David Higgins: Duco Events founder on the rise in athletes competing at older ages
Sep 30, 202612 min
The Aston Martin Formula 1 team recently announced that Fernando Alonso would be racing for them again in 2027. There has been plenty of speculation around this, as the now 45 year old has teased his retirement several times but continues to race. More athletes are continuing to compete at older and older ages, and people buy in as they want to see the stars compete, but is this taking up space for the up and coming athletes? David Higgins is the founder of Duco Events, he joined D'Arcy to discuss. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Richie Mo'unga: All Black on being called up for Bledisloe Cup squad
Sep 29, 202612 min
The 34-man squad was named for the two upcoming Bledisloe Cup tests between the All Blacks and the Wallabies - with the first test match taking place next Saturday night at Eden Park. There were a couple of intriguing inclusions including the return of Shannon Frizell, but a major injury blow was also revealed. Ruben Love has been said to have suffered an ankle injury and will not feature in the test matches, meaning Richie Mo'unga will get a shot at reclaiming the 10 jersey he left behind after the 2023 World Cup. He joined D'Arcy to discuss further. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
