The Front Porch is where real conversations meet real life. Hosted by two friends with a shared passion for leadership, grit, and helping others, the podcast is built on the idea that the best lessons aren’t found in textbooks — they’re lived through challenges, failures, and victories. Each week, Dennis Polian and Jay Davis sit down with people who embody perseverance. From former athletes who translate the discipline of sports into everyday success, to business leaders navigating growth, to parents balancing family and career, and everyday heroes who simply refuse to give up — every story is a window into resilience. The show explores what it takes to persevere in business, sports, family, and everything in between. These aren’t polished highlight reels. They’re authentic, honest conversations about what it really means to show up, overcome obstacles, and keep moving forward. The tone is casual,

Your Invisible Scoreboard: Breaking Free from Results-Based Identity as a Leader
Jul 30, 202641 min
Every business leader keeps score somewhere — revenue, deals closed, team performance. But what happens when that scoreboard becomes your identity? In this episode, we unpack the invisible pressure leaders put on themselves to perform, why tying self-worth to results is a trap, and practical ways to separate who you are from what you achieve. If you've ever felt like your last win (or loss) defines you, this conversation is for you.

This week on The Front Porch Podcast, Dennis and Jay are back after a month off with a conversation about coachability, standards, and what it really means to be elite.Everybody wants the result. Not everybody wants the standard.From sports to business to leadership and entrepreneurship, elite performers do not run from hard coaching. They want clarity, correction, accountability, and the truth. The problem is that a lot of people want elite outcomes without elite habits.The guys break down the difference between hard coaching and bad coaching, why some people want starter status with backup preparation, and why the scoreboard is not rude. It is just honest.This episode is about self-awareness, coachability, ego, leadership, and the uncomfortable gap between what people say they want and what their habits actually prove.

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.
