The Value of a Service Dog
Sep 29, 202610 min
The Value of Service Dogs for Veterans A service dog is more than a companion—it becomes a trusted teammate. Service dogs can help veterans with PTSD by: Interrupting nightmares and panic attacks Recognizing anxiety before it becomes overwhelming Creating space in crowded places Providing comfort and a sense of security Helping veterans feel confident leaving their homes They can help veterans rebuild trust, independence, and daily routines. The dog doesn’t erase the veteran’s past—it helps them move forward. Through the 1 Veteran Foundation, I’ve seen veterans begin to reconnect with their families, communities, and themselves. Healing doesn’t always happen quickly. Sometimes it begins with four paws walking beside you. Asking for help is not weakness. Sometimes strength means accepting a new teammate. A service dog may not change yesterday, but together, they can build a better tomorrow.

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.

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.
