Ep. 19 Master your Mind at Work with Robina Courtin
Sep 28, 202638 min
What if one of the most important career skills isn’t technical at all, but learning how to work with your own mind? Venerable Robina Courtin joins Desktime Stories for a practical conversation about criticism, anger, difficult people, attachment to approval, resilience, money, focus, and how to stay steady when work or life gets hard. Drawing from decades of experience as a Buddhist nun, editor, publisher, nonprofit leader, fundraiser, and teacher, Robina brings a refreshingly direct perspective to the challenges we all face at work. Her message is simple: our minds are not set in stone. We can train them, change them, and become more skillful in how we respond.

Ep. 16 Heriberto Murrieta: La Mentalidad Que lo Llevó al Éxito
Aug 16, 202633 min
Más de 40 años de carrera no llegan por casualidad. En este episodio de Desktime Stories platicamos con Heriberto Murrieta sobre la mentalidad detrás de su éxito. - Habla de tener una vocación clara desde joven, y de no dejar pasar la oportunidad cuando aparece. - Explica por qué la preparación siempre pesó más que el talento. Su fluidez de hoy la construyó poco a poco, con años de práctica constante. - También aborda algo con lo que muchos batallamos: cómo recibir críticas sin que te derrumben. Distingue entre las que suman y las que solo buscan lastimar. - Habla de defender tus ideas sin convertir cada desacuerdo en una pelea, y de la constancia como motor principal: no detenerse hasta concretar una idea, sin obsesionarse con calcular el éxito de antemano. - Cierra con algo que atraviesa toda la conversación: la humildad no como debilidad, sino como base que sostiene todo lo demás. - Esta es una conversación para cualquier persona construyendo su propio camino. - Desktime Stories: historias que despiertan tu potencial de liderazgo y crecimiento. Escúchanos en Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube y donde sea que escuches tus podcasts.

Ep. 15 Stop Feeling Behind with Mirtle Peña-Calderón
Aug 5, 202635 min
Feeling behind, burned out, or unsure if you’re doing enough? In this episode of Desktime Stories, Mirtle Peña-Calderón shares an honest conversation about creativity, identity, boundaries, grief, food, and learning to trust your own voice. She talks about the pressure many women feel to do everything, the importance of knowing when to pause, and why keeping track of small wins can help us remember that we are still moving forward. From The Book of Awesome Latinas to The Bocadito and Confessions of a Tired Latina, Mirtle reminds us that we do not have to have it all figured out to keep growing — and that we are enough simply for existing. You can connect with Mirtle on LinkedIn under Mirtle Peña-Calderón, follow her on Instagram at @myrtlepcalderon, and read her Substacks: Confessions of a Tired Latina, The Bocadito, and Awesome Latinas. You can also support The Book of Awesome Latinas through Bookshop.org, local bookstores, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble. 00:00 Storytelling Matters 00:10 Meet Myrtle Pena Calderon 02:06 Origins of a Chismosa 05:56 Pain Grief and Poetry 09:17 Boundaries Hedge vs Wall 13:41 Confessions of a Tired Latina 14:50 Making Awesome Latinas 20:09 Lessons from 500 Years 22:03 The Bocadito Food Stories 26:14 Burnout Wins and Bandwidth 31:23 Where to Follow and Support 33:21 You Are Enough 34:06 Final Pep Talk and Goodbye
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.
