About John
John Tortorella, born on June 24, 1958, is an American professional ice hockey coach and former player. He most recently served as the head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights in the National Hockey League. Throughout his coaching career, Tortorella has been the head coach for several NHL teams, including the New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Vancouver Canucks, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Philadelphia Flyers. During his tenure with Tampa Bay, he won the Stanley Cup in 2004. Hired late into the 2025–26 season by the Golden Knights, Tortorella led the team into the 2026 Stanley Cup Final, where they were defeated by the Carolina Hurricanes in six games. He was not retained after the conclusion of that season. Tortorella is notable for being the first American-born NHL coach to reach 500 wins and, as of the end of the 2025–26 season, is ninth all-time in wins with 777. He is also a two-time recipient of the Jack Adams Award, which recognizes the NHL's top coach. Known for his outspoken and sometimes confrontational demeanor, Tortorella has been known to criticize both his players and members of the media. His coaching strategies have included rotating goaltenders regularly, a system he first employed with Tampa Bay and later revived in the 2019–20 NHL season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, supporting the emergence of a goaltender tandem.

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.
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.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every new individual account gets 7 days of everything with no card: 50 pitch credits and up to 5 contacts a day. After that it moves to the Free plan: 5 pitch credits a month and your top 10 matches. You can build campaigns on Free; launching one needs a paid plan.
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.
