LGBTQ+ Adults Now 25.6 Million | Hattiesburg News
Aug 21, 20262 min
New data reveals that 25.6 million U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ+, making up 12% of the population — a massive leap from past estimates and signaling a demographic too large to ignore. Bisexuals make up 7%, while lesbian and gay adults account for 3.27%. Trans and non-binary adults now represent 2.34%, double what was previously estimated. The Human Rights Campaign stresses that LGBTQ+ people are a vital, widespread constituency across nearly every state — businesses and policymakers must treat them as central, not marginal. This figure dwarfs Gallup’s 9% estimate, thanks to HRC’s vastly larger sample size of over 2.2 million. Trends show younger generations are more likely to identify as LGBTQ+, with bisexuals forming the largest subgroup — and overall identification is rising. But future data collection may face growing challenges, risking critical gaps in understanding and support for these communities.

Jackson PD Under Fire Over Internal Probe | Hattiesburg News
Aug 21, 20262 min
Jackson’s police department is in the spotlight after a former 911 dispatcher was arrested for allegedly leaking sensitive info to individuals under criminal investigation, facing serious charges with a $100K bond. Meanwhile, a detective on unpaid leave is also under scrutiny, with the chief hinting at possible compromise. While residents feel betrayed and question trust in law enforcement—especially when compared to neighboring cities—city leaders like Councilman Ashby Foote see this as necessary accountability that strengthens the department’s integrity. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation has now taken over an independent probe, with preliminary work already underway, keeping the public on edge as details remain tightly controlled.

Mississippi Families Struggle with Rising Costs | Hattiesburg News
Aug 21, 20261 min
Mississippians are feeling the squeeze as gas prices climb past $3.60 a gallon and grocery bills soar—especially for single parents juggling daily expenses while raising kids. Despite being slightly below the national average, local price swings of 30 cents or more within a single town highlight just how unpredictable costs have become. With Iran’s conflict winding down, hope lingers that relief may come—but for now, affordability remains a top concern for voters heading into November 2026, where Senator Hyde-Smith’s re-election bid hinges on addressing these economic pressures head-on.

Trump Backs Graham in Senate Runoff | Hattiesburg News
Aug 21, 20262 min
Trump’s personal campaign for Senator Darline Graham in South Carolina is heating up as he rallies voters to back her in a critical Republican Senate runoff against Representative Ralph Norman. Emphasizing her alignment with his agenda on border security and tax cuts, Trump even urged supporters to imagine him on the ballot to boost turnout — acknowledging his own absence from the race can dampen enthusiasm. As Graham, the sister of late Senator Lindsey Graham, positions herself as an outsider mirroring Trump’s brand, the election serves as a barometer of his enduring influence within the GOP — especially in his stronghold state. With the winner set to face the Democratic nominee in November, Trump’s active involvement underscores the stakes for both Graham and the party’s future in the Senate.

Kyle Cockrell Runs for Ag Commissioner | Hattiesburg News
Aug 21, 20262 min
Kyle Cockrell, a third-generation farmer and owner of Cockrell’s Farmers Market, is running for Mississippi’s Agriculture and Commerce Commissioner — a pivotal role now open after the current commissioner steps down. Grounded in decades of farming experience dating back to 1948, Cockrell isn’t chasing political fame but wants to be the voice farmers, loggers, and agricultural producers need — listening first, acting second. He’s focused on building relationships across the state, boosting agricultural education in schools, and using the state fairgrounds to spotlight Mississippi’s vital farming industry. With no party allegiance, he’s rallying grassroots support, believing his roots make him relatable and trustworthy — and that practical solutions, not big money or endorsements, will win the day.

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.
