Jessica White hits Dropping Bombs with a ruthless playbook for launching high-margin GLP-1 brands that print recurring cash. As a physical therapist for 26-years to becoming a growth architect, Jessica maps the exact model founders use to scale weight-loss and longevity offers—traffic first, compliant providers, pharmacy partners, software, and scripts. Expect real numbers ("They could make $100,000 a month."), pricing frames, and how micro-influencers beat ads when you package the offer correctly.

Action takeaways: niche your promise, own the traffic, secure the five components, and stack recurring revenue with coaching and continuity. You'll hear the mindset that separates winners, plus the simple retention levers most skip. Ready to build a real business instead of chasing one-off sales? Press play and turn demand into durable, compounding income.
