Dr. Phil argues that American schools are masking declining academic achievement through grade inflation, lowered proficiency standards, generous grading floors, and pressure to pass students, leaving parents and students unaware of their actual capabilities. He cites falling standardized-test and reading scores, remedial college placement among high-school graduates with high GPAs, and international performance gaps as evidence that diplomas increasingly fail to represent mastery. He also warns that excessive classroom technology may weaken learning by replacing handwriting, deep processing, and independent problem-solving. He urges parents to independently assess their children’s reading and math skills, calling for an education system that prioritizes genuine competence over graduation rates and funding incentives.

Dr. Phil discusses how young adults, specifically teens, are being targeted online by sophisticated predators who work to entice victims into sharing explicit photos or video of themselves, and once the content is sent, the second part of the plan ensues and the threats begin … it’s called Sextortion. The sextortionist will threaten to share the images everywhere if the victim doesn’t comply with their demands which can include sending more images, money, and sometimes convincing victims to commit sadistic acts, self-harm and even suicide. Dr. Phil sits down Adam, a devoted and caring father who says he had never heard of the word Sextortion, until it was too late. Tragically, only 7 months ago, Adam’s 15-year-old son Bryce, a remarkable young man, with an unbelievably close relationship with both of his parents, ended his life, less than three hours after being contacted by on an online predator.

Dr. Phil examines the disturbing case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother charged with killing her three young children, and the critical question at the center of the case: Were warning signs of a severe postpartum mental health crisis missed? He breaks down postpartum psychosis, how it differs from postpartum depression and the “baby blues,” and the potentially dangerous symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, extreme insomnia, disorganized thinking, and loss of contact with reality. As the defense prepares to argue that postpartum psychosis and multiple psychiatric medications contributed to the tragedy, prosecutors are expected to point to Clancy’s alleged planning and coordination as evidence she understood her actions. His analysis focuses on the larger question beyond the courtroom: When a new mother shows escalating red flags, who is responsible for recognizing the danger and acting before it is too late?

Everyone knows the Idaho murders. Tonight, you meet Kaylee's mother. Kristi Goncalves is the one who got the knock on the door ... the one who asked the deputy if the other girl was Maddie, her daughter's best friend. Tonight, she tells her story in her own voice: the online trolls who wounded her most, the plea deal her family fought, and the moment she looked her daughter's killer in the eye and told him hell would be waiting. But this isn't only a story about loss ... it's about what she built from it. In her darkest days, a stranger started sending her cards, one mom to another. Out of that friendship, Kristi and retired cop Tracie Brocco ... two women who've never met in person ... created Murder Has a Name, funding the same DNA technology that caught Kaylee's killer for the cold cases that can't afford it. Because as Kristi says: "Getting that name ... this is who did this to your child ... it's everything.” For more information about The Kaylee Goncalves Foundation & Murder Has a Name: https://www.murderhasaname.com/ Sponsored by: Preserve Gold: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.

Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with one of their most personal conversations ever, sharing the love, laughter, struggles and surprising stories behind five decades of marriage. From Robin knowing it was love at first sight and asking Dr. Phil about marriage almost immediately to starting out with little money, raising Jay and Jordan, building a family and eventually creating the Dr. Phil show together, they look back at the moments that shaped their life. They also confront years of Dr. Phil and Robin divorce rumors, including the outrageous claim of a $400 million settlement, and explain why those headlines never reflected their real marriage. Most importantly, Dr. Phil and Robin reveal what they believe is the secret to a 50-year marriage: deciding early what kind of marriage they wanted, honoring those commitments and continuing to grow together through every stage of life.

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.
