147: The year I quit personal development - and the unexpected thing I found
Aug 2, 202631 min
Leah had spent over twenty years as a self-described personal development junkie, always reading, always learning, always reaching for the next book that would help her get better. But one day she sat down to work through a problem in her business and realized she couldn't hear herself think over the noise of everyone else's advice. So she did something drastic: she quit all of it, personal development and business books, cold turkey, for what turned into two years. In this episode, Leah shares what pushed her to walk away, and the unexpected things she found waiting on the other side. — When you're ready to break through to the next revenue level in your consulting business, here are two ways I can help you. 1.

146 - Why smart, experienced consultants still have pricing head trash
Jul 19, 202627 min
Pricing head trash is sneaky. It doesn't care how long you've been in business, how much you've made, or how much mindset work you've done. In this episode, you're going behind the scenes into a real Academy group coaching call, where two experienced consultants are hitting the same wall in two very different ways. What you hear might sound uncomfortably familiar. — When you're ready to break through to the next revenue level in your consulting business, here are two ways I can help you. 1.

145: How Abby McAdams built a business full of the clients she actually wants
Jul 5, 202640 min
You already know who you want to work with. You've known for a while. But saying it out loud, committing to it, building your whole business around it? That feels like a risk you're not sure you can take. Abby McAdams, founder of ASM Communications, felt the same way, and she did it anyway. Here's what happened when she did, and what it could look like for you too. — When you're ready to break through to the next revenue level in your consulting business, here are two ways I can help you. 1.

144: What clients actually need from consultants right now, with April Uchitel
Jun 21, 202637 min
What do clients actually need right now? How are they making decisions? And what makes one consultant the obvious choice while another never hears back? April Uchitel, founder of The Board, sits on both sides of the table, working with clients and consultants alike, and in this conversation she's giving you the inside look. In this episode you'll hear how organizations are making decisions about outside help right now, what clients wish they could tell you but don't, and the one behavior that turns a first conversation into a client relationship that lasts. — When you're ready to break through to the next revenue level in your consulting business, here are two ways I can help you. 1.

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.
