and founder of Abundant Solutions. 🎧 This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation start with Part 1 if you haven't yet.

When the Life Everyone Admires Isn't the One You Need | Daryl Hine (Part 1)
Jun 29, 202630 minS3
In Part 1 of our conversation with Daryl Hine, we go back to the start of a story that, from the outside, looked close to perfect. Daryl met Paula at 16. Married at 21. Three children, a 30-year marriage, a successful corporate career and a thriving business they built together. By every visible measure, life was good, and everyone around them thought so too. But Daryl was carrying something he'd pushed down since the 1970s, a time when it simply wasn't safe to say it out loud: he knew he was attracted to men. For years he suppressed it. Until, approaching 50, it stopped staying quiet and the panic attacks started. In this episode we talk about: What it's like to live a life that looks right but doesn't feel like yours Why so many men of his generation learned to bury who they really were The slow, exhausting cost of not knowing and not being able to say it Trying to solve a deeply human question like a business problem The night-time panic attacks, and what they were really telling him Daryl is a business consultant and founder of Abundant Solutions, but this isn't a business conversation. It's an honest, generous look at identity, suppression, and the courage it takes to face yourself. Part 1 ends at the hardest moment: sitting his three grown children down to tell them the truth. What happened next is in Part 2. 🎧 Inspired Men Talk - honest conversations about the things men don't usually talk about.

The Question That Changed Everything: If Not Now, When? | John Hirniak, Part 2
Jun 22, 202632 minS3
In part one, a perfect storm pulled John Hirniak's life apart. In part two, he tells us how he found his way back and it started with admitting something was wrong. John takes us into the darkest place he's ever been: frozen by fear, crying alone in the back office, then putting on "the Johnny show" to sell a car an hour later. He's honest about the thoughts that crept in, and about the moment that stopped him, realising that suicide doesn't end the pain, it just passes it on to the people you love. But this episode is really about what came next. The turning point wasn't a lightning bolt. It was John deciding he'd had enough, that he didn't deserve to feel like this and neither did his family. The first counsellor didn't work for him. Neither did the next. So he kept asking the only question that matters: where do I go next? Until he found a coach who wouldn't tolerate any excuses, because it's good to talk, but talking doesn't cook the rice. Eventually, you have to take action. He shares the simple daily habits that turned things around, journaling, movement, even just drinking enough water and the belief that's carried him since: you can't think your way out of anxiety and depression. Action is the only answer. His message to any man who's struggling is simple. You're not weak. You're not a failure. Asking for help is the bravest thing you'll do. And you do not have to stay where you are. Because as John says: be the inspiration, not the warning. ⚠️ This episode discusses suicide and suicidal thoughts. If any of it resonates, please don't sit with it alone, talk to someone you trust, your GP, or call the Samaritans free on 116 123, any time, day or night. 👉 John is a coach and therapist. You'll find him on Facebook, Instagram (John Hirniak Coaching) and LinkedIn' search John Hirniak. 🎧 Missed part one? Watch that first. 💬 Inspired Men Talk, because men do talk.

The Car Dealer Who Built the Dream - Then the Perfect Storm Hit | John Hirniak (Part 1)
Jun 15, 202624 minS3
From the outside, John Hirniak had built a great life. But it didn't start that way. Born half-Irish into real poverty, sleeping on a mattress on the floor, fetching water from the village pump because there was none in the house. John always knew he wanted his own business. Market stalls, watches, antiques, beds. Then, off the back of a £10 book called Four Wheels to a Fortune , he became a used car dealer and never looked back. Twenty-seven years in the trade. A house. A marriage people envied. Two daughters. And a beloved 1953 Buick called Clara that still turns heads everywhere it goes. Living the dream, as people say. In part one, John, Gary and Peter swap stories about graft, business, the cars that stay with you for life, and how a working-class lad from a poor start built something to be proud of. It's warm, funny and full of heart. But right at the end, John starts to tell us where it all began to unravel, what he now calls the perfect storm. You'll want to hear what happens next. 🎧 Subscribe so you don't miss part two. 💬 Inspired Men Talk - because men do talk.

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.

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.
