Sep 29, 20261h 4mS4
What Are You Really Leaving Your Kids? Most business owners dream of leaving something meaningful behind. But if your company depends on you every day, are you really leaving a business… or just handing your family another job? In this episode, Dominic Rubino explains one of the most important numbers every owner should know: Revenue Responsibility Per Hour (RR/H). You'll discover why owner dependency quietly limits growth, how to identify the work only you should be doing, and what it takes to build a company that can thrive without you. Whether you plan to pass your business to your children, your leadership team, or eventually sell it, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership, systems, and legacy. In this episode you'll learn: • What Revenue Responsibility Per Hour (RR/H) really means • Why doing $40/hour work can cost you thousands • The difference between being the hero and becoming the leader • How systems increase business value • Why your children may not want your business if nothing changes • The first steps toward creating a true legacy business If this episode helped you think differently about your business, subscribe for more practical strategies on leadership, profitability, systems, and building a company that creates freedom.

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.
