Just Saying - The BRIEF Lab
Getting to the root cause is something many people struggle with when they communicate. They spend inordinate amounts of time talking about symptoms, not the underlying condition. In this episode, I share some practical perspectives and a simple mind mapping tool that will help frame the core issue and help you avoid talking endlessly around it.

Every leader is going to get tossed a tough question. The question is whether you’ll be ready to respond with clarity, courage and conviction, or fumble with a long and careless response. In this episode, I will get you ready to field a host of hot topics in a way that makes you communicate like a pro. The post Ep. 403 – Answering tough questions appeared first on Just Saying .

A colleague of mine, Grace Foster, wrote an insightful article for Forbes magazine this summer about the value of English majors in an age of AI. Specifically, she shares the value of “close reading” as a skill that we all should have: slow down, be critical, and understand how to turn good writing into something great. In this episode, I share her perspectives and mine to make this one of your core communication skills. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gracefoster/2026/07/14/english-majors-can-teach-us-how-to-be-indispensable-in-the-age-of-ai/ The post Ep. 402 – Close reading as the bridge to clear writing appeared first on Just Saying .

There’s a risk of letting AI tools communicate for you. In the business world, it’s being referred to as “AI slop” and leaders are increasingly concerned that their people are succumbing to the allure and ease of AI doing the thinking and communicating for them. This week, I suggest assuming a critical role as editor-in-chief to ensure that your hard, deliberate work of revision will translate into messages that are always authentically yours.

The acronym K.I.S.S challenges us to “keep it simple, stupid.” The problem with that infamous adage is that nobody wants to look stupid, so they avoid simplifying complexity. This week, I discuss why people are so afraid of not looking super smart and the risks they run when they fail to make things easier to understand.

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
