Send us Fan MailLEVEL 6: $50M – $150MGOVERNANCE, DATA & SERIOUS INFRASTRUCTUREIn today’s episode of The Business Game, we’re sitting down with Jesse Vidrine, Founder of Vidrine Pharmaceutical Group and President & Co-Owner of Boudreaux’s New Drug Store, a pharmacist-owned compounding pharmacy that has exploded from a small local operation into a national business licensed across 45+ U.S. states. After buying the pharmacy just weeks before COVID hit, Jesse and his wife Kylie faced what sounds more like a disaster movie than a business journey: denied by 9 banks, a Category 4 hurricane, floods, ice storms, and moments where payroll nearly didn’t get paid. Somehow, through all of it, they scaled the company over 800% in just 24 months. In this episode, Jesse breaks down what it really takes to scale inside one of the most tightly regulated industries in the world, where there’s no room for mistakes, compliance is everything, and growth only happens if your systems, people, and leadership evolve fast enough to survive it.If you’re building a business under pressure, navigating rapid growth, or trying to scale without breaking the machine, this episode is for you.Let’s dive in, with Jesse Vidrine: how they survived COVID, hurricanes, floods & near-bankruptcy  why patients, not doctors, changed healthcare forever  how they grew from 6 employees to 100+  the real reason most founders fail under pressure  why “risk it for the biscuit” became their business philosophy  how AI and automation are transforming modern pharmacy operations  why peptides could become bigger than the GLP-1 boom  the leadership lessons that come from scaling in a zero-mistake industrySupport 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.
