Episode #84
You Can’t Self-Care Your Way Out Of An Unhealthy Workplace – Ep 83
Aug 18, 202613 min
Meditate. Exercise. Set boundaries. Get enough sleep. All good advice—but what happens when the real problem isn’t your ability to handle the stress, but the conditions creating it? In this episode, I challenge one of healthcare leadership’s most persistent assumptions: that when work becomes unsustainable, leaders simply need to become more resilient. You’ll discover how capable leaders can actually hide organizational problems by continually finding a way to make things work, how to tell when you need to do something differently versus when the work needs to change, and three practical ways to create healthier working conditions—even when you don’t control the staffing, budget, or larger organization. Because self-care matters. But you can’t self-care your way out of an unhealthy workplace.

How Tooting Your Own Horn Actually Makes You a Better Leader – Ep. 82
Aug 11, 202614 min
Most healthcare leaders would never dream of “tooting their own horn.” But what if keeping quiet about everything you’re doing behind the scenes is actually making it harder to lead? In this episode, I share why making your leadership visible isn’t about getting credit—it’s about helping your team understand what it takes to create change inside of a complex organization. You’ll learn how to strategically pull back the curtain and share what you’re doing so you can reduce cynicism, build trust, and help your team become stronger partners in solving the challenges you face together.

Don't Become the Micromanaging Boss You Swore You’d Never Be – Ep. 81
Aug 4, 202614 min
Most healthcare leaders don't intend to become micromanagers. They just care deeply about doing great work. In this episode, you'll learn how to recognize the subtle signs if you've crossed the line from supportive leadership into micromanagement, why it happens to even the best leaders, and how to stop before you become the micromanaging boss you swore you'd never be. You'll also discover practical strategies for handling a micromanaging boss, breaking the cycle, and creating a team that thinks for itself instead of waiting for your approval.

The Hidden Power Dynamics Blocking Your Team's Best Ideas – Ep. 80
Jul 28, 202612 min
Power dynamics influence far more than who makes decisions—they determine whose ideas get heard, whose concerns stay hidden, and whether your team's best thinking ever reaches the surface. In this episode, I explain how invisible hierarchies shape information flow in healthcare teams and why even the smartest teams can underperform when frontline expertise isn't fully leveraged. Drawing on systems thinking, complexity science, and lessons from leading one of the nation's highest-performing NICUs, you'll learn three practical strategies to create an information-rich culture where people speak up sooner, problems surface earlier, and better decisions follow.

The Kind of Burnout No One Is Talking About (Spoiler: It's Not Your Workload) – Ep. 79
Jul 21, 202610 min
Your workload may not be what's burning you out. There's a hidden kind of burnout that happens when you're repeatedly asked to lead in ways that conflict with your values and instincts. In this episode, you'll discover why that invisible tension can leave even the most dedicated healthcare leaders emotionally exhausted, how to recognize the signs of what I call misalignment burnout, and practical ways to realign your leadership so your work feels more authentic, meaningful, and sustainable again.

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.
