Nobody Left Behind: Emergency Management Through an Accessibility Lens | With Jen McEachen a deafblind emergency manager
Jul 28, 202647 minS3
Send us Fan Mail Emergency alerts are supposed to reach everyone - but they don’t. In this episode, Tim Conrad speaks with Jen McEachen, a deafblind emergency management professional who has spent years identifying the gaps that leave millions of people behind during disasters. Jen shares what daily navigation looks like with deafblindness, why current public notification systems fail, and how simple changes - from ASL integration to accessible document formats - can dramatically improve safety for all communities. Together, they explore preparedness guides, evacuation challenges, nonprofit collaboration, and the intersection of disability with Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ needs. This conversation is a candid look at the barriers people with disabilities face in emergencies, and the practical steps local governments, First Nations, and crisis communicators can take to ensure nobody is left behind.

Quickbits: When Wildfires Turn Unpredictable - Lessons From the Front Lines
Jul 23, 202610 min
Send us Fan Mail (Please accept my apologies, a draft was uploaded initially and has been replaced on July 23 with the proper file.) This Quickbits installment of the Wildfires, Floods and Chaos Communications Podcast zeroes in on a turbulent week of wildfire, tornado, and flood activity across Canada and beyond. Tim Conrad shares frontline insights on the explosive growth of the Fiftynine Creek, French Creek, and Anderson Creek fires - including how fast-moving fire behaviour, atmospheric energy, and drought conditions are creating dangerous, unpredictable situations for responders and residents alike. Drawing from decades of wildfire response and emergency communications, Tim reflects on the life‑or‑death decisions responders face, the risks of staying behind during evacuation orders, and the growing trend of mega‑fires feeding off each other. The episode also highlights upcoming conversations with Paul McCarthy and Jen McEachen, touching on emergency operations, accessibility, and the evolving challenges communities face as climate‑driven disasters intensify. A concise, urgent, human‑focused Quickbits update - reminding listeners to stay safe, stay empathetic, and stay prepared as the season escalates. Here are clean, platform‑ready chapter timings based directly on your transcript timestamps. I’ve kept them precise, sequential, and aligned with your pacing.

Smoke, Schools, and Sudden Evacuation: Lessons from the 2008 Porters Lake Fire
Jun 30, 202646 minS3
Send us Fan Mail When the 2008 Porters Lake–Lake Echo wildfire tore through the suburbs east of Halifax, more than 5,000 people were forced to flee with only minutes to decide what mattered most. In this episode, Paula Danyluk‑MacDonald - evacuee, mother, neighbour, and principal of Atlantic View Elementary - shares her firsthand account of sudden evacuation, community fear, and the remarkable resilience that followed. Paula describes the moment firefighters knocked on her door with five minutes to leave, the frantic search for family, the overwhelming tension at the evacuation centre, and the emotional return home to a neighbourhood changed forever. She also reflects on how the school community coped in the weeks and months afterward, how children processed the disaster, and how neighbours became lifelines. This is a story of community strength, compassion, and the quiet leadership that emerges when everything familiar is suddenly at risk.

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.
