Episode #28
On Becoming a Badass Blogger
Aug 18, 202615 minS1
Today, blogging is considered passe. We forget blogs were the precursor technology to all of the social media platforms deployed on the Internet. In the Intelligence Community (IC) in 2005, blogging was viewed as nearly subversive. The Intelink Blogging platform created a space for change agents to communicate directly to their peers, discover research on key intelligence questions, test analytic hypotheses, and build communities of interest. In this episode, we hear from some of the most popular bloggers in the IC giving a graduate-level course on how to respectfully undermine authority and make change happen.

Wikipedia defines Intellipedia as "an online system for collaborative data sharing used by the United States Intelligence Community." This description belies the immense amount of pain, suffering, and the many mission victories behind the deployment of the most successful information sharing platform in intelligence history. In this episode, we hear from the people who built, used, and protected Intellipedia from those who did not want to see it succeed.

The Need-to-Know culture gives way to the Responsibility-to-Provide future. Analytic Transformation takes on the discovery of what customers want, what intelligence products have been produced, and who knows something about everything all the time. In this episode, we hear about three programs: the Analysis Resource Catalogue, the Library of National Intelligence, and the National Intelligence Priorities Framework. And you will be astounded how anything got done in intelligence without them.

With the team built and the contours of a plan, the Analytic Transformation Team took their show on the road. What better place to unveil the full slate of programs than Chicago? Armed with some marketing material, Tom Fingar and Michael Wertheimer host an event open to the public to iron-out the most pressing issues facing the community and solicit answers. Facing resistance from highly respected senior analysts, such as Mark Lowenthal, the very basic suppositions of the Analytic Transformation program are challenged. In this episode we hear from these voices as they look back over 20 years. Will their perspectives have changed?

With the wind at his back, Tom Fingar is tapped to build the Office of Analysis in the Director of National Intelligence. He needed a team of reform-minded individuals representing a wide swath of Intelligence Community (IC) interests. With only a vague idea of what they were going to do and not knowing if they could even do it, they joined forces to transform the IC. These are the inside stories of what the selection process was like and how they started to think about the initiatives reshaping the community.

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.
