LeBron’s Legacy, Super Teams & the 82-0 Challenge (ft. Coach Alex Wiggs) | Ep. 18 In episode 18 of Mike & Jake: The Almost Experts Podcast, Mike and Jake welcome Three Rivers College head girls basketball coach Alex Wiggs and discuss LeBron James, including his reported move to the 76ers and how super teams, longevity, and flopping affect his legacy compared to Michael Jordan. They debate whether LeBron was properly hyped, talk about modern NBA athleticism, and compare impact on the game from Jordan and Steph Curry. The conversation shifts to basketball philosophy on mid-range shots versus threes and layups, then to hobbies like hunting, fishing, and Call of Duty as ways to unwind from coaching. They also touch on MLB topics like the Cubs’ trade deadline, briefly argue about the Savannah Bananas and Harlem Globetrotters, and finish by playing the “82 and 0 Challenge,” with teams featuring players like Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Chris Webber.

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.
