Healthcare CEO: Life or Death Stakes in Regulated Industries

Send us Fan MailLEVEL THREE: EMERGING CEO What does it actually take to build a company where mistakes have real-world consequences? In this episode of The Business Game, Ryan Hawley shares the story behind Odin Industries, a global organisation operating across healthcare, insurance, and legal systems in some of the most complex and high-stakes environments in the world.  This isn’t just a conversation about scaling a business. It is a conversation about what happens when you scale inside systems that are regulated, international, and unforgiving, where decisions affect people’s health, claims, and livelihoods – and there is no margin for error.  Ryan talks openly about building in war zones, navigating global operations, and the reality of growing fast without breaking the machine. From learning how to delegate as a self-confessed control freak, to managing risk across multiple countries, to keeping a team aligned under pressure, this episode reveals what it actually takes to operate at a global level.  If you are scaling a business, building across borders, or trying to step into true leadership, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons.  We cover: •  how Odin Industries was built from frontline medical experience •  the moment Ryan chose to build systems instead of stay inside broken ones •  scaling quickly without letting operations collapse •  why delegation is the only way to buy back time • managing risk across international and regulated environments • what almost broke during rapid growth and global expansion • the leadership shift required to run a high-stakes organisation Follow The Business Game for more real conversations with founders building across different levels of business.  Support the showThank you for listening to The Business Game, where real founders break down the real levels of business.Whether you're building at Level 1 ($0–$1M) or scaling through Level 6 and beyond, this show is designed to help you understand exactly where you are, and what it takes to level up.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, follow and leave a review.
