Get Your FREE 30-Day Trial NOW: ✅ Want To Be Interviewed On This Podcast? → In this episode, we sit down with Jessica White, a former physical therapist turned telehealth entrepreneur who's built 75+ telehealth brands from the ground up. Jessica grew up on food stamps in Appalachian Ohio, spent 27 years as a licensed PT, and stumbled into the influencer world on maternity leave — just hoping for free skincare and baby socks. That $400 course turned into a full digital agency, then a pivot into GLP-1 and weight loss telehealth, where she lost $300,000 across three failed platform partners before building her own proprietary tech from scratch.
