The Busyness of It All
Aug 22, 20267 min
Send us Fan Mail Perfectionism does not always look like fear. Sometimes it shows up early, carries a clipboard, and points toward one more little thing a responsible person ought to fix. In this episode of Along the Way , I look at the difference between craft and perfectionism, business and busyness—and the moment I finally allowed The Fence to stand on its own. Listen to Five Minutes in America: https://www.thecoffmanchronicle.com/s/five-minutes-in-america Paid members of The Coffman Chronicle receive all five stories together on September 5, before weekday public release begins September 7: https://www.thecoffmanchronicle.com/subscribe What have you kept perfecting because you are afraid to call it finished? I’m Tony Michaels. I’ll see you... along the way. Support the show
Send us Fan Mail Success isn’t a spotless notebook. Success is refusing to surrender authorship. Help put Five Minutes in America on the radio—and hear the stories first as a paid member of The Coffman Chronicle: https://www.thecoffmanchronicle.com/ If somebody asked me to sum up everything I have learned about success in one sentence, this would be it: It is impossible to fail. We fail at things. We lose opportunities. We make mistakes. We write sentences we wish we could erase. But those failures are events inside a life. They are not the verdict on a life. Your life is the notebook. Your purpose is the pencil. The eraser reminds us that a mistake does not have to become a commandment. You can make a correction. You can learn from the pages you cannot change. And while there is still an empty line in front of you, you can write the next sentence yourself. In this episode of Along the Way, I also share the first taste of the music for Five Minutes in America—my new storytelling program coming to radio five days a week, five minutes at a time. These stories won’t tell you which political team to join or ask you to spend five more minutes angry at somebody you have never met. They will take you to kitchen tables, fence lines, bait shops, front porches, and courthouse squares—places where ordinary people reveal who they are. Paid members of The Coffman Chronicle will hear Five Minutes in America before the stories reach radio. Membership is $8 monthly or $80 annually, and it helps carry these stories from my notebook to the airwaves. So let me ask you: Who’s writing your story? Tell me in the comments—and share this with someone who may be ready to take their pencil back. I’m Tony Michaels. I’ll see you along the way. Support the show
Send us Fan Mail I loved butchering chickens. My mother hated it. And believe it or not, that story helped me sell more than one bathroom. During my years in bathroom-remodeling sales, I learned that the best way to stop being strangers wasn’t a clever sales pitch. It was to listen. A question about someone’s house could lead to a story about where they grew up. Their memory would make room for one of mine. By the time we sat down to discuss the bathroom, we weren’t merely a salesman and a customer anymore. This week, a passage from *How to Win Friends and Influence People* reminded me that the people who give us their time make our work possible and they deserve the very best we can give them. In this episode of 'Along the Way', I consider what those sales appointments taught me about storytelling, gratitude, and the childhood memories that can open our hearts to people we have only just met. What story from your childhood do you tell when you want somebody to understand where you came from? Tell me down in the comments. I promise I’ll listen. 'Along the Way' is my Sunday journal about building 'Five Minutes in America' and becoming the storyteller the work requires. Get your free pocket Constitution at https://YourPocketConstitution.com .

Find Your If: The Greatest Advice My Art Teacher Ever Gave Me
Aug 2, 20268 min
Send us Fan Mail My high school art teacher gave me one of the greatest pieces of advice I’ve ever received. The funny thing is—she first gave it to me twenty-five years ago. This week on Along the Way, an old art portfolio, a new sketchbook, and Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If—” helped me understand where this show truly begins: inside the notebook. We spend a lot of our lives aiming at what we desire—money, recognition, applause, success. But a desire is not a task. You cannot do fame. You can return to the page. You can shape the cup. You can tell the story. Find the work that—if you keep doing it—will carry you toward the life you desire. Find your if. What is the work you keep returning to? Tell me in the comments. Along the Way with Tony Michaels is a weekly journal about the challenges, discoveries, and lessons found while doing the work. New episodes every Sunday.

Send us Fan Mail Some stories entertain us. Some stories stay with us. This is the story that stayed with me. When I was a teenager on a family vacation to Colorado, I heard a storyteller named Scotty Vaughn perform "Rindercella," a classic story written by Archie Campbell of Hee Haw. I had no idea that one evening at the Flying W Ranch would shape the way I would tell stories for the rest of my life. Looking back now, I don't think I brought that story home. I think... It brought me. Today I'm building Five Minutes in America—a storytelling project dedicated to preserving the stories, character, and principles that have always made America worth passing along. If this kind of storytelling speaks to you, I'd love to have you become a member. Members get an early look at every new episode of Five Minutes in America, along with behind-the-scenes conversations as we build this storytelling company together.

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.
