What Hurricane Lowell Taught Me About Performing Under Pressure
Sep 18, 202615 min
What happens when the plan falls apart? Hurricane Lowell recently passed close to Kauaʻi, leaving significant damage across the island. I was working as a firefighter during the storm, while my wife was working at the hospital and our daughters were staying with their grandparents. Over the next 24 hours, I watched people respond to the exact same pressure in completely different ways. Some people went straight to work. Some helped complete strangers. Some froze. Some panicked. And it reinforced a lesson I’ve seen throughout my life in sports, the military, firefighting, coaching, and leadership: Pressure doesn’t suddenly make you who you need to be. Pressure reveals what you’ve prepared yourself to be. In this episode, I share what happened during the storm and aftermath, including clearing roads so emergency vehicles could get through, adapting when our own fire engine went out of service, and watching the Kauaʻi community come together to help each other. I also talk about experiencing Hurricane Georges in Puerto Rico while serving in the military—and the humbling realization that even after seeing firsthand what a major hurricane can do, I still underestimated this one. We get into preparation, adaptability, purpose, leadership, controlling what you can control, and why experience only matters if you turn it into action. Most importantly, I explore an idea that applies far beyond sports: Every one of us is both the head coach and the athlete in our own life. The head coach in you has to prepare, establish the standard, anticipate problems, and make decisions. The athlete in you eventually has to execute when life stops cooperating. Because eventually pressure comes for all of us. And when it does, you don’t want to start becoming the person you need to be. You want that person to already be there. Talent is given. Performance is crafted. Send us Fan Mail

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.
