162 | I Asked The Holy Spirit For Help In My Service-based Business And Here’s What Happened
Jul 11, 202622 min
Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians with a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. In this episode, I am stepping into a guest host seat on the Gen Truth Podcast to share something that has shaped every area of my life, including my business. The Holy Spirit is not only your helper for spiritual growth. He is your helper for real, everyday challenges, and that includes the work you are building. Anchored in Romans 8:26 to 27 NLT, I walk you through how the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, and I open up about the areas where He has helped me personally. From the mental health struggles I carried when I was younger, to my marriage, to building healthy habits, to the strategies that keep me focused and productive in my business, I share the real moments where I asked for help, and He answered. You will hear the story of how I first discovered the Holy Spirit as a child watching my mom, the strategy He gave me to get focused work done, and the simple practice I use to invite Him into any problem I am facing. If you have ever felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed, this conversation is your reminder that you are not alone. With the Holy Spirit, everything is figureoutable. I pray this blesses you. .

159 | The Reason Your Service-based Business Stalled After Launch And The Two Things That Get It Moving Again
Apr 29, 202628 min
Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. You launched. You did the hard work of getting your business off the ground. Now what? If you've found yourself back in perfecting mode, tweaking your website, adjusting your pricing, adding another system, this episode is your redirect. After launch, there are only two things that move the needle: leads and sales. Everything else is secondary until you have paying clients. In this episode, we break down why leads and sales are your top two post-launch priorities, what lead-generating and sales-generating activities actually look like for a service-based business, and how to stay in motion even while working a full-time job. By the end of this episode, you will know the two post-launch focus areas that drive revenue and keep your business moving forward long after launch day. I pray this blesses you. .

158 | The Missing Piece Between Your Lead Magnet and Your First Paying Client
Apr 22, 202622 min
Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. If you're attracting leads but not converting them to clients, the problem might not be your offer; it might be what's happening (or not happening) between the opt-in and the sale. Your client experience doesn't begin at onboarding. It begins the moment someone says yes to your lead magnet. In this episode, we walk through how to create a Lead Journey Map, a practical, intentional plan for how you serve every lead from the moment they enter your world to the moment they become a paying client. This is a how-to episode designed to help you stop losing leads and start stewarding them with purpose. By the end of this episode, you will have a clear step-by-step process for building your own Lead Journey Map from scratch. I pray this blesses you. .

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.
