Speak Easy by Catalysis is a podcast about lessons learned in the marketing trenches. Hosted by Doug Stanley-Hunt, founder of Seattle-based agency Catalysis, it features informal, honest conversations with leaders from startups to Fortune 500 companies — all shared over a drink in The Cloakroom, a speakeasy tucked beneath a 120-year-old former church. Created for marketers and leaders hungry for real-world mentorship, the show explores the wins, losses, pivots, and hard-earned insights behind building brands, agencies, and careers. No video. No lectures. Just candid conversations about marketing, leadership, curiosity, judgment — and yes, the occasional cocktail.

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.
