Measles Exposure Alert: What You Need to Know | Rochester News
Sep 19, 20261 min
Measles exposure alert: If you were at a business from Sept 9–11 and aren’t immune, you’re at risk. Symptoms appear 7–21 days later—fever, cough, red eyes, rash—and you can spread it before the rash even shows up. Call your doctor BEFORE visiting if you think you’ve been exposed. High-risk groups include kids, seniors, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals. Check your immunity status—born before 1957, two MMR shots, or past measles? You’re likely protected. Unsure? Contact Wayne County Public Health at 315-946-5749. Stay safe—measles is no joke. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Sep 19, 20262 min
New York is paying $24 million to the family of Robert Brooks, who died after being brutally beaten by correction officers at Marcy Correctional Facility — a tragedy captured on bodycams and now settled in both federal and state court. Governor Hochul called the death “senseless and horrifying,” vowing reforms to protect incarcerated people and honor Brooks’ memory. Several officers have already pleaded guilty, including one convicted of murder and manslaughter. The family will soon speak publicly about the settlement, as the state pledges to learn from this pain and build a safer prison system.

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.
