## Resource

Daniel Robbins sits down with Kris Fishman, CEO and President of Wells Pharmacy Network, to break down the confusing world of compounding pharmacies, peptides, GLP-1s, and personalized medicine. Kris explains why compounding exists, why peptides have exploded across social media, and how his company is navigating regulation, safety, speed, and demand. He also opens up about the sacrifices of leadership, missing much of his children’s lives while building, and why helping patients feel better became deeply personal for him.
