Ep. 203 From Selling to Serving: Hiram Gandia Torres on Building an Ethical Business
Aug 12, 202642 min
This week on Mission CTRL , Ramon and Jorge sit down with Hiram Gandia Torres, owner of Pillar Solutions, for a powerful conversation about trust, integrity, entrepreneurship, and what it really means to serve your clients. In an industry where confusion can often be exploited, Hiram has built Pillar Solutions around a different philosophy: education, transparency, and doing what's right for the client. From helping seniors navigate Medicare, to supporting businesses with their employee benefits, his mission is simple - build trust and create long-term relationships rather than simply make a sale. Together, they explore the turning points that changed Hiram's path, including his transition from teaching into insurance, the lessons he learned from failed business ventures, and how his experiences helping Spanish-speaking families navigate insurance ultimately inspired the creation of Pillar Solutions. The conversation also dives into why Hiram believes “trust is the product,” how Pillar Solutions is working to become a leading bilingual insurance brokerage, and why serving clients holistically means going beyond simply selling a policy. Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, insurance professional, or someone trying to build a business with purpose, this episode is a reminder that success isn't just about what you sell - it's about how you serve, the relationships you build, and the integrity you bring to the table. Tune in to hear Hiram's story and learn why, in business and in life, always operate with integrity. • • • Find full episodes of Mission CTRL on Anchor, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and our website .

Ep. 202 From Bullied to the NBA: Ta'Quan Zimmerman's Mission to Build Champions On and Off the Court
Jul 29, 202651 min
This week on Mission CTRL , Ramon and Kevin welcome former NBA player Ta'Quan Zimmerman, founder of Be a Baller, Not a Bully, along with his brother and COO, Duval Zimmerman, for a powerful conversation about resilience, purpose, and the mindset that changed everything. Before playing professionally and spending time with the Utah Jazz organization, Ta'Quan faced bullying, personal loss, and repeated rejection - including being cut from his middle school basketball team three years in a row. So what changed? Together, they explore the habits that separate dreamers from achievers, why mental toughness matters more than talent, and how life's toughest moments can become the foundation for something much bigger. The conversation also dives into the rise of the Elite 20 Invitational, taking place at Shelton High School in Shelton, Connecticut. This is one of the nation's premier high school basketball showcases and it's helping spread a message that reaches far beyond the basketball court. Don't miss this year's event on August 11, streaming live on the NBA App! Whether you're an entrepreneur, athlete, parent, coach, or simply chasing a goal of your own, this episode is a reminder that your greatest setback might just become your greatest strength. • • • Find full episodes of Mission CTRL on Anchor, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and our website .

Ep. 201 AI Overload: Are Small Businesses Relying Too Much on AI? Featuring James Worthy
Jul 8, 202632 min
This week on Mission CTRL, Ramon Peralta and Jorge Pezo-Candelario welcome James Worthy, AI product developer and fellow podcaster, for a timely conversation about the growing AI consumer backlash - and what it means for businesses trying to stand out. As AI-generated content becomes easier to create, more brands are beginning to look and sound the same. The discussion explores the rise of AI fatigue, why authenticity is becoming more valuable than ever, and where businesses should draw the line between automation and human creativity. James offers the perspective of someone building AI products every day, while Ramon and Jorge examine how strategy, design, and brand identity continue to separate memorable businesses from forgettable ones. Together, they discuss the overuse of AI in marketing, the future of creative work, evolving customer expectations, and why the strongest brands will be the ones that use AI as a tool - not a substitute for original thinking. If you're a business owner, marketer, designer, or entrepreneur navigating the AI era, this episode will challenge the way you think about branding, creativity, and what it really takes to stand out. • • • Find full episodes of Mission CTRL on Anchor, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and our website .

FAQs

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.
