Healing Heroes

What Healing Heroes does

Healing Heroes is a documentary-centered initiative that produces cinematic content on PTSD and alternative healing pathways, primarily serving U.S. military veterans and first responders. Founded in 2024 by Dr. Charles "Charlie" Powell, MD — a physician-veteran who underwent psychedelic treatment for PTSD after decades of conventional therapy — the company operates within Solo Vive Studios, a production subsidiary of parent company Solo Vive. Its flagship product, the documentary "Healing Heroes No Mind Left Behind," follows six veterans and first responders exploring non-conventional treatments including magnesium-ibogaine therapy (cited as improving a peer-reviewed disability rating from 30.2 to 5.1), and premiered at the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas on March 25, 2026 with a scheduled streaming release on major platforms in April 2026.

The technology stack is content production — film, podcast, and community programs — with no proprietary software platform or AI components. Revenue is generated through two distinct streams: documentary licensing royalties from streaming platform distribution, and subscription-based membership fees from the Happiness Academy, a year-long, application-based program launched in February 2026 by Chandler Stroud (founder of the affiliated Healing Heroes Podcast) targeting women interested in holistic healing practice. Pricing for both streams is not publicly disclosed. Distribution and marketing lean heavily on organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), earned media (Washington Times, AP News, Yahoo Finance, KTLA, Benzinga), a podcast channel, email marketing, and the 888 Challenge social movement designed to amplify PTSD awareness.

The primary customer segment is U.S. veterans and first responders with PTSD seeking alternatives to conventional mental health treatment; a secondary segment is women consumers seeking structured holistic healing education. Geographic scope is the United States, with planned expansion to Canada for the Happiness Academy program. The company is privately held and founder-controlled, with no external institutional investment disclosed.

Direct peers

• Headspace: Mental wellness content subscription with guided programs, employer partnerships, and clinical integrations. Direct comparability in business model (content-first, recurring subscription) and target use cases (stress, sleep, resilience for working professionals).
• Waking Up: Sam Harris-led mindfulness and awareness content platform emphasizing contemplative practices for emotional well-being. Comparable as a founder-led, mission-driven mental wellness content brand with a strong podcast presence — closely mirroring Healing Heroes' documentary-plus-podcast-plus-community structure.
• Calm: Subscription-based mental wellness content platform offering meditation, sleep, and mental health audio/video content with a celebrity-narrator brand strategy. Comparable to Healing Heroes' content-and-community-driven model with recurring monetization.
• Gaia: Subscription streaming platform focused on yoga, alternative healing, consciousness, and psychedelic-adjacent content. Directly comparable to Healing Heroes' alternative-healing subject matter and recurring-revenue streaming model.

Broad incumbents

• Team Rubicon: Veteran-led disaster response nonprofit with veteran mental health programming targeting the same veteran demographic. Comparable audience overlap and veteran-community brand-building pattern but mission is operational rather than content-focused.
• Talkspace: Online therapy platform serving individuals and enterprise benefits programs, including mental health specialty services. Comparable end-user mental-health focus but operates as a clinical service provider, not media.
• BetterHelp: Largest online mental health teletherapy network covering anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD via licensed therapists. Overlapping target population (PTSD sufferers including veterans) but delivers clinical services rather than awareness content.
• Wounded Warrior Project: Large veteran services nonprofit providing mental health, physical recovery, and advocacy programs across the U.S. veteran population. Same target audience (veterans with PTSD) but as a comprehensive services organization rather than content/media.

Emerging players

• Psychable: Community platform centered on psychedelic-assisted therapy education and access, including content, provider directories, and member resources. Directly comparable as early-stage psychedelic-mental-health content/community platform, though Healing Heroes is more media-led and Psychable more community-listed-resource.
• The Mighty: Health-condition-focused content and community platform serving people with chronic conditions, mental illness, and disabilities. Comparable in combining editorial content with peer-story storytelling to drive community engagement around a specific health condition.
