The Post-Graduation Intelligence System
Aug 5, 20269 min
Most graduate programs stay in touch with their alumni. Almost none of them are actually learning anything from it. A call. A newsletter. A reunion invite. That's a relationship — not a research instrument. And it tells you nothing about whether your curriculum actually worked once your graduates were out in the world using it. There's one tool most programs already have that could answer that question. It just gets retired the moment it would start paying off. That tool is the Bridge Matrix. This episode discusses how the Matrix can be turned into a "Post-Graduation Intelligence System." RELATED CONTENT: "Do You Have a Tool That Can Show Whether Your Curriculum Still Works One, Three, Five, or Ten Years After Graduation?" LinkedIn Newsletter, August 5, 2026.

The Bridge Matrix
Jul 22, 202610 min
Most graduate programs run three conversations that never touch: what learners need, what curriculum teaches, and what employers expect on day one. The Bridge Matrix is a single tool — built on Bloom's Taxonomy — that plots all three on one grid, so the gaps between them become visible instead of assumed. This Play walks through how to build the matrix, read it, and run it twice: once to plan a curriculum cycle, and again to prove what changed.

The Graduate Program Purpose Statement - Discovering What Your Graduate Program Stands For - and Building It to Last
Jul 8, 202610 min
Your graduate program probably has a mission statement. Here's the problem: it almost certainly belongs to someone else. Most graduate program mission statements are one of two things: • The university's institutional mission with a discipline-specific phrase inserted. • Something so broadly worded it could apply to any program at any institution in the country. Neither of those is a purpose statement. And both fail the program in ways that compound. A statement that could belong to any program belongs to no program. It can't help an admissions team recognize a well-matched candidate. It can't help a faculty member design a learning experience specific to what this program is trying to produce. It can't help a staff member support a struggling student. And it can't give an alumni coordinator a reason to stay in relationship with graduates five and ten years out. The revised Play 0.1 — The Program Purpose Statement — explains the difference, walks you through building one, and gives you eight tests for knowing when what you wrote is strong enough to carry the weight the rest of the Playbook will place on it. If you have a mission statement and you're not sure it's doing the work a purpose statement needs to do, the Compass Test in Section 3 will answer that question in about four minutes. It's Free. 🔗 Play 0.1 — The Program Purpose Statement: https://rgalsup.com/play-0-1-the-program-purpose-statement/ 🔗 All published Plays: https://rgalsup.com/grad-program-intake-playbook/

New Research on Curricular Agility — Where Does Your Program Land?
Jul 1, 20269 min
The Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable just released a study of 69 graduate business schools examining whether institutions have the organizational systems to detect external change and translate it into sustained curriculum adaptation. One finding stood out: roughly a third of schools have the operational capability to adapt — but don't consistently activate it. The researchers call this "Latent Agility," and it may describe more institutions in this community than the more dramatic "high-friction" cases that usually get attention. I summarize the findings and what they mean for program-level leadership — including a discipline-neutral framework for assessing where your own program might fall, regardless of where it sits within your college or university structure. I'd be glad to hear how this framework lands for your institution. 🔗 Access Research Entry 001: https://rgalsup.com/research-entry-001-curricular-agility-in-graduate-business-education/ . 🔗 To view all published plays, visit: https://rgalsup.com/grad-program-intake-playbook/ . The GBCR report itself is available through the Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable . Three Ways to Engage — All Free I built the Playbook to be useful, not to be sold. That means no paywalls, no retainers, and nothing to register for just to read the work. Read the Plays. Every Play is free at rgalsup.com. Start wherever your program needs the most help — each one stands on its own. Join a free webinar. I will be hosting free monthly or quarterly webinars on specific Playbook topics, built around real conversations with people working on the same problems you are. Registration will be required. Watch rgalsup.com and this newsletter for dates. Talk to me directly. If something here is hitting close to home for your program — faculty enablement, hidden data in your platforms, evidence that nobody is using — I would genuinely like to hear about it. Free one-on-one conversations are available via Calendly at rgalsup.com. Availability is limited on my end, so if you see a slot that works, grab it. The offer is open. The work is real. And if this research hit you the way it hit me, I would love to talk it through.

Welcome to the Graduate Program Intake Playbook
Jun 18, 20268 min
If your graduate program feels like it's stuck on a "recruitment treadmill," exhausting itself every cycle just to maintain the status quo, it may be time for a structural shift. Transitioning from survival to flourishing requires us to stop viewing the intake process as a one-time transaction and instead design it as a long-term partnership. This newsletter serves not just as a publication, but as a workshop for you to engage with. My goal is to assist you in architecting and iterating your own design-driven intake playbook. Every two weeks, I will share a modular "Play"—a specific tool, template, or strategy—that you can integrate directly into your program's playbook. By the end of our first cycle, you will have a documented, evidence-based system customized to fit your unique graduate culture. Let's start building your playbook.

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.
