Blackbird Guides Face Safety Citations After Tahoe Avalanche | Oakland News
Aug 21, 20261 min
Cal/OSHA has slapped Blackbird Mountain Guides with deadly safety citations after an avalanche killed nine people — six clients and three guides — despite a clear warning. The company allegedly ignored avalanche forecasts and failed to properly train staff, turning a preventable tragedy into a national reckoning. Families from across the country are still reeling, while prosecutors now weigh whether criminal charges are warranted — a chilling reminder of how critical safety protocols are in the backcountry.

USS Doris Miller Carrier Name Debate | Oakland News
Aug 21, 20262 min
Navy brass is reportedly eyeing a bold twist: renaming the new USS Doris Miller carrier after President Donald Trump — the first sitting president to get a ship named in his honor. Doris Miller, a heroic Black sailor who saved lives at Pearl Harbor and earned the Navy Cross despite segregation, would be sidelined — though his family is stunned and disappointed. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pushing Congress to upgrade Miller’s Navy Cross to the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award. This comes amid broader Navy shifts, including removing Confederate names and honoring figures like Harvey Milk — but no official announcement has been made yet.

Fleas Shut Down Fire Station | Oakland News
Aug 21, 20262 min
Fleas took over Peri Park in Fairfax, forcing firefighters to evacuate their station—yes, the whole firehouse is infested. Emergency services are still operational, but response times may slow as crews are stationed outside town. The bug outbreak began July 24, prompting a two-week closure. With Fairfax’s strict pesticide ban, town council had to approve limited spraying under the fire station—and later, unanimously greenlit full treatment after a second meeting. Pest control crews hit the scene Friday afternoon. The town’s on high alert, hoping this flea siege ends for good so firefighters can return home.

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.
