Ep 190: The Risk It Takes to Grow Your Faith (ft. Bobby Chandler)
Sep 22, 202647 min
It made no sense on paper: a sick newborn, no savings, no home waiting. Pastor Bobby Chandler moved his family across the country on faith alone, and explains what real risk actually looks like. Bobby Chandler is the founding pastor of Authentic Church in Hickory, North Carolina. He and Doug talk about what it costs to move by faith: leaving Louisiana with a daughter who needed surgery just to breathe, starting a church in a backyard on Facebook Live, and learning that faith always means risking something you can't get back. They dig into the Abraham story as the blueprint for faith without guarantees, why patience matters more than we want it to, the comparison trap of chasing followers instead of God's approval, and how to guard your heart in a culture built to hijack it. This is a conversation about worldview, conviction, and what it actually costs to follow God into the unknown. Whether you're standing at a decision that doesn't make sense on paper, or just wondering if you've gotten too comfortable, this episode speaks to that.

Ep 188: Why Winning It All Doesn't Satisfy (ft. Jaccob Slavin)
Sep 8, 202644 min
He won a Stanley Cup and Olympic gold in the same year, and says neither one filled him. Here is what actually did. Jaccob Slavin is one of the NHL's most respected defensemen: an 11-year Carolina Hurricane, a 2026 Stanley Cup champion, and an Olympic gold medalist with Team USA. On paper he reached the top of his sport in every category in a single season. In this conversation with Doug Elks, he opens up about the part nobody sees: an injury that nearly ended his season before it started, the quiet pressure of performing for everyone's approval, and the difference between happiness that comes from a win and joy that a win can never touch. Doug and Jaccob get honest about identity, the trap of tying your worth to your results, and why the verse Jaccob opened to as a nervous 21-year-old rookie still steadies him today. They talk discipline that flows from love instead of fear, keeping a real routine when life is chaotic, marriage and adoption, and holding everything you have with open hands. If you have ever gotten the thing you chased and felt strangely empty afterward, this one is for you. It closes with Doug sharing the good news of Jesus and a moment to respond wherever you are.

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.
