Episode #33
This week the guys talk about Pixar's Ratatouille, a movie Dave had actually not seen before. Pixar's love letter to creativity is a must-watch for anyone who tells stories or creates art. Sign up for our Dispatch, a weekly column to inspire your creativity at https://smarterartist.net/dispatch
Episode #32
This week's Smarter Artist didn't go to plan. It was supposed to be (fittingly enough) a brainstorming episode. But Dave realized partly into it that his concept sucked. So, back to the drawing board. Instead, the guys talked about the subject of last week's Dispatch, which was what you can get out of bad movies. And they talked about Netflix's The Last House. But the highlight of the episode was when Sean's webcam died and Dave threatened to replace his face on the video with an AI atrocity thumbnail that did NOT turn out as planned. If you ever wondered what Sean would look like if he was more…um, Davey, then you'll want to see the thumbnail in the video, at around the 10:20 mark.

The Smarter Artist Show
In this episode Johnny talks about an incident when he was about to get his Kickstarter book, Terminal, printed. Just one problem … the printer had an issue with the content.

Episode #30
This week's podcast is another Alternate Endings, a show we recorded in 2021 and never released… until now, where we each make the others watch a movie we loved. Think of it like Oprah's Book Club, if she chose books to piss off the others in the club. This week's pick was from Sean. And it was his hero, Quentin Tarantino, and his film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Sean LOVES Tarantino. Dave does not. Let the arguments begin!

Episode #28
This week we bring you the third episode of Alternate Endings, the show between the Smarter Artist episodes, where we force each other to watch a show or movie and then talk about it. These episodes were recorded in 2021, then promptly hidden in a vault for reasons unknown, never before aired. This week we talk about my pick, the zombie thriller Train to Busan. Additionally, we argue about Stephen Kind and Quentin Tarantino.

FAQs
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.
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.
