TED 40 | Understanding gender-based violence in the SBK scene with Dabney Evans
Jul 2, 202540 minS0
<p>1 in 3 women. 1 in 4 men. At work, at the gym, in any social context, gender-based violence is present in our lives and you may not even consider it all that often. But what if you did? What if you stepped onto the dance floor or into your lesson with an understanding of what gender-based violence is, who is at risk of it and the questions you can ask yourself to ensure that you are not making someone else feel threatened or uncomfortable? Let’s find out. Dabney Evans focuses her academic research on gender-based violence and is also a salsa and...
TED 39 | Felipe & Tiago: Is Role Rotation a tool towards safer spaces?
May 22, 202543 minS0
<p>A dance lesson with two equal teachers. A mindset that expects respect and rejects stereotypes. A dance floor where sexualisation and objectification aren’t entertained. There are teachers and spaces that are working hard to create safer spaces and a huge contributor to that growth are the teachers behind Role Rotation in bachata - Felipe Ramirez and Tiago Adegas. We put Role Rotation to the test and unpicked how this tool is empowering dancers around the world and creating safer and more respectful dance spaces. <br/><br/><b>In this episode:</b><br/>01:06 Finding the world of dance<br/>02:46 Wh...
TED 38 | Are you willing to risk leaving dangerous people on the dance floor? with Jason Potell
May 14, 202539 minS0
<p>How do you protect dancers across the SBK scene? You take their safety into account when planning your event. You talk about safety at your event. You give people knowledge about how to keep themselves safe. You take their experiences seriously when talking to them. That outdated line of “If I don’t hear about it, I can pretend it didn’t happen” is not going to cut it anymore - Jason Potell has been an active part of safer spaces for over 20 years and has combined his work and learning in that space with the dance space: his events i...
TED 37 | Why didn’t she report it to the police? with Rikki Archibald
Apr 15, 202532 minS0
<p>“Why didn’t she report it to the police?” “This is not my problem, this belongs with the police.” We are hearing these comments in the salsa, bachata and kizomba spaces, where people are speaking from a point of little understanding of being a victim or survivor (and that’s great!) or little understanding of the official process of sexual assault cases. Rikki is a lawyer and a dancer, teacher and organiser who also volunteers by supporting victims of sexual assault and she walks us through how to remove people from an event and the process of what a person may e...
TED 36 | Male privilege and an insight into threats in the SBK scene with Cameron Holden
Apr 1, 202532 minS0
<p>Raised to be aware of your privilege as a man in the SBK scene is not something many men can reflectively say. Cameron Holden gives us a look at the salsa, bachata and kizomba scene through a self-aware lens - the male privilege that is present and prevalent in our scene - from the attitude towards teaching followers (who are women in the majority), to the way in which some men in positions of power (this includes leading) take advantage of women, to the threats and “bros club” culture that exists in our scene, Cameron offers a perspective that we sho...
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.
