S8E9 - Season 8 Recap
Jun 24, 202634 minS8
In the Season 8 finale, Andrew and Dan look back on an incredible season of guests. Four years in, the hosts reflect on what makes this podcast meaningful: the honest, humanizing stories of entrepreneurs who aren't afraid to talk about what it really takes to find success. Greg Furer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lg8fgAuI_g Solving the "Cheesecake Factory problem" in financial planning, and why simplicity and trust matter more than the size of the inheritance. Adam Taki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZVNOkqDbZY Why tax lien investing isn't what you think, and how an overlooked niche turns non-performing assets into performing ones. Patrick Colletti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wtkc17P5vk What it means to be a "refounder," and the leadership lessons that only come from building the same business twice. Dr. Dinakar Golla: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JP27rWDkEw What medicine and investing share when it comes to precision, patience, and trust. Mary Fearon: https://youtu.be/KgMOCaX7Slo Why people do their best work when the work actually means something to them. Hisham Albahar: https://youtu.be/VyWwDGxQ-0o Navigating geopolitical complexity and leading with vulnerability in a world that rarely slows down. Afif Ghannoum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vUnLmlc0Xw Betting on science over hype, and the personal health journey that made this conversation so candid. - Connect with Us!

FAQs

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.
