About Steven
Steven Alan Hassan is an American mental health professional and author specializing in the study of cults. In the late 1970s, he participated in deprogramming efforts before advocating for non-coercive exit counseling. Hassan has authored four books on the topics of mind control and undue influence, and is frequently recognized by the media as an expert on cults and mind control. His perspective on undue influence aligns with some scholarly views in psychology and psychiatry, though it has also drawn criticism from sociologists who study new religious movements. Hassan was a member of the Unification Church in his early years and later established Ex-Moon Inc. in 1979. Later, in 1999, he founded the Freedom of Mind Resource Center, an organization dedicated to educating about mind control and cult influence.

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, plus $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.
