Nature as Therapy in New York | Rochester News
Aug 19, 20262 min
New York’s mental health initiative is unlocking nature as a healing tool—making it easier than ever for folks with mental health challenges to access free or discounted entry to state parks, golf courses, and swimming pools. The Office of Mental Health has streamlined the Access Pass application so clinicians can submit a simple digital confirmation, slashing red tape and boosting accessibility. With just 1,100 active passes issued despite millions relying on OMH programs, there’s huge potential. Backed by the “Be Well” campaign and partnerships with Parks and DEC, this push highlights how outdoor time reduces stress, boosts Vitamin D, and supports recovery—all while inviting New Yorkers to explore their state’s natural beauty for mental wellness.

Ukrainian Suspect Arrested in Nord Stream Case | Rochester News
Aug 19, 20262 min
German prosecutors arrest a Ukrainian scuba diver in Croatia, suspected of helping plant explosives on the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022 — a move hailed as a major breakthrough in the investigation. The suspect, previously arrested in Poland but not extradited, now faces charges after his lawyer says Poland’s ruling didn’t extend abroad. Meanwhile, another Ukrainian ex-officer is already in custody in Germany, linked to a yacht allegedly rented with fake IDs. As Russia points fingers at the U.S., German investigators dig deeper into potential Ukrainian involvement behind the sabotage that shook Europe’s energy security.

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.
