Wait a minute - Helen Hannan Evans on Listening Beyond Assumptions
Sep 30, 202631 min
What changes when we pause long enough to question what we think we know? In this episode of Where We Place Ourselves , Archana Mohan speaks with Helen Hannan Evans, founder of Brand, Marketing and Communications consultancy The Listening People , about the experiences and assumptions that shape how we listen. From growing up in 1970s Ireland to an unexpected moment of recognition sparked by Annie Lennox, Helen explores how we learn to see the world, and how we can learn to see it differently. Together, we discuss the instinct to fix before someone has finished speaking, the judgement we bring to AI, and why fresh ideas often come from people outside our field. Helen also shares how she has shaped a working life that brings together what she values about corporate life and running her own business. And when a closing question leaves her momentarily without an answer, she gives the conversation something fitting: space to think. A conversation about curiosity, questioning assumptions, and making room for what we haven’t heard yet. Work that has inspired Helen The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander and Ben Zander The work of Oscar Trimboli focused on Deep Listening
Don't Abandon Yourself: Remi Olajoyegbe on Belonging, Wisdom and Success
Sep 21, 202622 minS2
What if success isn't about what we achieve, but what we refuse to abandon along the way? Remi Olajoyegbe has spent much of her life between worlds. Born to a Nigerian father and an Assamese mother and raised in Britain, she describes herself as a bridge between cultures, ideas and people. In this conversation, we explore what it means to find our place without making ourselves smaller to belong. We talk about the line between service and self-sacrifice, why wisdom may become more valuable as intelligence becomes abundant, and what community and lived experience give us that technology cannot. But our conversation keeps returning to one question: what does it mean to live a successful life? After a career that included investment banking, long nights and burnout, Remi has arrived at a strikingly simple definition. Success is living a life in which you are not abandoning yourself. Perhaps finding our place isn't about fitting into the world at all. Perhaps it's about becoming more fully ourselves within it.

Start Close In: Susan Ní Chriodáin on Listening to What You Already Know
Sep 4, 202630 minS2
What if the answer isn't somewhere out there, but something you already know? Susan Ní Chríodáin began her career in finance, where she was often labelled “the numbers person”. But numbers were something she did. They were never all of who she was. In this conversation, we talk about the labels work gives us, why senior people still need to feel seen, and what Susan discovered when she stopped looking for the “right” way and began trusting her own. We explore creativity, friction, AI, writing, the strange freedom of getting things wrong and why, sometimes, the most useful thing another person can do is simply listen. Susan's journey has taken her from numbers to coaching, from certainty to experimentation and, unexpectedly, to poetry. Underneath it all is a deceptively simple idea: perhaps we don't always need another answer. Perhaps we need enough stillness to hear what we already know. A conversation about work, creativity, humanity and learning to start close in.

In this episode of Where We Place Ourselves , Archana sits down with coach and therapist-in-training Alice Thompson-Boyd to explore what happens when external success no longer feels like home. Together they unpack Alice's journey from co-founding one of Scotland's most celebrated social enterprises to stepping away from a life that looked successful on paper but felt increasingly disconnected from who she was becoming. Their conversation explores purpose, burnout, identity, leadership, internal versus external validation, and the question that sits beneath so many of our decisions. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Along the way they discuss why transformation happens in the fire rather than after it, why placement may matter as much as purpose, and how learning to become the CEO of our own lives changes everything. This is a conversation about letting go, finding alignment, and discovering that the place we belong may have been waiting for us all along. Links to Alice's work: Alice Thompson Coaching

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.
