Too Much On Your Plate
Oct 3, 202622 min
Greta Johnsen talks with caller Courtney about juggling new motherhood and a full high school teaching load, and why aiming for "the 87% club" might be the kindest goal of all. What You'll Hear: Two Full-Time Loves, One Full Plate: Courtney opens up about the tug-of-war between teaching high schoolers she adores and mothering a 10-month-old she adores even more, and whether "enough" is even the right measure. The Case for B+ Effort: Greta introduces her "87% club" philosophy, a gentle reminder that good work doesn't have to mean perfect work, especially when your energy is already stretched thin. Saying No so You Can Say Yes: They talk through the quiet relief of stepping back from certain roles, and why letting go of one thing often makes room to show up better for everything else. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Welcome to The Nightly 01:30 Meet caller Courtney 02:00 New mom, high school teacher, mentor 07:51 Taking worries one bite at a time 11:36 The Power of No and the 87% club 19:57 Goodnight to Jacob and Mason For the fully immersive, phone free light + sound experience, learn more at hatch.co .

The Case for Ugly Comedians
Oct 2, 202624 min
Matt Bragg talks with caller Tony about his stand-up comedy class, the humbling art of never being the hero of your own joke, and his personal campaign to get more average-looking people on stage. What You'll Hear: The Pressure of Cheap Tickets: Matt opens with a funny gripe about how comedians get zero grace compared to a nil-nil football match nobody complains about. A Finance Guy Finds His Bubble Bursting: Tony explains why a buttoned-up securities license and a stand-up comedy class turned out to be the perfect odd couple. Why the Joke Only Works If You're the Fool: Tony shares the lesson that changed his writing forever, and Matt makes the case for letting more average-looking people have the mic. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Comedy tickets versus football tickets 01:53 Tony calls in about his comedy class 05:00 Inside the three levels of the course 08:04 Bursting the buttoned-up corporate bubble 15:28 The secret rule: never be the hero 17:42 The case for more average-looking comedians For the fully immersive, phone free light + sound experience, learn more at hatch.co .

Your Sign to Give Yourself Grace
Oct 1, 202630 min
Josh Gondelman talks with Caller Lindsay about mistaking empathy for weakness, the guilt of delegating too little or too much, and why she deserves an hour lunch break just like everyone else. What You'll Hear: A Boston Kid Full-Circle Moment: Josh opens with a sweet airport run-in with the mom of two former preschool students, and what it felt like to be greeted in a classic Bostonian way. Is Empathy a Weakness?: Lindsay, a mom of two, opens up about feeling burned by her own openness and wondering if being trusting makes her a pushover. Give Yourself Grace: Josh and Lindsay dig into delegating without guilt, why self-care can feel selfish (but isn't!), and how to stop narrating a rough day as proof you're failing. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Josh's Boston airport reunion 02:49 Welcome, Caller Lindsay! 04:26 Empathy: strength or weakness? 10:48 Learning to let go of control 17:43 A hard morning drop-off 25:42 Good nights For the fully immersive, phone free light + sound experience, learn more at hatch.co .

The Hobby Problem
Sep 30, 202624 min
Greta Johnsen talks with caller Dave about his 1,019-day chess streak, his first wobbly zipper on a hand-sewn leather wallet, and why being merely amiable at guitar might be the whole point. What You'll Hear: Too Many Hobbies, Not Enough Time: Dave admits he's mid a whole bunch of projects at once, and he and Greta debate whether that's a wonderful problem to have or a recipe for chaos. Chess, Wordle, and a Very Loyal Duolingo Streak: From a chess.com streak over a thousand days long to a mother-in-law's daily Wordle as proof of life, they swap notes on the small rituals that quietly hold a day together. When Hobbies Turn Into Homework: They get into a new book called The Case for Quitting and wonder when chasing mastery stops feeling fun and starts feeling like just another job. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Fall knitting and hobby talk 01:46 Caller Dave says hello 02:32 Mired in a pile of hobbies 07:58 A 1,019-day chess streak 14:11 The case for quitting 17:42 A new leather crafting phase For the fully immersive, phone free light + sound experience, learn more at hatch.co .

Why Hannah Refuses to Run Anymore
Sep 29, 202627 min
Matt Bragg talks with caller Hannah about her long-standing hatred of running, the truth behind getting "toned," and why strength training might be the better path to aging well. What You'll Hear: A Health Coach Who Hates Running: Hannah confesses she's spent a decade avoiding the very activity everyone assumes she loves, and explains why the step mill somehow beats it. Five Non-Negotiables for Feeling Good: Hannah breaks down her simple formula for sleep, strength, movement, food, and consistency, no crash diets required. Finding Your Why: Matt and Hannah dig into the real motivation behind lasting change, from health pensions to progress photos. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Matt weighs combat sports against a running comeback 02:07 Hannah admits she hates running 05:22 The Army cadence that fixed his pace 10:45 Hannah's five non-negotiables 16:00 Atomic Habits and the identity switch 23:10 Good night to a very patient personal trainer For the fully immersive, phone free light + sound experience, learn more at hatch.co .

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.
