From Reality TV to Founder: McKenzie Lyng on Building BackSwing Golf Events
Aug 11, 202633 minS1
Most people who get a shot at reality TV stardom either make it big or fade out quietly. McKenzie Lyng did neither. She turned a season of Golf Channel's Big Break into the spark for a company that now runs thousands of events a year and pays out millions of dollars to female professional golfers chasing the LPGA dream. In this episode, Sara Press talks with McKenzie about her path from competitive golfer to founder and entrepreneur, and what it actually took to build BackSwing Golf Events into one of the largest on-course fundraising companies in the industry. This is a conversation for any business owner who's ever had to build something from a moment that didn't go the way they planned. We get into: What happened on Golf Channel's Big Break, and how that experience became the idea behind BackSwing Golf Events The jump from professional athlete to founder, and the entrepreneur mindset shift that came with it How BackSwing grew into a multimillion-dollar business supporting other female professional golfers financially What it takes to scale a small business into thousands of events a year without losing the mission behind it Lessons for any founder or business owner turning a personal passion into a real, sustainable company If you're a founder, small business owner, or entrepreneur who's ever wondered how to turn a single opportunity into a real business, this episode is packed with insight.

Scaling an Agency from $1M to $10M with Founder Nick Avaria
Aug 4, 202639 minS1
Most agency founders can get their business to $1 million. Almost none of them know how to take it to $10 million, and Nick Avaria says that gap is exactly where he lives. Nick is the founder of Agency Acquisitions, where he's bought and sold seven agencies and consulted with dozens more on how to scale profitably without burning out their founders or their teams. In this episode, Sara Press sits down with Nick to talk about what actually separates agencies that scale from agencies that stall, and why the skills that get you to $1 million are often the exact opposite of the skills that get you to $10 million. We get into: How Nick has bought and sold seven agencies, and what he looks for in a business worth acquiring Why scaling an agency from $1M to $10M requires a completely different skill set than founding one, and why most founders are better at one than the other The real cost of founder burnout, and the mindset shift that prevents it How to know which tasks to outsource before they burn you out, and why "I can do it faster myself" is the trap that keeps founders stuck What agency owners get wrong about growth, profit, and scaling a small business past its first plateau Whether you're a founder trying to break past $1 million, an agency owner thinking about an exit, or just building a business and wondering when to start delegating, this conversation is full of practical, real-world scaling advice.

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.
