As an English, Theatre, and Speech and Debate Teacher, I've got issues and thoughts on issues. My students call them my "rants". Everyone has their soapboxes, their certainties/beliefs, and each voice is important and should be heard! So, let's Rant together! I also firmly believe that literature of all forms makes up a part of who we are, our beliefs/thoughts, and what we do with them to create. In this podcast we discuss: 1) Rants: What's your certainty/soapbox? Let's have a respectful discussion about it. 2) Raves: The Literature/authors who have inspired you, your life, and your work. 3) Reviews: A discussion and review of your work (whatever you do), or what you believe others should be reading/watching/listening to and why.

From Comedy to Christ with Author Stan Cronin
Aug 17, 202650 minS1
This is a video about From Comedy to Christ with Author Stan Cronin stancronin.com Host Tanya Roundy interviews author and former police officer Stan Cronin about his life in Arizona, his church mission in the Manitoba-Minnesota Mission, his divorce and remarriage, and his path to writing. Cronin shares how his book How to Date Your Wife grew out of seeing family fights while policing and interviewing women about successful marriages, and how he also created clean joke books from decades of collecting jokes. He discusses a vivid dream inspired after hearing Kenny Rogers’ song “A Soldier’s King,” which prompted him to write a four-book Christian historical fiction series centered on Mercury, a Roman soldier ordered by Caesar to hunt a prophesied king in Judea, and how researching Roman life and scripture shaped the story.

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.
