From Conference High to Post-Event Crash: My Honest IOCDF Reflection
Jul 15, 202612 minS6
Have you ever noticed that your pulling or picking completely vanishes while you're away, only to hit like a tidal wave the second you walk through your front door? In this episode of Trich Talks , host Barbara reflects on her recent trip to the Annual IOCDF Conference in Seattle. She shares her favorite highlights from the weekend—including the pure joy of meeting long-time online community friends in real life. But Barbara doesn't just stop at the high of the conference. She gets raw and honest about the "post-conference crash." Barbara decodes the highly predictable pattern of why we experience a surge of pulling urges the moment we return to our familiar environments. More importantly, she shares her actionable "Post-Event Transition Plan" to help you the next time you return home. Whether you are transitioning back from a vacation, a work trip, or just a busy weekend, this episode is a gentle reminder that a relapse isn't a failure—it's just data. — Living with a BFRB isn’t about willpower, it’s about awareness.The Keen2 by HabitAware gently vibrates to help you notice pulling or picking in the moment , so you can pause and choose what comes next.

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.
